HW#1 Parents interview

my mom :OK so the late 70's & early 1980's
there were NO COMPUTERS, NO INTERNET, NO MOBILE PHONES, NO ELECTRONIC HANDHELD GAMES, NO SUPERMARKET HOME DELIVERY.
There was darts though & people actually talked to each other.
we had walkmen instead of Ipods, we had mobile phones but they were big things that looked like bricks not the small things we have today. We had computers in our homes but they were much less powerful text only machines with what we thought was ahirty years ago life was very similar to what it is today except no computers in the home, no internet and no online roll playing games, twitter facebook or any of that stuff, people communicated with each other mainly by telephone (landline) as not everyone had mobile phones, only the more successful businessmen. It would be a while before everyone got a mobile phone and a while longer before text messaging and even longer still before every home had more than one computer.
