@gjc82071 I was born in the late 90's, and I agree. Today's electronics suck. The first game I ever played? Missile Command. My mom bought an Atari Plug In And Play DTV system for me when I was like 6. And now I have a real woodgrain Atari 2600, an NES, and a Commodore 64 (which needs repair). I have a Walkman, I still use VHS. Today needs to be more like the 80's.

Ban current modern technology! Reset the clock back to around 1983. We'd need of course, a new government agency. The F.B.T.E. (Fed. Bureau of Tech. Enforcement) They'd go around collecting modern PC's & replace them with C64, TI99, Atari 800, etc. Replaced iPods w/ SONY Walkman, DVD w/ VHS, CD w/ either Cassette or 8 track. Bring back "The Brick" cell phones (& 1$ a min rates) so they're less fashionable. & No more 24/7 TV!  Bring back Sign-Offs & Sat. morning cartoons. Can't I dream? ;o)
