You guys from the 80's don't know how good you had it !!!! 
How about no television. How about no kind of video games at all. If you wanted to play music you either turned the radio on or hand cranked the Victrola. If you wanted water you had to walk to the well to get it. If you had to take a dump in the middle of the night it could get pretty spooky for a kid going outside and walking to the outhouse. If you wanted to take a bath (or just wash) you had to heat the water up on the stove. In the winter you had to go out and shovel coal for the one stove that heated the whole house. When the phone rang you didn't even know if it was for you until you heard the complete ring cycle as you were on a party line. You had to hand crank your grand dads car to get it started.
And the worst thing of all is you had to kick over your Harley to get it started !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
