-Pre-flatscreen Televisions. I don't wish I had one, but I would visit somebody who had one, just for the nostalgia. I also think they look more unique in some ways. Flat screens TVs look like big living paintings, not that it bothers me, lol. I probably sound 85 years old here.

-TELETEXT. Not sure how many countries used this. I'm not talking about tv subtitles, but text information pages, you could access through your remote control. You could look up things like News, Live sports scores, tv-guides, etc. Almost Similar to online newspapers. It would look like this: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQAUhEWp4SopX3Xy4nZwxaLKIBAQs9iBFy_bZgwBGE8QYvmno3m

-Indoor smoking. I don't smoke, but I kind of miss to never smell smoke inside, even though id rather keep the ban of course. I know the ban is not worldwide, but I can't really travel far away just to experience this. I would like to go to to a crowded bar with no indoor smoking ban someday.

-I don't necessarily miss old television sets, but I hate how they feel it's necessary to crop the image of old tv shows to change the aspect ratio.

-It was really handy and gave a more clear overview than looking everything up online.

-Nope. I hate smoking.

"Larry, did you see me in the shower? Chrissy too?"
