I'd settle for life before smartphones and tons of social media.

+ 1.

Shit I miss.

Being able to walk down the street without some clown on their smartphone walking into me or without seeing someone selfie-ing themselves.
Being able to have a conversation with people who don't constantly check their phones for messages or updates.
Living in Australia
Having no back or elbow pain when I workout
Having no back or elbow pain when I'm not working out
People smiling at you and being friendly, just because it's nice to be friendly
Not worrying about a global jihad
80's version U2
Individual and owner operated stores. Now it's just chain stores everywhere - one place feels much the same as another
BOOKSTORES

I could go on but I've just woken up.

Getting drunk and going to the clubs with my friends in early 20s
Action figures

Living in a semi-rural setting (cows, horses, and large paddocks next to houses, schools, shops, etc.) before developers moved in.
Koalas and wallabies living in the area (nearly all gone now - see above)
Almost everyone in the same area being white and all speaking the same language, and not being from Asia, Africa, or the Middle East
Surfing, before it became popular with "everyone" (foreigners, rich people, clueless wannabes, etc.)
Freedom to be politically incorrect without consequence
Being able to afford to own your own home
Life before social media and smartphones
Commodore 64
Coin operated arcade games at fish and chip shops (there's MAME, but it's not the same)
"Old school" fish and chip shops
80s martial arts movies
70s - 80s australian music
80s wrestling (WWF)
Small corner shops, largely gone due to supermarket duopoly
Actually knowing and talking to neighbours (even just saying "hello")
Unconditional friendships
Being able to enjoy life, instead of constantly thinking and worrying about money

Not comprehensive, but a pretty solid list.

Yes this x 100000000

The only limit to where we could go back then, was the time we needed to be home lol. If you can ride there and ride back in time, we'd do that shit haha. I remember one time, me and a pal rode our shitty little bmx's over 25 miles away to this skate park (riding along the hard shoulder on the motorway for some of it hahaha) and when we got there, the ramps were closed for refurbishment so we just sat in the park, smoked some cigs that we nicked from my nan and rode all the way home lol great times  8) 8) 8)

Not picking on you, boss.  Just thought I'd add my thoughts to the list.

Cool stuff that's now obsolete:

CDs  = Don't miss - Digital Music is better and more convenient
DVDs and Blockbuster  Don't Miss - Digital movies are better and more convenient
Book stores (soon enough) - Don't Miss - LOVE my Kindle.  Books are cheaper without overhead and I can get a book in about 10 seconds
Newspapers (ditto) - Don't miss - iPad is better and can get most of the info from a newspaper in real time
Hang Ten shirts
Pete's Wicked Ale - Agree - was great when it debuted.
Original Hot Stuff - Would never take now, so don't miss
Lasorda's Dodgers
Great running backs
Showtime Lakers
$2.00 blackjack tables - Don't miss - low end tables suck and are over crowed - yes snobby here....  ;D
Miller's Outpost
Tower Records
Original Mtv - This was cool
Bruce Lee's pre-MMA mystique
Disneyland's Inner Space and Country Bear Jamboree - Country bear jamoree sucks.
Marineland (Palos Verdes, CA)
KNAC (L.A. metal radio)
80s Sunset Strip (ground \m/ \m/ zero)
Abba-Zaba bars
Cold War excitement
Funny Letterman

And most of all: drive-in theaters  Don't miss.  We have a few by us and they're disgusting

The excitement of obtaining a new full length porn vhs back when Internet porn was the same 5 couple of minute long clips doing the rounds, eagerly awaiting returning home that night to view it.

Being 17/18 driving around in a ragged xr3i with my mates picking up slags and driving around till 4 am in the morning.

The local pub/club scene before it died off.

My local top club before it closed.

My local nightclub before it was torn down 10 year ago and replaced with a block of flats that ain't even half sold yet(great times in that place)

That summer that McDonald's cheese burgers were 2 for £1 and didn't taste like utter shit.

Lads holidays before I had kids

Years 16 through 22 not a care in the world, hanging out with mates all day every day, only worry was where to go out that weekend.

Kind of a version of horseshoes but you have a circle and you try throw 3 metal spikes with little wings on it into the circle.

...for some reason it was considered dangerous and banned it ;D

Book stores (soon enough) Don't Miss - LOVE my Kindle. Books are cheaper without overhead and I can get a book in about 10 seconds

Newspapers (ditto) - Don't miss - iPad is better and can get most of the info from a newspaper in real time

Why do you hate paper, sir?

Disneyland's Country Bear Jamboree - Country bear jamoree sucks.

Have you no soul, Mr. Potter?

And most of all: drive-in theaters  Don't miss. We have a few by us and they're disgusting.

Context for me. High school, double features, cars/freedom, girls, beers, food, double features, even a chess set for dudes without dates. Best of times.

I`m gonna` go way back:

Rotary phones.......the heavy one  that would split a guys skull.

Phone booths

Vinyl records with cool covers and even cooler liner notes

Comic books,before they fucked them up.

Hanging out with my boys from the gym in the toughest club around...........brawls everywhere,but nobody came near us.

Getting young pussy  :(

Saturday morning cartoon shows.......whatever happened to Bugs and Porky/Daffy?

Cheap grindhouse movies where you could see a Bruce Lee flick,followed by Shaft,followed by The Angry Red Planet all for less than a buck with fucking cartoons during intermission............ .every week downtown.

Drive in movies

Working in strip joints.......I got beau coup pussy plus lots of cash from dancers who basically kept me high and gave me cash,etc. etc.

Being broke when I left the house and coming back with a pocket full of money,pussy,and a ride even though I had no car.

Training with my cousins when we moved to Port St. Lucie Florida.........finally got sober and started competing again.


Todays technology is not for me........strictly old school.

Being able to keep your doors unlocked at night without fear of repercussions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and I lived in the ghetto.

There`s a lot more good stuff but I could go on for days.

My childhood friends.

They all live cross country and I rarely see them but met up a few weeks back and had a blast.  I become a completely different person.  Just a goofball with them.  Life doesn't seem that serious or stressful, but I guess if I lived near them I wouldn't have the money I have now but is it worth it?

I actually ask myself this same thing from time to time.

I'm not really sure of the answer myself.

Yes x 1000

I was cleaning out my dad's house today and found some old toys in the basement - the micronauts were fucking awesome - this guy had metal / magnetic parts, solid as shit - and the missiles actually shot small pieces.  Found a bunch of other metal stuff - most pretty ruined though.

I have the black ones, plus all the battery powered robots (Biotron, etc..)  Some of the metal pieces weakened and broke off, but they all still function.
