You missed one of the most obvious ones which was accessing porn. If you wanted to have a wank before the internet era, your options were your imagination, the Argos catalogue underwear section or a discarded magazine/friend's dad's videos. You really had to earn your wanks. But guys now can just fire up the smartphone and access a plethora of explicit HQ material.

Cos I'm a good Irish Catholic boy. What are these "wanks" of which you speak?

Haha. Yeah, the internet is like having a subscription to every magazine that used to line the smut shops in Times Square.
You know, I’ve never been to Times Square since they cleaned it up.

Oh man! I forgot top shelf magazines in newsagents. Not even adult mags any more now, nobody wants them.

Don't you know anything? Back in the day, phone boxes would keep communication open by calling to each other across vast distances. These mating calls were known as "Phone calls".

No ads for prescriptions (In America) and no commercials right after by lawyers cashing in on a class action lawsuit against the drug manufacturer who made the previous commercial.

Yeh, lawyer ads in general: had an accident at work? Mis-sold a PPI? **** off you bloodsucking ****s.

Good growth of muscle and bone structure starts at early ages, and if you don't build a solid foundation for a healthy lifestyle early on, you'll have a synergistic effect as time goes on and you grow older. Atrophy sets in quicker and you're more prone to disease and illnesses. The "play for an hour a day" campaign is a good idea and a kind of compromise to meet children in the middle with all the options set before them with today's technology, but imho kids need more exercise than just an hour. Basically, what I'm trying to say is: Gtfo the house ya little brats.

That's true. When I was a kid the only thing that might make us couch potatoes would have been the Saturday Morning cartoons (do they still exist?). In the afternoon we had to actually socialize. Usually we'd ride bikes or play baseball, football, etc. You don't seem to see a lot of that anymore.

Oh man yes. When you actually had to get up to change the channel. And anyone remember getting your new TV and having to tune in all the channels?
