Things I have seen in the past almost 50 years

I was sitting here thinking the other day that one day when I'm dead my great grand kids  will say think of all of the things that grand ma saw in her lifetime.  

It's pretty crazy when I think about it but here is the list

leaded gas - you used to have to ask for unleaded if you had a newer car. My first car took leaded gas

Cable TV- we had a box with a cord that ran across the floor & you had to to position the switch in one of 3 spots to pick your channel

Remote control TV's 

Home computers

VHS -  DVD then Blu Ray Now streaming

8 tracks - vinyl - cassettes - CD's then streaming 

Micro wave ovens which my parents called a radar range

Dial up internet 

car phones - a legit phone that looked like one you had on the wall in your house 

Cordless phones

Cell phones

 Answering machines then voice mail

The birth of shopping chanels

When Amazon only sold books 

The birth of Target , Starbucks , Walmart

Y2K

9-11

Covid

I'm sure there are more for the list & I'll add on as I think of them
