I am a 50s child, many things have changed here are some, what has changed since you were a kid

 


Many things have changed since 1952, and some of the things that existed when you were a child no longer exist today. Here are a few examples:

  • Pay phones: Pay phones were once ubiquitous, and you could find them on almost every corner. Today, they are much rarer, as most people use their cellphones to make calls.
  • Analog television: Analog television was the standard for many years, but it was eventually replaced by digital television in the early 2000s. Digital television offers a clearer picture and more channels, and it is also more resistant to interference.
  • Encyclopedias: Encyclopedias were once the go-to source for information, but they have been largely replaced by the internet. The internet is a vast resource of information, and it is much more up-to-date than any encyclopedia could be.
  • Pagers: Pagers were once a popular way to stay in touch with people, but they have been largely replaced by cellphones. Cellphones can do everything that pagers could do, and they can also make calls, send text messages, and access the internet.
  • Floppy disks: Floppy disks were once the standard way to store data on computers, but they have been largely replaced by USB drives and cloud storage. USB drives are much smaller and more portable than floppy disks, and they can store much more data. Cloud storage is an even more convenient option, as it allows you to access your data from anywhere in the world.
  • Video rental stores: Video rental stores were once very popular, but they have all but disappeared in recent years. With the rise of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, there is no longer a need to rent DVDs from a physical store.

These are just a few examples of things that existed when you were a child that no longer exist today. The world is constantly changing, and it is interesting to see how things have evolved over time.

Day to Day events

Spring time

  The sun awakes in a sleepy stretch,  Yawning warmth on a winter's wretch.  Birdsong flutters on the breeze,  Waking trees from slumber...
