Carousel of Progress!

It was great to see the C of P again. I remember it as a young kid visiting DL, but it was soon replaced by America Sings, and now Innovations. While I haven't seen anything still at DL from the C o P, I have seen the America Sings birds in Splash Mountain. Anyway, this was the second scene, they just got electric lights and with the advent of the automatic wringer, laundry only takes 8 hours instead of days.

Will our kids believe that we didn't grow up with color TV, microwaves, and computers when we were kids? I started college with a IBM Selectric Typewriter! Did you know that the keys for typewriters were placed where they are so that most words would use alternate sides of the keyboard to keep the hammers from getting stuck. We didn't even have the internet until after we were married! How did we live? Posted by Picasa
