This, was, funny!
What's even worse though, is that for the longest time even when i was in
college we had no internet at the school that I went to, so you still had to
go to the library, or contact RFB and try to get them to help you with your
research. It, was, a, pain!
We had an Atari 2600, and while the graphics did blow from what I
understand, it was cool because those things were totally easy to play if
you couldn't see.
Every Friday night in my house, my brother, step-brother, my parents, and I,
would have our version of a sort of family game night, which involved a sort
of tournament version of playing Atari. It lasted at least, until Knight
Rider came on. LOL

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their
tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were
growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school
every morning .... uphill
BOTH ways .. yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was
no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on
kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that...
I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look
around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy!
I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we
wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and
look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a
letter .. with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across
the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a
week to get there!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you
had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and
the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the
phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone
rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your
mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent,
you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances,
mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked ass!
Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!
And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen
forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder
and faster and faster until you died! . Just like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some
old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you
were just screwed!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You
had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off
your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was
no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday
Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for
cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we
had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that!
If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing and
shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too
easy. You're spoiled.
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970's or 80's
