Talking About Grandfather Clocks, Yo-Yos, and Wet Signatures

GamerDude is stepping back into the way-back machine this week and revisiting some more things that used to exist that have just faded away from our lives. He was inspired by memories of his grandmother's Grandfather Clock, and how he remembers those big clocks being a fixture in so many homes. He remembers tube TVs, and all the controls for vertical and horizontal holds, and for color and tint. He remember how waterbeds were a big fad for awhile, and how yo-yos were the fidget spinner of his youth.GamerDude also remembers a variety of toys, from the toys you'd get in the cereal box, to the hefty Tonka trucks he'd play with in the sandbox. He also remembers getting records that were actually part of the cereal box, and being able to play them on a standard record player.GamerDude also has some predictions for things that are likely to disappear in the next 10 years. He talks about how keys are becoming less necessary, as are actual "pen and paper" (wet) signatures. And, he talks about how "knowing our neighbors" also seems to be becoming a thing of the past.
