I remember
Carrying around a slide rule for physics class.
The best music was on AM radio.
Having a large collection of 45 RPM records.
My mom's records were 78 RPM.
Color television did not exist.
They showed double features at the movies--all the time.
A candy bar costed 5 cents.
A slice of pizza costed as little as 15 cents, except at Johnny's Pizzeria where you could buy a square slice for a dime.
Big fins on cars were cool.
I Like Ike.
They had a computer on the Art Linkletter show which was huge--the size of an entire wall.
Playing Pong in black and white at an arcade.
Not becoming a computer programmer because I hated punch cards.
