Because we (ironically) recorded this technology themed episode using Eve’s plan D, Mercury retrograde headphone mic.  No, we’re not kidding. From the truth about old school TV clickers, to long telephone cord strategies, to why we absolutely refuse to use TikTok now (even though we love Steve Nicks), this funny chat about the innovations that made us will take you wayyyy back. Or at least make you turn your phone off and on again to fix it.   Episode LinksIs mercury retrograde?MacGyver as a verbPew generations & tech trendsThe history of the remote controlA Zenith clickerA brief history of the walkman Why vinyl is making a comeback in 2020Phones (and cords) of the 80sPagers were hip in 1985 Evolution of the cell phoneLori’s first cell phoneGordon Gecko's phone/brick in the 1987 movie, Wall StreetEllen asking younger people to use old techThomas GuidesHow does MapQuest work? The Strand bookstore in NYC Dreams Challenge  TikTok guy Chris's Pug MRI that went viral by Andy RichterConnect with usSubscribe to GenX Stories in your favorite podcast app  Write us a review Visit our site Join our Facebook Group Follow our 80’s inspired Instagram Share your story Send us an email
