We still don't have milk or mail delivery. Still go to the post office every day to check mail every day.

Up until 10 years ago, we still had party lines that we only dialed 3 numbers for.

Still have truck without turn signals, and a Harley with hand shift, foot clutch and left hand throttle, with manual spark advance. Also no turn signals.

Here's a couple more. Anyone remember air starters on Semis? Or vacuum windshield wipers? Car radios that had to warm up?

Only one on the list I don't remember was Howdy Doody. I spent part of my youth in Germany, we had a coal stove and milk was still unpasteurized and unhomogenized, but they had daily beer delivery! They were decades ahead of us in some respects!
