Good guess, but just "another era", not a "forgotten" era (grin), which is possibly where/when both your dad and I come from.
We read books, and "painted" the scenes in our minds. We used math to figure our change. It was "addition", not "the co-joining of disjoint discrete sets". We didn't feel the need to show off our underware, and a quarter would buy TWO features at the "movies", or a gallon of gas. Skates clamped onto the soles of our shoes. Priducts were actually made in the USA. Also, you could drink the water in the mountains, and breathe the air without seeing it first.
In this case, the "era" is closer than than those very "good" days of the distant past.
