    It's amazing as a 56 year old how comforting the Theme songs from the 70's and 80's are, as well as watching the shows. I miss the simplicity of being 10.

      I was 14 ish when watching "The Bionic Woman", then "The Incredible Hulk", re-runs of "Lost In Space" 1965-68, the B9 Robot is my fave character! Then, "Six Million Dollar Man" throw in HAL 9000 from "2001: A Space Odyssey".

      And even the silliest of TV shows then still seem better than a lot of them today. This was a time when each episode had only one story, not multiple side stories. That made the stories little bit more complicated. I watched a rerun of Rockford files a while ago and I really had to pay attention.

    I remember having a Bionic Man doll in the 70's. Theres a hole at the back of its head when you look thru it, it passes thru its left eye via telescope lens. Then you lift the rubber skin on its right arm and it reveals the wires of the bionic arm. Very cool toy.

Now we are at the inflection point of another massive wave of technological change, but people are freaking out instead of celebrating.

The band and orchestra combination was FANTASTIC! The violins and violas (possibly also cellos) were performing at almost warp speed along with awesome horns and a seriously smooth bass player.

      I had a similar experience when I was reading an article in a popular science and history magazine. It showed a very vivid image, like colorized B&W photograph of "A martian warmachine destroys an earth gunboat in The War of the Worlds" (cue image taken from Jeff Wayne's fabulous musical version at the time). What was this War of the Worlds that I had never read or heard about before? And it looked like it happened just before or after WWI... It didn't last long but for some time I had a very creepy feeling. Because at the age of 12, I thought I knew all about WWI and WWII but this War of the Worlds?
