Haha, yes! We didn't grow up with cell phones or pagers. Eventually, yeah, but they weren't as widespread as they are today. I didn't come out of the womb and handed a cell phone or an ipad. We didn't even have a personal computer in our home until I was maybe eight or nine. I just used the ones in the school.
Things I experienced that kids these days won't:
-VHS/cassette tapes
-Going to a store to get your film developed
-Dial-up internet
-Inability to go online because someone was on the god damn phone xD
-Having to use a dictionary (physical book) to look up words--gasp!
-TV Guide
-Going to the arcade
-Actually watching music videos on MTV
-Using a phonebook
-Not knowing who is calling
-Wearing a watch not just for fashion
-Memorizing phone numbers
-The walkman
And more!

Also playing outside, not owning a single electronic gaming device and just enjoying life without my eyes being glued to some screen.
