A the title says but here are the details....
You must be 55 or older to answer these questions.
For the year of 1969 I present these questions...
Can you tell me if you ever saw a computer - let's say at the hospital or the department store? If you did see it - what did you see it do? What kind of computing? Or maybe you saw one in the office - what did it do? What was it used for?
Can you tell me if there was cable TV available? If not - was it just TV antennas used for reception? Can you elaborate a little - did storms interfere? Also - did you have a color TV? Maybe your friends or neighbors had one? IF you did have cable TV available did it just serve your town or was it countrywide?
Did you ever see a Camcorder? How big was it? How heavy was it?
Have you ever seen a News reporter in the street covering a story? If yes - how big was the camera and could teh camera man strap it or put it on his shoulder?
Were there any cell phones or satellite phones? Or maybe super long distance walkie talkies?
I am extremely curious about this period and I am tired of reading internet and second hand experiences and textbook answers.
I really want to hear from the persons that lived through it. I believe your testimony is the best resource for the answers to my questions. I mean - you lived through it!
