Lots of ppl have happy memories but all my memories sucked on the day to day living:
Wanted to learn something new or fact check it?
Nope not happening unless it was in a library. Wanted to see a cat in a frog hat? Not happening.
Central Air was way less common
Everything we ate was super unhealthy unless your family made it. See movie super size me for reference.
TV had no pause.
In fact you had read news paper to figure out what was showing when.
Then you had to rent physical copies and sometimes fight for it like black friday for 2 day rental or have to wait until next week.
Wanted to pirate a song? You had to wait for it to be on air to hit record. So you miss a bit.
Nothing small portable anything. Cell phones and some tvs had radiation. Walkmen with radio were size of a thick sandwich.
Internet was slow when it first came out and you couldn’t be on it for long as it was expensive and used up the phone.
Ppl listen into your call from another phone in house.

Rotary phones hurt my finders.
No cordless anything. Wires everywhere.
Smog was everywhere.
Acid rain was everywhere.
Being bullied was standard thing.
And the clothing options! What a joke.
Yeah, but they actually had to do it to your face, and that risk meant that there were significantly fewer bullies. (At least in my experience.)
I’m a weightlifter from age 13 though, so my build may have dissuaded bullies a tad.
