Buggy Whips and VHS rewinders

Who remembers these places:


Time once was when we would make monthly trips to drop off a roll or two of film and wait a week or so for it to get developed and returned. The time between taking the pictures and getting them back could be weeks (or months if you forgot a roll in the camera). Then, once we got the pictures back we'd stick them in an album and look at them on rainy days or holidays.
Fast forward to today and we're all running mini development labs on our PC's. As I work to cleanup and edit pictures I took 25 years ago I wonder what the 1980 me would think of the 2007 me. Even more, what will the 2027 me be doing that we can't even imagine today (hopefully not pushing up the daisies :)
