Watching a film in school meant 'watching a film'. Setting up that bulky projector, threading the film, and the operator would have to sit close by for when it fucked up.

Pocket calculators would barely fit in your pocket and cost $200. (and not even a square root key)

Diagnosing and fixing car problems could be done by a shade tree mechanic
and wouldn't ruin you financially.

TV was your local ABC, CBS, & NBC affiliates and a few local stations within reception range of your antenna.

Every place of business was closed on New Years Day, President's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4 (U.S. Independence Day), Labor Day, Thanksgiving, & Christmas.
Now those money hungry retailers don't observe any holidays except Christmas. :(

And computers? Well, if you were extremely rich and had a very large room...
