And everyone used a telegraph for a fast message...now an e-mail is the common medium ...and "texting" is the new "Morse Code".....grin

the title of this thread brought in my mind this song...

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls
Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square

I remember hanging out on the corner with a flimsy leather jacket freezing my buns off & nobody would leave until the cops came and roughed us up a little-was not so bad as I later became one. laugh

Pencil skirts were cool to wear to the Friday night disco and sneeking a bottle of cider into the hall was the height of nawtiness..grin

I remember when:

Car hops when you went for burgers and fries and the waitress brought them to your car while she was on roller skates

Drive in movies where you put the speaker on your car door and the guy tried to put his arm around you for a kiss

Girls had to dress neatly for school and not in midriff tops that showed her belly

Pregnancy before marriage wasn't an everyday news event
