Ahh...The Good Old Days

BRISTOL, ENGLAND – OCTOBER 14: A record dealer in Wanted Records in St Nicholas Market puts on a vinyl record on the shop’s turntable on October 14, 2015 in Bristol, England. Although sales of vinyl records declined dramatically with the introduction of digital formats such as CDs and downloads it is now seen as a premium product and sales this year in the UK of newly pressed LP records on vinyl are expected to top 2million double what they were in 2014.

3. Recording favorite TV shows on a VCR.
4. Having printed photos around the house in frames.
5. The excitement of seeing how the photos from a roll of film turned out.

So it appears as much as we like taking selfies, we miss the good old days when snapping a photo didn't involve instant gratification.
