Things Kids of Today Wouldn't Recognize

Alright I know of or have used most of those but the picture of the Indian I don’t remember nor the left foot pedal unless your thinking about dimmer switch or a clutch.

 

Left foot - high/low beam switch for headlights.

I think the Indian is part of a test pattern that TV stations would broadcast at the end of the day. I've seen them in color, and without the Indian depiction.

 

Yup...............back in the days of black & white only television.

 

They made little black and white portable TVs into the seventies. I had one that had great reception I used to watch the red sox on a NH station when they were blacked out in Mass.
A little 12 or 13 inch Goldstar TV B&W.
Yeah push button starters are nothing new. I don't know if I would call the floor switch starter a switch it was more like a mini pedal. To the right of the gas pedal it had like a three inch throw or push. That's how I remember it anyway.

Now the first car I drove had three on the column.

 

Same here. Brother had a '62 Chevy something or another (big horizontal fin rear fenders) w/3 on the tree, and I bought a mid-70's Bronco with same.
Grandma had a Rambler with a push button trans. in the 60's.
Our new-ish SUV has push button start. Ooooooh, Ahhhhh.
What's old is new again. (wish I could say the same for myself).

 

I dont what that hand held electronic calendar is..

 

we naver had that over here,

 

You didn't have Lincoln.

I had a pencil carved just for this. My sister sharpened it once. Talk about mad. (For a teenager, at least)

Thats none of your business! Squating...

 

I tried and worked with my daughter to get her to ride a bike. I guess when you give a 3 year old a 4 wheeler you ruin them for a human powered machine. She is 9 now and still refuses to even touch a bicycle. Rides the crap out of a 4 wheeler still.

 

When my daughter was 5 I got here a go kart to drive my son around. She was a little short seeing over the steering wheel. I told her thats all right, all you need is a phone book. Looks me strait in the eyes and asks whats a phone book?

 

I asked a 18 and a 28 year old at work if they knew how to use a rotary phone. They asked me how you used them.

About 6 years ago I asked my niece if she had an orange magic marker. She had no clue. I said how about an orange sharpie, that she understood.

I work with 50 yrs who have totally embraced the electronic age and I am the only one who uses a phone book or has one on my desk. Kind of funny really because I get asked what the phone number is instead of them looking it up electronically.

 

You're not of the "hand crank on the front of the car" vintage?

 

My uncle was a 5th grade school teacher in the 80's he often lamented "how to you teach clockwise with a digital clock"

 

How about the ole " 3 in the tree shifter"...

 

What about three pedals and a dimmer switch?

I raise you crank windows and manual hubs!
