ANSWERS

1.      In the early eighties there was no internet, there was no google, there were no mobile phones and then we spent time with nothing, a ball or a doll depending on the sex, but also with a piece of plaster for drawing a bell, or a skip rope.

2.       To find out the news you had to wait for the only news broadcast in the evening and in order to carry out research it was advisable to go to the library.

3.       Not everyone had the opportunity to afford the telephone at home, so they used a very strange machine that converted coins into tokens and then found a free booth from which to make the call.

4.       Music was played through cassettes or discs.

5.       I remember the invention of the first personal computers, the first mobile phone in history: the motorola,  Rubik's cube was a mania for us kids of the eighties, a fever from which one could not recover, the walkman through which you could listen to music even outside the home, the swatch mania was also widespread

6.       One of the videogames that came out in the eighties and I have an unforgettable memory about it. It was pac-man, others there was frogger, pimbo a sort of pinball machine.

7.       Fashion in the 80s was exaggerated, colorful, rock, punk. We followed the memory fashions such as that of the "paninari" with their flu sweatshirts and boots, other fashion trends  such as darks, metalheads with their jackets, a fashion icon of those times was the singer Madonna who apparently started a shabby style for: ripped tights, extra large t-shirts, very short leather jackets, maxi jewels and exaggerated make-up.

8.       There are dozens of them that deserve: Spielberg's Et, along with Indiana jones, the Empire strikes back, The return of the jedi, The back to the future trilogy, The fleeing moment, Ghostbusters 1 and 2 etc. Etc.

9.      In the eighties we had more fun, there was much more socialization, we played a lot outdoors in short, we tried to change all that today has been buried by social media and the fashion label.

10.   They were years in which we looked to the future with optimism, we thought that the future would be better than the present we lived, from all points of view: economic, social, political, cultural and ideological
