I remember every year it was a big event to watch Wizard of Oz on TV because that's the only way you could see it. Sometimes old films would get rereleased.
Now we have the DVD collector's industry. Eventually everything will get released- some way or another.
It's an amazing thing!
On another front- when I was young you didn't spit in public. It just wasn't done. Now there are goobers everywhere I go, and people spitting left and right. It makes me gag.

when i origionally started the thread i was really only thinking of the smaller less obvious changes ... more the things that dissapeared because of the new advancements.
but yeah .. DVD .. (or any format of home theatre for that matter)
and MP3s are another huge one ..
and the walkman ... i still remember hearing my 1st walkman (when the only alternative for portable music was a transister radio - or a car radio - and they sounded like shit !)
when my friend let me try his walkman it blew me right out of the wayer ..
i'll never own an ipod simply because at my stage of life i never have the opportunity to wear headphones... cant do it at work - cant do it at home .. cant do it at sports ...
if i was a kid now - and had a tiny device that could hold 60 gigs of music .. i'd frigging love it.
