During a lesson on information resources like dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, etc.

Mrs. B: What do we use now that can replace all these books?

Class: The internet!

Mrs. B: Right! But when I was in third grade, we didn't have the internet. We didn't even have computers. We only had three channels on t.v. We didn't have cell phones or DVD players or microwave ovens! Can you imagine?

Joey: Did you have cars?

Mrs. B: No, we just rode to school on our dinosaurs.
