Atari
My favorite game was Frogger. -
Record Player!
I remember having the record sticking and I would have to pick up the needle to keep it from repeating. -
8 Track Players
I remember these were the next step up. My sister would barely let me touch her 8 Track tapes. -
Rotary Dial Telephones
I loved to play with these and watch it spin backward after I chose a number. -
VHS player
I remember the first time we recorded a movie. I thought that it would record my sibling's voices. -
Cassette Player
I remember having to rewind all of my tapes when it got to the end. Sometimes the machine would "eat" my tape and I would have to wind the brown tape back in, using my finger or a pencil. I began recording my journal entries on cassette tapes. -
Computer
I remember the printer pages had little holes that you would need to line up or else they would jam. -
Push Button Telephone
These were so cool. They also started coming out with cordless phones. -
Nintendo
I never had one, but my friend got one. We use to love to play Mario Bros. -
CD players
The discs were thicker and heavier than they are today. We had a rotating 5 disc player. -
Cell phone
It was really cool to have a cell phone. Not many people did. They were heavy and more like a brick. -
Letters
I remember writing letters to my friends that had moved far away. -
First Email Account
Email was just starting to become popular after I left home. I remember it being so neat to email my friends half way around the world.
