Thank you sandya, for this article. I was born in 1980 and can definitely relate to this article. We had an Atari when I was little (it's still in my dad's basement), but we also had Tang, a Chevy Nova propped up on cinderblocks in the backyard, and the same giant microwave until the mid 1990s. Cell phones I can take or leave, they felt so intrusive when they first appeared. I read recently that people have lost the ability to memorize phone numbers, and read a map (thanks to smart phones). All best sandya.
