No changes for me. I love my modern conveniences.

Try dialing 911 on a rotary phone! Yuk. Party lines were also known as gossip lines...but phones were used much less in those days so maybe it wasn't so bad.

I would never would want a wringer washer. My Mom had one when we were kids. Call me spoiled, but from observation I could see it was a LOT of work! My brother and cousin - both about 4 - ran their arms through the wringer. No breaks but bruising and sore for awhile. I heard about that scary moment for a long time. And hanging clothes to dry on the line during the winter was HE!!.

My kids, now in their 40's, used cloth diapers because the "paper" diapers were so scented and filled with powder that they got terrible rashes from them.
