I was watching Beach Blanket Bingo and lo and behold there it was, the small notepad sized transistor radio clipped on to a bikini bottom. Those were the days. We had a little radio, tuned it to our favorite station and carried it wherever we went. It had a little external speaker so you could set it down next to you. It wasn't heavy like boomboxes either. Now we have iPods and mp3 players with headphones stuck in our ears. No wonder people get hit by cars.
And of course there was the classic Polaroid camera. Take a picture and a minute later you had the photo right there. You didn't even need batteries. Now you have to find your cord for your camera or dig out your card reader and attach it to your computer. Then you have to get your pictures on your computer provided it recognizes your device. After that you can spend hours figuring out how to use your "favorite" photo software program. All the while hoping the electricity does not go out or the camera batteries don't go dead.
We took selfies back then, too.
