Ok so this is just for fun

what was the world like before ..well anything really from the car to the cell phone spandex to gameboys ....


i cant remember life without my trainers, and i wouldnt want ..blurred images of black slip-on plimp-soles spring to mind ..remember them, 1/1000th of an inch of rubber between the soles of your feet and sharp things on the floor ...

Actually no, I'm too young to remember when trainers wern't around...lol sorry!

...anyone remember what it was like not having a mobile phone? It's really sad but they've been integrated into everyday life so much that if I should ever leave it behind I feel both liberated and lost. I feel free yet so alone...

I was born in the mid 80's, in the pounding heart of what the future would hold, so all the things that we see today are pretty much equal to what i can remember, video games we had those, cellulars big and bulky but they we're there, the digital age was just around the corner.

But there's one thing I can certainly remember that I don't see today the fun, I remember a time where my Green Rocket would rule my days and also a time when my friends and I would spend endless hour trying to see if Optimus Prime was better the Godzilla.

Aw the days of long summers and computerless times. Now the closes thing I get from the creativity we had back then is when we free style for 40 minutes for the heck of it.

Lets see...when I was a kid my dad(an engineer type) bought a Hand held Calculator(Ooooo...Ahhhh...) that set him back about $450.00, which at the time was a good 2 weeks worth of pay. It was one of the first hand held calculators that did trig functions. It was all the rage, my dad brought neighbors over to see the thing. Up until then, he had to use a slide-rule/trig tables to do calculations. The slide rule has gone the way of the /dodous, but back then colleges had classes on how to use a slide rule...

The best part was the time it took to actually calculate things. If you tried to do a trig function, it took a good 20 seconds to get an answer out of the thing...

There are calculators now that do ten-fold what that old calculator did, and cost about 10 dollars at the grocery store...

Not to mention, they break really easy....

there's always a bad thing to a good thing...but that only proves in what's the level of innovation the Tranformers were. It's like a real diamon on a mount of fake plastics.

I'm also a product of the mid 80s, but I can still look back and spot the difference...

I remember when you turned on the tv, you have three channels, and they all sucked tongue.gif I remember when the graphics for Sonic The Hedgehog were state of the art...if I think real hard, I can even remember back to our first ever console, a commidore 64, and marvel at how grap it was, yet at the time it was absolutely awesome.

Nowadays, I can't live without my PS2, my wrestling, my umpteen anime channels, my myriad of distractions from the crud of boredom tongue.gif Oh, and a university education being a luxury not reserved solely for the royal family, and their inbred friends tongue.gif


By the way, I could watch Janiel's avatar all day tongue.gif
