      His choice of time period makes me feel really, really old. Then I remember that the early 1990s were nearly 30 years ago and that I am now really, really old.👴🏻https://twitter.com/profmusgrave/status/1341936113032822787 …

      What’s something ubiquitous about the past, like the early 1990s, that stands out as something hard to convey to young folks today? My choice is the ubiquity of smoking.

      My age established, I’ll point out that when I was a teenager in the late 1970s I was frequently away from home with my friends for hours and my parents had no way of calling or reaching me. They just had to trust me or not let me out.

          I could also point out that when I was in college in the early 1980s, even though I went to U. of M. in Ann Arbor, only around 30 miles away from my parents, phone calls home were toll calls and cost 25c a minute at peak times (before 10 PM, IIRC). We were in the same area code.

          We had a phone card to use if anything necessitated a pay phone call home while out

          A friend wrote a book called "One False Move: A study of children's independent mobility". It profoundly affected how we brought up our children. Yes, I died a thousand deaths for every minute they were late. But one is now an army officer and the other a lab technician.
