To the OP. Sorry, man. I understand that you were trying to discuss technological differences between now and the 50's, and some of the cultural aspects of them. I don't think anybody else does though.
I understood that and I thought I did show some technological differences...I did use a 60s event instead of 50s.
Im well aware of the tech differences, in the 50s when I was in school there were no personal computers or cell phones. There were no copy machines you spun the handle on a mimeopgraph machine or used carbon paper. There were no cordless phones and color tvs werent mainstream, no one I knew had color tv.
