Flo and Friends by Jenny Campbell for March 31, 2014

ANYBODY still uses slide rules? I’ll bet they use carbon paper to make copies.

How quaint..\\//_

What’s a slide rule? Or carbon paper, for that matter? Ever heard of a typrewriter?

Then there’s a record album.

Don’t forget reel to reel tape!

I was cleaning out some drawers in a seldom used dresser and found a slide rule………hadn’t seen one of those in 40+ years. And I hated carbon paper, changing the ribbon on the typewriter, and that stupid little eraser with the brush on one end.

My husband has a reel to reel tape deck, it needs repair but he has one and several tapes.

HTTP = hyper text transfer protocol. I still have my slide rule, somewhere. Ditched the typewriter and carbon paper a couple of decades ago.

Things that did NOT exist when I graduated from High School:

Personal computersCell PhonesTouch Tone phonesTabletsMP3 playersCalculatorsDigital anything!MicrowavesWireless anything!TV any larger than 25 inches and Not High Def!Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. etc.

Remember 8-tracks?

Old fashioned board games are still popular with some people, but I don’t know anyone who still plays solitaire with real playing cards.

Slide rule = back scratcher

If he knows what “http” stands for, he probably has something a bit more “advanced” than a slide rule!
