Things our children will never know...

Ok, this thread comes out of a conversation a friend and I were sharing over a beer recently. We were thinking of things that we had experienced in our lives that our children will never know, for example, listening to music on cassette tape, watching VCR movies, a world before the internet existed etc.

Some were nostalgic, some were plain stupid, like in the UK they famously used to wrap fish and chips in Newspaper, but not anymore!

So I was just wondering if anyone had any good ones to add to the list?

Listening to sports on the radio more than watching on TV. Used to be that your team would only be on TV maybe a couple of times a year. Now ESPN and all have us spoiled.
