  C:

John: Hi, Victor!

Victor: Hi there, John! What's new?

John: I was just about to watch this video dad got in the mail! It's an anthology of clips from TV shows in the 1950's!

Victor: Oh, wow! Ancient history!

(On the TV screen, the host is interviewing a professor.)

Host: Professor, do you foresee13 man going into space?

Professor: No. The radiation from the sun would kill them when they left the atmosphere and at a speed of 4,000 MPH, it'd take 99 years to reach Pluto 1!

John: Boy! They didn't have a clue then!

Victor: And the use of the word "man" was sexist!

Host: Say, son, you really can sing! How much do you earn driving a truck?

Interviewee: $16 a week, sir.

Host: $16 a week? How would you like to earn $50 a week?

Interviewee: $50 a week? Yes, sir!

John: Did people really earn that little then?

Victor: I guess so!

Host: Could you explain what all these circuit boards, relays and vacuum tubes are?

Interviewee: Certainly! This is a "Thinking Machine"! It stores data in its memory! How big is this contraption? It takes up three warehouses 2!

John: Look, Victor! A primitive 3 computer!

Victor: Oh, wow! It's humongous! Now, through miniaturization, you can carry all that in your hand!

John: In those days there was no coast-to-coast cable or satellites or even morning TV! They didn't have color TV or videotape. These were copied from films!

Victor: Wow! It's amazing what a totally different world it was! Everything's changed!

(John's Father walks in and talks to himself.)

John's Father: Today's young people have no respect for anything! They dress in sloppy 4 clothing and dance to noise that they call music!
