4. The computers in use would fascincate me...when I took an intro class

in high school, you had to literally DIAL IN and place the phone headset into a cradle to connect to the big 'puter at the local college, and it was all about writing shit like "run this" and "kill that" and it was HORRIBLE!
SO not user-friendly!

The cell phone thing is odd too...
Hell, my grandkids are 10 and 11 and they each have their own...

I'd also be disgusted to wake up and find that we have made SO little progress, relatively speaking, towards less dependence on petroleum products and towards more renewable energy.
