I didn't even know they had TV in 1938. The first ones I saw when I lived in the country were in the 50's. I was a young teenager then. I have seen a lot of things come to pass myself but not as many as you have. I think a lot about my parents coming from the days of the horse and buggy or wagon to the car stage. They went courting in a wagon with a horse or horses pulling it.

I may be more than 20 yrs younger than you, but I remember the drive-in's before the car speakers. There was one a couple of miles down the road from us and when the wind was blowing in our direction we could hear the movie dialoge as we laid in our beds. (In my case, my crib...I think I was about 5 or 6.) Yes, people watched from the road across from the entrance. It didn't take long for them to stop the practice with the car speakers.
