    My daughter-in-law had never seen manually operated push button door locks. My car is a 2002 with no alarms or power locks . At least I have electric windows.

    I still refer to hitting reverse on the DVR as rewinding.

    Well, how else are you going to tell if it’s raining ? Gotta open the window before you can stick out your hand.

    My son was — and still is — fascinated by “old technology”. When my mother’s brother died, he had all kinds of old electronic, non-digital equipment in his basement. My son still has the old-fashioned black rotary phone (hooked up again) and some old radio and television sets, and ham radio equipment. My uncle saved old circuit boards, and even old vacuum tubes. My mother, as executor of my uncle’s estate, threw out a lot of stuff. (She preferred “new technology.”)

    I brought my son old 8” and 5-1/4” floppy disks from work, as well as Mylar punch-tapes used on some obsolete CN machines. His rooms are like some kind of electronics “Antiques Road Show.”

    I guess some good has come of this. He now has a degree in electrical engineering.

    As kids. the A/C was a vent at the front of the driver and passenger window. We also had 5 kids in the back of a station wagon and NO seat belts. A wonder we survived. But then people did not drive 100 miles an hour in a 50 zone back then. lol

    And look pretty stupid also. Driving a 1955 Studebaker. Studebaker’s real cool – its the driver that ruins the car.

    My car is from the last century. It has one of those fancy new cassette tape players.

    We had to explain to our granddaughters that if they wanted to turn the lights on in the room, that they had to walk up to the wall and move the little lever to the up position.

    There in nobody named “Alexia” in our house.

    So what’s the term used today to roll the windows down? Askin’ for a friend, of course….

    This is why children don’t do well in History classes. Nothing existed before they were born…

    I remember roll down car windows and the wing windows too. You push them or cranked them out!

    The great thing about hand cranked windows was they worked. Wing windows worked, too, and they were just the thing when there was a smoker in the car….

    As I get older the only new technology I care for is back up camera and the little light that indicates something in my blind spot. I’m not a flexible as I used to be and those things are very helpful.

    My oldest niece used to talk REALLY fast when she was a teenager . When I told her to take it down to 33 1/3 ,she gave me a look like “HUH??” So I had to explain about records & how they came in (16 RPM 33 1/3 , 45, & 78 ) Thankfully she’s slowed down!

    I struggle with my electric windows, they go up down up down, I haven’t got the hang of making them stop where I want. I’m now worried if I get stopped by the police and turn my engine off how I will operate the windows, I haven’t worked out that one yet! Manually operating the windows was so much easier…

    You need car keys to open and close the window. It used to be that you could play Good Samaritan and roll up someone’s window in the parking lot as the rain storm approached.
