Grade 5 Camden Primary School, 3 classes crammed in to one to watch the moon landing. Miss Green was the teacher. Our generation has seen some pretty amazing stuff. 
Aint that the truth Pa :Y:
I was born in 1961 and when I was a kid we had a briquette hot water service and heater, I saw mum go from a wringer ( finger crusher) washing machine to a twin tub.
Telphones were dial up, not that we had one when I lived at home.
Then they went to push button and even cordless.
When the 1st mobile phones came in they were commenly called a brick (look it up and you will understand).
Video players then dvd players ,
Cassette tape players then cds.
Now everything is digital.
Microwave ovens.
How the heck do you cook things without a flame or an element?
Don't even start me on televisins and computors.
I think that my mind just exploded :bomb:

My 1st wife worked for 3UZ Radio in Melb. A few times I carried a "brick" plus lead acid battery pack around town with the Fire Brigade doing reports on where fire occurences happen, in Charity clothes bins, and alleyways etc.
My first and only time in a Metro Fire Truck, but I did do a bit around the CFA in Panton Hill and Whittlesea at the time with the PMG working on fire reporting systems.

Got a bit heavy after a few hours!!!!
I my first phone just after the gun buyback in 1996 I got some money back from my 1200 Winchester pump action 12 guage. I really liked that gun....anyway I had my own painting business so I bought a mobile with the money and my first wife said it was a waist of money because not many people will use them ! I went for the hand held because I didn't want to lug a bag phone around while I was painting. Wish I had kept it now.
