I'M SO OLD I CAN REMEMBER..,

I am reminded frequently of my accumulated years by the different way things are done today. Let me give you a short list of ten:

I can remember when
  • banks made money by lending to and servicing accounts, not just by trading
  • a hand shake validated a deal
  • people talked to each other instead of screaming at each other
  • you sat down to dinner and had conversations
  • you wrote letters (called snailmail now) and shared ideas in English, not shorthand
  • a kid's idea of porno was a four-letter word on a wall
  • games were played outside in the real, not the virtual, world
  • money was earned by hard work, not financial manipulation
  • morality was an asset, not a liability
  • love was a lot more than a four letter word

I'm sure you can add to the list.
