Rube Goldberg...How to remove the cotton from a bottle of aspirin - Dr. Seuss...The cat in the hat. Vacuum tubes, crt cathode ray tubes, tending a coal furnace to keep the house warm, nothing on tv after midnight except a test pattern, tv antennas poking up from the chimney, antenna rotors, door to door salesmen, cotton diaper service, milkman deliveries right to the house, Friday nights when people walked the streets to pay bills and shop the stores in person, trains stopped at RR crossings for people to get on and off, old cars and trucks had a keyhole in the bumper for the starter crank, 6 volt batteries to start a car, gas and electric meters mounted inside the house, the wall thermostat was a knob that worked a chain on the furnace draft door, grade school and high school were heated with coal, double clutching to shift gears, typewriters with round keys and a ribbon with ink, gas fireplace, gas mantle lights, buying your milk at the local farm, dentist drills that had a belt and pulleys to turn it, falling asleep to the thumping sound of oil well engines, gasoline pumps that you could turn on at the pump, full service gas stations, wet bottle pop dispensers, coin operated doors in the restrooms.
