In times past, people walked to school or work and went to the drugstore for a soda pop or an ice cream cone. There were no flat-screen TVs, Internet dating, e-mails, text messages, missiles, nuclear bombs or Starbucks. Mom generally stayed home and took care of the kids and Dad would go off to work.
