Remember when...

[mattking2000]

I didn't see a thread for this, and I hope my explanation of this thread doesn't get too garbled...

What do you think you will tell future generations that were popular/only your generation would have experienced/know about it when you advance into your senior years? I realize that people come here from all walks of life, so the answers will vary (and that's partially what I want to see!)

E.g., some things that are probably being said today might be:
- Remember the edsel?
- Remember the gramophone?

Some things I might say would be:
- Remember when people had no idea what you meant by "photocopy" -- the term was "xerox"?
- Remember the HD DVD?
- Remember the "wardrobe malfunction"?

What are your "remember whens"?

This should be a very interesting and fun thread. I have to think about some things I would like to add.......

Ooh, good ones! I never knew olay was called oil of olay!

I have another one:

Remember when a mouse was something your cat hunted?
Remember when a virus was something you got antibiotics for?
Remember when surfing was something that required a board?
Remember when spyware was a suit worn by the likes of James Bond?

^^ Heck, I remember the days before colour television.

Remember when you had to GET UP and walk to the television to change the channel?
Remember when you only had 4 or 5 channels?
Remember when you had your own toy record player?
Remember the Esprit tote bag craze? Or the Coca-Cola shirt fad? Or Tretorns?
