| What modern conviniance didn't exist when you were born? I just posted about digital cameras not being available when I got Jazzie and started to wonder what modern conveniences we take for granted didn't exist when you were born. Me - 1965 - Color TV

I was born in 1961. Add to the list no cable or internet. We used to have a black & white TV with bunny ears. It was a big deal when channel 50 became available!!! Oh, the days of changing the channel manually and then adjusting the bunny ears and loading with tin foil to watch a fuzzy picture!!

| Child of the 60's here as well ('63 to be exact) and we had no electric ice cream freezers - hand crank only! And most people had party line phones, had to pay extra if you wanted a private line (anyone else remember those?). Suzi

| I remember when I was little.. early 70's, telling my mom, " When I grow up, I'm gonna have a phone in my car." who knew... I loved the Jetsons,, and now we have most of the stuff we thought was so cool on that show, still waiting for those little flying cars though,,now that will be cool.

| No disposable diapers! My mother had 4 kids under the age of 2 (my brother 2 yo, my twin sisters, 1 yo, and me, just born!) and she had to hand wash and hang up all the diapers! They didn't even have a washing machine (1955) so she washed clothes in the bathtub! Oh yeah, when did birth control pills come out? |

| I was born in 62 we did have automatic washer/dryer though. Milk man,and it came in bottles, with the little foil lid. In the winter if my Mom didn't bring it in on time. (around 4:30) we had frozen milk for breakfast. No plastic bag at grocery store, everything had a price sticker on it and they had the "OLD Fashion" cash register. No Blowe Dyers. I was in college when cable finally came to our town. When I tell my kids that TV went off the air, they crack up. Central Air, nope. My parents room and the living room had the only window units. We had to DIE of heat stroke at night in our rooms. I remember my neighbor was the first with color TV. All the kids went to their house to watch Charlie Browns Christmas.

I do remember the party lines. My grandmother(dad's mom) lived on the hill above us and she was on our party line and it use to drive me crazy she would listen on our phone conversations all the time. My grandfather(mom's dad) use to line up all the grandkids and have us take turns cranking the ice cream maker. We lived in the boonies so we didn't have cable or color tv until I had been in school for several years.

| My parents always told me about party lines. LOL. That sounds so funny. My stepdad used to get in trouble for listening in on his neighbors. I'm not sure if they existed, but we never had a remote control until I was a little older. You'd better believe that my parents watched the same channel for hours and hours bc they didn't want to get up and change the channel
