I too, enjoy the position in history I was raised in.

Old enough to remember memorizing phone numbers and having a list in my teenage wallet of all the girls (and friends) I knew.

Remembering how things were before cell phones and facebook is going to be something I will grow old with and enjoy reminiscing about with a few friends.

I do like old technology or watching movies that take a snapshot of a specific place in technology history.

Like the movie Anchorman, it takes place before the rise of cable TV (and the web) when network TV's prominence was at it's highest.

In the late 70's and early 80's, local newsmen were borderline rock stars, everyone knew their name and they were considered an important part of a community.

But, this was only true for a few years. After the introduction of TV's in every home (60's and early 70's), but before cable TV spread and diluted the power of the Network stations.
