When I was your age I had to crank the windows open or closed, and don't get me started on wing vents (windows)!
Pal of mine, if back in the days of crank windows and wing vents you were the age I am today, you'd very likely be dust by now.

I get your point, though. The '64 T-Bird we owned back in the late '70s had power windows. I'd never seen such a thing - such luxury was almost unimaginable!
My point was not that luxuries shouldn't be enjoyed- it was that they shouldn't be taken for granted. I truly believe it would do our society a lot of good to have some of the luxuries we currently enjoy taken away, if only because it might teach us to better appreciate them.
