Portable Smoke Detector That one of you all lived in the coming abouts first one of these inventions? If so ...? Polio Vaccine My mother was the first one in our neighborhood to get a microwave, actually it was called Amana Radar Range. We did all sorts of comments about life as the Jetsons. The mothers of all the neighbors had come and the warmth of a cup of water for a beautiful (yucky) cup of instant Sanka. She paid about $ 800.00 for her. In fact, it lasted almost 20 years before it is put to pasture. I'm not sure but think it was in the early 1970s. Grandma here .... vacine polio, my older brother had a mild case of polio. It is72 now I'm 60 and had the vacine as a child. It was a gunshot. refrigerator when I was a kid, it was an icebox you put ice in store butter, milk, perishables and my still-but not being used All except the refrigerator. I am one of the first electronic computers all this as a high school diploma. It cost nearly $ 200. (The bread was 25 cents a loaf and gasoline at 30 cents a gallon!), I bought a microwave and a hot plate for one of the first houses my new wife and I rented because it did not cook. I think I paid about 400 MW for it and it would barely hold a plate. I am 39 and I remember going out to microwave first time when I was about 10. All other things were before me, I think. all except the fridge ... my mother contracted polio and died the same year the vaccine against polio was released ... Guess adults were more concerned about children and didn't think to themselves ... She was 28 ... I remember all to come, but the refrigerator. They have all made life more convenient. I also remember the refrigerator first time my mother bought for my grandmother. It still works, my sister, she and they use it to keep their beer cold. It is more than 60 years now.
