Sorry, yes, I know that. However, what I was trying to say was that they didn't dream of the extent/specific implementation of what we do with those things today. In 1965, the percentage of people with bachelor's degrees was the same as the percentage with master's degrees today. Obviously, people didn't go out to eat nearly as much, and they saw relatively few movies. The entire household shared a phone, and, even for a private line, the total bill was something like $40/month in today's dollars. So yeah, my point was that we have a crazy luxurious lifestyle, in comparison, to 50 years ago, in the extent and way that we use these things.
