1976 here, these are such fun memories to consider!
Our first TV was black and white - we got it after I was born.Originally Posted by rapunzel47
I'll go you one betterI was born in 1947, and we didn't HAVE TV until I was ten -- B&W of course.
The first computer I ever saw was a humongous ol' mainframe (anyone else remember those?) that took up a room larger than my house that had special air conditioning and took its data from little punch cards. My brother was the "console operator" and the year was 1965.
I owe my existence to one of those giant computers--my father was a programmer and my mother was a keypunch operator. That's how they met.Originally Posted by rapunzel47

I was born after 1986 but I still did a lot of stuff on that list. I used to have an orange bike with monkey handlebars and a banana seat, complete with spokey-dokes. I think I was in grade two when we got computers and I loved playing Scorched Earth and Oregon Trail. We also had an Atari!Originally Posted by OllyExtra05
I was born in 1980, and most definitely NEVER wore a helmet while riding my bike (which, yes, had flourescent spokey-dokes on it). We got computers at school around 3rd or 4th grade and I played Oregon Trail over and over again, yet died of dysentary everytime.
I had cloth diapers!Originally Posted by XangelicxnekoX
I even wore diapers that didn't change colors or temperatures when I peed in them. Thoes were the days.
