Oh and btw we had cable TV that came with a wired, sliding remote control back in the 70s...

Yup, we had a similar cable 'remote' in the '70s. It was in the house when we first got there and my father discovered that the four things he wanted to spend what little money we had on were beer, TV, golf, and beer. And women, but I didn't find that out until later on.

In fact our remote had a rocket switch that got you to a second level of channels. Only half of the second tier channels had anything on them, but they were there. The town I live in (then called Bramalea, which later amalgamated with Brampton) was a model community, that had the latest in 1970s technology installed. Hell, we even had street lights that no one had to flip a switch or set a timer for!

CD players didn't hit the general market until I was in college. Then they cost around $500.00. I only knew one rich kid who had one.

Doctors and lawyers had pagers. Not much of anyone else did.

The gaming box that I got to play a few times, back then, had both Pong and a skeet shooting game.

I didn't see a microwave oven until I was 13. That was around the time that we also got a colour TV.

The vast majority of people didn't start using it until like 95 or so. As for pagers, jigga please, that doesn't even compare to texting. And cellphones, sure you could have had a Motorola flip-phone back in 93, but how much did it cost, $500? Back then like only 5% of people my age had a cellphone. And fuel injection? LMAO, in the early 80's most fuel injection systems were less reliable than carbs.

my parents did for one. My dad used to surf bbs boards on his original ibm pc loong before most people even heard of that shit. We had a ti 99 4/a also which served for video games and programming until 1986 rolled around and we got nintendo. And im pretty sure the us atomic clock is backed up by a dodge 2.5 with throttle body injection.
