Great Scott!

Not a lot of history.

Ah, the younger generation<?>

Before which we rode horses, chopped wood, and sold cars by the pound.

Been there, not much happened….

And your fancy computer is out of date before you get it plugged in at home.

I am not an old fogy…just fashionably out-of-date !

I don’t think you could get passed (Y2K) going backwards.

Back To The Future

My daughter-in-law is a high school history teacher. She teaches a different history than I lived through.

My grandson ( now 20 yrs. old ) wouldn’t watch black & white films on television when he was little because he thought they were " for fake".He also couldn’t believe we didn’t have computers when I was a kid. I tried to explain, we didn’t even have a television, just radios and a record player..

No, it’s not 99% of science history, not even 1% All the major inventions and principles we use today were done or discovered before 1985. Integrated circuits, radio and cellular telephony, television, lasers, genetic engineering, structural and civil engineering, solar power, rockets, guns, nuclear power…all done before mid 80s.
