Blow dryers

What did we do without them?? My hair is so unruly that without a hairdryer I'd have to go slap-head... and that sure would not be a pretty sight!  :laugh:

Portable Telephones

Remember when you were tethered to the wall or phone to make a phone call? Remember when you had to hang up to go to the bathroom? (I probably shouldn't admiit that I go the bathroom while talking on the phone, now! LOL)

Remember when phone calls were charged by time and distance?

Digital Cameras

I love this invention. Talk about instant gratification. No more waiting for that roll of film just to find out that none of the pictures you took came out. And the moment is gone forever. With digital, you can't make mistakes. With the nice feature of the viewer, you can just take the picture over and over again till your satisfied, cause you will never run out of film!

 You have no idea how many rolls of film I have found around the house that I never got developed. I can't imagine whats on them. And after two years of using my digital camera, I don't know if i even want to bother having these old rolls developed.
And...
I love the convience of being able to send your family and friends beautiful clear pictures with a click of a button.  Thats what I'm talking about...instant gratification! Love it!

Sepaking of cameras, another invention of our lifetime were the polaroid instant cameras. I remember when they became trendy and everyone had one.

Hey girls.......something we take for granted now.......panti-hose....

I remember wearin stocking to school, with those damn suspender belts...and then the advent of the mini skirt, trying to hide the bit of leg skin above where the stockings ended.......

Of course they are nice to wear as sexy underwear now, but wearing them all the time, was just so uncomfortable......
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
