I remember when I looked forward to the future.

When "Classic Rock" was just "Rock"

When TV weatherman drew weather maps on a blackboard with a chalk.

I remember when Reading Rainbow was still on cable television.

I remember when I 1st heard this song

I remember watching a program called The Electric Company. It's still on, but it isn't as good as the program I remember as a kid. I also remember Sagwa, The Chinese Siamese Cat.

I remember when the Public Broadcasting Service aired an educational show about mathematics called Square One Television.

When the kitty brothers, Peter, Paul and Prince were born. Peter was the last survivor, passing away last year at age eighteen. He is my oldest ever male pet. My oldest ever was my female Siamese, Samantha, who lived to be 20.

I don't remember a time when I could ever really call myself "normal," although I was told I was happy, social and outgoing before I began school. I made decent grades in school, but really didn't have very many friends. I am changing that now.

I remember when I was popular at my school for one Friday when I was 12 years old. I never understood why my classmates suddenly wanted to hang around with me that day, and then they just forgot all about me the following Monday.

I remember when there were payphones all over the place.

When TVs were really heavy and difficult to move around. Difficult to take home in your car.

When there were movie rental stores all over the place.

When people carried walkmans around with them.

When cell phones could only be used for phone calls.

When the internet was dial up and you had to sign off if you wanted the phone line to be free.

When answering machines had tapes inside of them.

When floppy disks were used in computers.

When you had to have the CD in the computer when you played a computer game.

When Sega made video game consoles.

I remember watching ALF religiously when it was first on TV in the 80s.

I remember when ITV was still somewhat regional.

I remember when televisions were much larger & heavier than they are today, and they were called console televisions. Console televisions have not been manufactured in years.

CockneyRebel,

I liked the Monkees, too!

I remember when compact discs were just shiny silver discs without any colours or artwork on the disc, and they just had the name of the album, the playlist, and the year it was released.
