In my family's house we had one rotary dial phone in the kitchen. If you wanted privacy, you had to drag the phone into my parents' bedroom and close the door.
"Brick" or "bag" car phones -- couldn't put those in a purse.
Using a manual typewriter to type papers in high school and college
We had one black and white TV shared by 5 people until I was 10. And if you missed your TV show, there were no DVR's or watching the show a few days/weeks later on the internet or a cable's "on demand" service.
At my Catholic elementary school, we had lunch tickets that we bought every week, and the lunch ladies would punch the lunch ticket every day that a student bought a hot lunch.
Blackboards and chalk -- do they still exist in elementary or high schools?
Pay phones...not obsolete yet, but will there be any left in 5 years? It's pretty hard to find one now.
