OK, I'm back with another questionnaire that will hopefully start a nice discussion and make people think about how far we've come.
1. What grade did you learn to type in? And have you ever used an ordinary typewriter, whether it was electric or manual?
I learned to type back in 4th grade. We used this Mario typing learning software at school. Yes I got to learn how to use a typewriter. My parents had one that still worked so I got to toy with it.
2. What was your first home video game system and what year did you get it?
The first system that we had was an Atari and SNES that my mom bought. Though the first one that was bought that I can remember was the N64, and I forgot when we got that.
3. What is the oldest car, make and model year, you can remember your family owning?
oldest vehicle I can remember by name+ is my dads 1990 GMC Truck. Though I know we had a buick, but can't name year.
4. Did you ever have first generation My Little Ponies or Transformers? If so, when did you get them?
I have lots of G1 transformers toys that I was given when I was a child (5yrs old)
5. Who was the earliest president, prime minister, governor, head honcho, etc. of your country that you have a first hand memory of?
Earliest president that I can remember is Clinton
6. Do you recall smoking being allowed in workplaces where you live? US members under 20 will generally say no but answers from other countries may vary.
I remember in restaurants having the "smoking" or non-smoking" sections.
7. Did you ever use old-style roller skates instead of roller blades?
I learned (poorly) how to skate using old style skates. But was given roller blades for a christmas gift shortly after.
8. Did you ever use a pre-Windows PC?
yes, though I don't recall ever using it for other than "this is how PCs worked?" moments. (My dad bought one as his first PC)
9. Remember “Be kind, please rewind”?
I remember that
10. Name the first big blockbuster movie you recall watching in a theater that wasn't a re-release.
The only thing I can recall, and I'm not sure if it counts. Is Pokemon The First Movie
