however did we cope?

this blog will show my age...you have been warned...
back in the olden days...i.e. the 80s...which is my favourite decade by the way...how did we cope sans internet and mobile phones?...we must've been seriously deprived.
at least our sports teams were better...ABs on top...cricket team ruled...
go the beige
p.s. an addenda...here's more stuff i thunk of...remote controls (i have seen one on a lead in the 80s..the allens had one), playstations et. al., 24 hour tv, ipods (walkmans rocked), instant gratification.
