I had an earth science teacher that would let us bring in one 3X5 card of notes for our tests, and I would spend an hour or so transcribing all my notes into small print front and back, then go in and ace the test without ever needing them. Just recopying it all was enough.

CT scans every 4 months... probably gonna get another nodule in my left lung nuked at some point. Hoping maybe the distended aorta that showed in my last scan takes me out quick so I can bypass all the misery of my advancing emphysema or the lung cancer possibly spreading. Aside from that, I'm just going to enjoy my family. Got three grandkids that are a real hoot right now. Counting my blessings is pretty much the priority...
Several years ago, before we got the transmitter-type meters, they would sometimes estimate our usage. We didn't know that until after several months of estimates they came out and actually read it. Apparently, their previous estimates were all low, and suddenly we were hit with a $900+ bill to catch us back up. That sucked. I also remember meeting one of the readers who was going house to house. Our next-door-neighbor's house is completely fenced in, so the reader would come down our driveway and read our meter, then use a pair of binoculars to read the neighbors meter from our yard.
Without mentioning smartphones or social media, what societal changes have you noticed over the course of your lifetime?
