I remember a lot of those things mentioned... And I don't think I saw a color TV until I was in the Marines, but I was always intrigued when the family sat to watch one of our regular shows on our B&W TV...
The announcer came on and boldly said, "The FBI... In Color"
It was probably in the 80's when I finally knew that the Wizard of Oz was partly in color, and partly in Black and White.
I also remember hand written report cards where the comments weren't just the instructor selecting from a list.
Remember when downtown areas were the hubs of activity, before everyone started shopping at malls?
I remember getting my first library card, and then walking the 2 miles to the library to check out books. It was nothing but a wallet sized slip of paper with a number and my name on it, but it was so cool waiting for the librarian to type it up.
