I was just looking at a post somewhere else online about a child who didnt know what to do with an old dial phone. It got me thinking of all the things now obsolete that only those of us who are older would recognise.
1. Touch typewriter
2. Tape cassette to record music
3 Push button TVs and black and white TVs
4 Rabbits ears
4 Coin operated public phones
5 Beepers or pagers
6 Cameras with film that you had to get developed
7 Telephones that had to be plugged in to the wall
8. Having to look up a phone number in a big telephone directory
9 Having to get directions from a paper map
10 Wind down car windows
Im sure there are many more. Do you remember things that are no longer around or done the same way since tecnology took hold.

I remember when children ran and played on parks instead of using tablets.

@karakay I had that kind of childhood and I still know people from those times.

We had an old dial phone in my home. At that time most people had replaced them with other kinds of phones. One of my friends came for a visit and she said "What is that? How does it work?"

All those things seem like yesterday to me.
