    Not even to look at your picture on the wall? ;) About 15 years ago a friend told me that his daughter who was about 11 or 12 then had never even seen a black and white TV

    My daughter has never seen a personal CD player, Sony Walkman, Atari, 8-track player, etc. It's funny the things you take for granted that your kids simply never knew existed.

    You must have thrown all your stuff away. I still have some of that old stuff in a closet or storage room somewhere.

    Kids have never seen a returnable glass Coke bottle and think the very concept is gross.

    Makes you wonder what will come along to make today's tech obsolete and virtually non-existent by the time your grandchildren are here, doesn't it?

    For years I always wore a watch, even several years after cell phones came out. The battery of the last watch I wore daily died 6 or 7 years ago and I never bothered to replace it. I never have worn any jewelry but I used to like wearing a nice watch
