Hey Old Folks (I include myself among you),

What's something people not old enough to have lived before Internet and cell phones can't understand, appreciate, or relate to?
Calling up radio station DJs, asking them to play a song you didn't own, and waiting all night to hope they played it—'cause you weren't hearing it otherwise.
Spending the night on the sidewalk in front of a department store to get tickets for a concert.
This TV remote.
The panic of getting a cassette tape stuck in the player, trying to extricate it without destroying it, getting a pencil to roll it back in—and the garbled sound each time you passed that spot.
Chairs with little pay TVs at the the airport.
