I am an Inupiaq, Eskimo, pushing 63.
And the first and only piece of electronics I was aware of was a battery operated, wind charged,Hallicrafter radio. The battery was like a couple inches wide by 3 to 4 inches tall and like 6 to 8 inches long. Dad had a copper wire stretched east to west on the end of posts on the roof. And I remember short wave broadcasts from all over the world plus am radio, KICY radio, armed forces radio and the most intriguing radio static ever imaginable! There was no electricity at our village, each house was heated by wood stoves and cooking was done with wood also. Some houses had brand spanking new oil stoves for heating AND cooking! Wow! Warm and so easy to cook on. Honest.
No video games but lots of real games like miachi (eskimo baseball), mona-mona, translated to american english- hide and seek game, moacq-no smiling staring game, mock hunting and fishing, and so many more games people played alone, together or in groups.
Nobody had an inkling of computers and the only pic i saw was in Life magazine.
The biggest tech innovation was the dizzying array of newer and faster and most cooler looking high wing-single engine mail and passenger and freight planes that landed once a week or so on the beach and out on the Bering Sea once the sea froze up and there was a good long stretch of flat ice for the planes to land on, sometimes miles from our village.
I never imagined microwave cooking, synthetic materials for aircraft, handguns.
And I will not comment on computers as my first was given to me by my brother
And technology has changed so much since I was a kid.
Oil fired stoves are much more efficient for heating and cooking. Aircraft-you can see what is available now...all Buck Rogerish ! And the cars, trucks, snow machines, motorcycles, bicycles.
Firearms look the same on the outside, but on the details, holly cow! much better steels, manufacturing techniques, better reliability, accuracy, usefulness and utility.
And communicating was by speaking or letters or going to whoever you wanted to speak with. There were corded rotary phones, then digital and now cordless and cell. Early cell phones were larger then vhf radios and now are pocket size and even have cameras, internet, apps and lotsa stuff I do not understand. (all the extra tuff is kinds-sorta useless me not understanding their use...) Shoes are now much more comfortable. I just love my Nubalance walkers, breathable and water proof to boot! (Pun intended!)
Technology has changed, much for the better. Some of the old things, technology are far superior though, one area freezing temperatures to extreme cold weather. As long as the old technology is still available for understanding and use, I see new becoming more useful and commonplace. And the old technology has to be available...just in case.
