What technologies did you have growing up?

[Just Hazel]

Would a new rope to pull the well bucket up count?. We also got a new gourd dipper each year.
Actually, a radio, wrist watch and a new jump rope, box of jacks and base ball. I'm old as dirt.

sled, jump rope, football, baseball and bat, badminton rackets and birdies, chalk, mud(for pies), dolls, bikes, paper and crayons, the creek, trees to climb, to just name a few of the things that I grew up with. Technology was what was used to produce these items that lasted from one child passed down to another.

A crystal Set (look that up on Wikipedia or Google) followed by battery or electricity operated radio, followed by black and white T.V. followed by colour T.V.

Electric dry iron followed by electric steam iron. Prior to that irons had to be heated on a fire.

Pressure cooker, electric kettle, toaster (we used to toast bread on the end of a long toasting fork in front of a coal fire and later under the grill of the gas or electric cooker.

Vacuum cleaner - prior to that is was a broom and then a manual carpet sweeper.

Washing machine with wringer but later came twin tubs which were a washer and a spin drier in the same cabinet.

Gas fire - much easier and cleaner than having to make up a coal fire.

House 'phones with dials, then came button 'phones then mobiles which were like house bricks and, therefore, not all that mobile. Prior to housephones we had public 'phone boxes which were usually no more than a couple of hundred yards away for houses so you'd only have to wait until about another 20 people had used it before it became your turn in the queue. We paid for a 3 minute call then had to feed it more money or be cut off. Calls to anywhere outside our own town had to be connected by the operator. Calls abroad often had to be booked in advance and the operator would ring you back once connected.

Electric door bells - prior to those we had brass knockers or bashed the door with our fist.

From reading your question and your list of acquisitions it looks as if, without the invention of the computer, you'd be lost and be incapable of taking part in society.

There is a world out there (without computers) I think that you need to get out there and discover the real world.

May I challenge you to 'try' to live one whole day (24 hours) not using any one of those things you mention in your question and then come back here the day after tomorrow and add an EDIT to your question telling how the day went and what you did?

All we had was a radio, and we did have telephones, but of course, no cell phones. I remember when I was about 5 we got our first black and white TV with rabbit ears. I remember when we got our first color TV in the mid 60's. I will never forget the first TV show I ever saw in color was Bonanza.
My how things have changed. I still don't use facebook or twitter although I have accounts on both, I just never saw the need to use them.
I was born in 1953 if that gives you any idea of "my era".

AM Radio
Black and White TV; 3 channels.
Cars with stick shift. And AM radio.
NO ac, no power anything.
Fast food restaurants started to appear. I remember A&W Root Beer, White Castle, Dairy Queen.'
McDonalds came later. Burger King came much later.
