I certainly recall the year 1974. I too vividly remember when there was no such thing as a personal computer or cell phone…(except in old Jetson cartoons and Star Trek!) – I never used a computer in high school nor college as all of my assignments were either handwritten, or completed on a manual typewriter at the kitchen table. I was so happy when my parents finally purchased an ‘electric’ typewriter! Thanks for the video, it was a pleasant recollection of a bygone era.
