Kid told me that he just watched "some crazy old movie" about how a kid hacked into NORAD.

I swear my kid thinks we were all hand starting our Ford Model-Ts before 2012 (his birthday).

Kinda like I perceive the 70s I guess. The dark ages, the before time before I existed.

I was born in the 70s. :(

Completely off topic to the thread, but you just reminded me of a time I snuck onto a movie set and got to actually do that. I posed as a driver for the car company and got to start/drive one of those bad boys with the hand crank. Inside was all switches too which was wild. The most uncomfortable ride of my life.

My kids are convinced that we didn't have cars when I was a kid. I was explaining to them what the before GPS times were like.

I remember time before time existed, on cold winter mornings we'd gather around in front of our Model T and turned that crank just below the grill.
Back then we also had to crank-watch television in black and white, uphill, backwards both ways, during snowstorms... just to get to bed.

The dark time before time existed.
