What is really scary is that some of these eg Analogue TV, Movie Rental Stores and Answering Machines were introduced during my lifetime. I must write about the excitement experienced when they were introduced for my descendants.
Watching The Davis Cup on TV through a shop window, watching The Mickey Mouse Club on a neighbour's TV each day are fond childhood memories. The purchase of a VCR and membership of a video shop at Bondi gave me respite from four energetic children during long summer holidays. Ahhh - memories.
