We got a telephone when I was probably about 6th grade. I remember my mother washing clothes with a wringer washing machine and clothes were hung outside to dry. My clothes were sewn by my mother.

When I was growing up we had TVs with no remote controls so I had to be my dad's remote control and change the channel when he wanted to see what else was on. We also had phones that didn't have buttons they were called rotary phones and had to be dialed and the numbers spun back and then you could go to the next number. It took a lot longer to dial a phone number.

At the museum the girls in my group didn't know what a clothes line was. I realized they were no longer used and explained to them how before dryers we line feted clothing. I felt old lol, so it begins!

When I was about Hailey's age I was fortunate enough to live in silicone valley in the early/mid 80s and my school got four apple computer. They were in library and we got maybe an hour a week to learn on them. The graphics were very blocky and pixelated. The computers were large and they was no mouse and everything had to be started by typing in a command line. My favorite games were QWERTY and Oregon Trail. What are your favorite games you all play on the computers, chromebooks and iPads at school?

When I was in Elementary/Jr. High school there weren't any computers in my school...when I started high school I learned to type on a typewriter and finally started using a computer as a junior.

When I was young we played outside roller skating, riding bikes, and/or hopscotch. We watch TV, listened to the radio, played board games, cards with our neighborhood friends and family. Oh, and we had chores we had to do before we could do any of it.

When I was younger I used an "Out House", watched my dad use a "crank" to start-up the Ford, listened to the Lone Ranger, the Shadow, other shows, and music on the radio (No TV), talked to an "Operator" to connect with another person by phone. Played outside with little Dragons until they were called in by their moms.

We grew up with only one rotary phone for a family of seven. We also were on a party line, so had to wait until our neighbors were off their phone before we could call out.

Our first home purchase in 1973 was 27,900. Now you can barely purchase a nice car for that amount.

Growing up we hung our clothes outside on a clothesline to dry, did dishes by hand and used a push mower to mow the lawn. We did a lot of physical work. Now we have machines do a lot of it for us.

Our transportation has changed. Cars now are more safe and comfortable. A long time ago there were not cars. We only had wagons pulled by horses.

The phones were what they call now "Landlines" and just about everyone had party lines. This meant that you shared with your neighbors. When the phone rang you had to listen to the ring. Ours was one long and one short, two short was our neighbor and my best friend. This also meant you had to be careful when you wanted to call anyone because one of your neighbors could be talking to someone.

I have 1 sister and 2 brothers and we played outside all the time. We didn't have computers, hand held games, etc. We rode our bikes or roller skated all over town. We made our own fun and they are such great memories!

The cartoons that kids watch have changed so much since I was a child! I can't believe how awful some of them are!! They also don't know what it is like to wake up on Saturday and watch the Saturday morning cartoons.
