I've seen that stuff on TV. Must have been crazy growing up way back then. I'm in the 40's but I've never owned even a single 8-track tape.Originally Posted by onething
I never watched MTV, nor have I ever had an interest in it.
But I'm 24.

Looks like I have moved from one category to another since I created the last poll.
Man... I always wanted a Beat It jacket to go with my sweet-ass parachute pants. But, alas, I had to settle for the Members Only jacket with the sleeves pushed up.

I wanted the parachute pants. Had to settle for sewing together the very thick lawn and garden trash bags. Only problem at the time was I could not get trash bags in red. LOL..
I never owned an 8 track or had a car that had an 8 track player in it...
My DAD had 8 tracks - but don't ever remember him having anything to play them on...
I couldn't afford the Members Only Jacket ether. I thought they were cool! Well, back than I was riding the bus in sub zero temp, instead of taking government hand out!

I'm torn. I still have a few 8 track survivors (as well as a mint condition Craig 8 track player/recorder for those of you who may want to tape some of your favorite albums), but I was a single digit kid growing up (age 2-11) in the 60's, which would explain why I can't remember it much.
Then again, I remember the drills where we would go out into the hallway and kneel with our heads down with hands over our heads being called storm drills.

Here I am, 62 years, 6 months and 3 days old.
I think some of you guys are spelling it wrong, I think it is Empty V.
I remember listening to "The Lone Ranger" on radio, long before my family bought our first TV, a round screen, black and white, Philco. Not only did we not have iPhones, our phones did not have a dial. We just told the operator who we wanted to talk to.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Don't you just love progress?That's now called voice dialing. I can download an app to my iPhone to get that nifty feature.

I'm 52 and remember the Cuban missile crisis and the assassination of JFK very vividly. Of course I lived in Dallas at the time and was in the 3rd grade I think. We did the get under the wooden desk and surround yourself with kindling in case of a Nuclear fireball routine about once a month.
The main thing that has impressed me looking back at that time is the fact that when the President was shot the Principal of the school came on the PA and sent everybody home. That was entirely practical then because everybody's mother was at home. Think how impossible that would be today. Are you sure this is progress?

That would make you a 7 year old 3rd grade prodigy
But you're right, even at that tender young age we walked to school and came home to mothers care, not day care.
