The article shares nostalgic reflections and examples of things that younger generations may not realize didn't exist in the past. People mention video calls resembling sci-fi elements and the introduction of smart watches akin to Star Trek communicators. Societal progress is highlighted, emphasizing how women's rights, including voting and financial independence, have evolved. Additionally, memories of purchasing penny candy in unwrapped forms from stores illustrate simpler times that differ significantly from contemporary experiences.
Video calls - talking face-to-face over a screen for the first time felt like sci-fi. Oh, and smart watches; they so remind me of the Star Trek communicators!
When my grandmother was a kid, women couldn't vote. When I was a kid, Mom couldn't have a bank account or credit card in her own name. All that progress, and now they're trying to take it away.
I remember when I was younger, we would go to a store called Holton's or Larson's, and we would get penny candy. The candy would not be wrapped, and we would select the candy that we wanted.
