How the world has changed in 35 years

As I look back on my life it is changed a lot from the time 1 was 10 till now.

Computers in every house not even a pipe dream cell phones what were they.  We had a rotary phone yes the one you dialed by spinning it in a circle.  Call Display or Speed Dial not an option.  In order to remember a phone number you needed to memorize it or you had in a phone book or paper Rolodex.  The electronic ones didn't exist and the smartphone what was that. Now with Cell phones there is no need for a land line we have eliminated ours as have many other people.  The phone instead of hanging on the wall now stores our life and connects us to the world and our friends.
It is at our sides all the time it is part of us.

My music collection consisted of Records heck tapes were just being conceived little alone the thought of having your music collection on an IPOD or MP3 player.  There was not even a Sony Walkman.  Now you have more music on your computer or in or IPOD or MP3 player than can you listen  to in a lifetime.

The Computer was only a simple calculator I was around 10 when we got the VIC 20 yes a commodore I remember playing Frogger on it for ours and running simple games of a tape drive.
I often think back to this; my phone has 16GB internal memory and 64 GB memory card in it.  The VIC 20 had a whopping 4K of internal ram and a memory expansion card not even a dream.
My phone has roughly the amount of 64 Billion times more storage than my first PC.  I know it is not the exact amount but it puts it in to perspective.

We had a simple tube TV. A flat screen what was that cable with over 400 Channels heck we had an antenna that had a rotator for the antenna to get a whopping 10 channels on a good day. The TV's of Today are insane from what we had as children the colour quality is life like now with HDTV and even 3D.  Heck we now have smart TV's with more computing power than my VIC 20.

We got a VCR when I was about 12 wow it was amazing we could record TV and rent Movies.  Now we have DVD's and Move Collections galore on our PC's that we download from various sites such as ITunes.  Then there is the VCR replacement the PVR with 1 TB and the option to add more storage I have a 2TB External drive plugged in to ours for a told of 3TB of storage.  No need to erase the tape anymore.  You can record a whole season and then have a marathon.  You can even record 10 items at once. That wasn't even conceived of when I was a kid.

This is just a few things as there are many others that have changed and I am just wondering what my Mattis and Felix will have when they are my age.  It just scares me or does it intrigue me.
