I seen this one and couldn't help but laugh a little, this is so true!

Growing up before smartphones greatly increased your knowledge of health and beauty products at home. ?

And this ad for Commodore made me think of "Puppyfractic". ?

Also, no eating over the computer! haha

Me in the 1980's ...

No way you're gonna sit me behind a Commodore and tell me I have to "pretend" to play a game! Turn that thing on and lets get it done!

In the days before smartphones, some people used to keep magazines or paperback novels (remember print?) in a rack so that there was always reading material within reach.

We used to keep a magazine or two in the restroom. Most of the time there was a computer related one for me and a racing related one for my dad. We had a little rack on the wall to hold them. ?

Though I do remember my mom putting a phone in the restroom as well. Worst .. idea .. ever!  To this day I refuse to answer calls on the loo. haha

Phone calls and potty do NOT mix. If you had a blind friend, would you invite them into the bathroom with you while you go? No? Then don't take me in there with you if we're on the phone.

Phone calls and potty mix as long as no one knows. The blind person probably has a heightened sense of smell and would know that way. ?

To be honest, I don't have a lot of room to talk, we have an Alexa in our restroom, have one in every room but one. House is full of "smart" lights and my wife uses it to play music.

So we went from magazines and newspapers, to phones, to smartphones, to smart drives listening to everything we do. ?

I can't imagine the many fart recordings amazon has collected.
