Why, In MY Day...

Speaking of generational divisions, here are a few things that have been invented just since I joined the planet:

• battery-operated watches / digital watches
  
• pocket calculators
• blow dryers
• electric toothbrushes
• microwave ovens
• cassette tape players/recorders
• compact disk (CD) players/recorders
• DVD players/recorders
• anti-lock brakes
• frost-free freezers
• personal computers 
• self-cleaning ovens
• cell phones
• You Are Here: the internet 

(I didn't include medical advances, which would be a huge list on its own.)

I'm sure I've forgotten many. They are mostly designed to save time or make life easier. Have they?
