I remember walking to kindergarten on my own and being sent home early because JFK had been assassinated.

I remember typing all my college papers on a Smith Corona typewriter because they were no computers yet, graduating from college just prior to the introduction of the PC.

I remember applying to graduate school over 10 years later and my mom (who worked at that time for a nonprofit for disabled children) stating, "What a shame, no one will take these applications seriously because they're printed on a typewriter and not a computer."
