It’s been a while since Matt Novak of the excellent Paleofuture last updated his scrap blog, Older Than Me, but it still pays visiting it once in a while. Among the last additions, I just descovered these gems, which only prove how times change. Used to be a time when a standardized emergeny number was a novelty, when girls got married because of white teeth and athletes smoked Camels… I wonder which aspects of our daily lives, which we take for granted, will seem incomprehensible or simply stupid to our grandchildren…
(Thanks to Lyle Tucker for pointing these out to me)
