I have his same age but things were a little different in my home country in Europe:

- No automatic doors in supermarkets. Actually there were no supermarkets, just little shops. - Coffe: we had espresso in every bar/restaurant. - Only one and a half tv channels, no tv in the mornings, no cable of course. - University was free and it's still basically free (small fee) - We had no pizzas, (or cereal for breakfast or burgers)

oh well, too many differences, political and social etc
