I'd be willing to wager the "expert" is under 30 in this case [well, ok, perhaps under 40] and thus really doesn't "know" what was possible 30 years ago [being of an age when you generally don't pay attention to things like that] -- one of the more sobering (?) "internet jokes" that circulates every few years is "if your child is graduating today, he or she wouldn't remember..." and goes on to list things like presidents getting shot (at), rotary-dial phones; AUTOMOBILE seat-belts with lever style latches [only found in airplanes and thrill rides nowadays...] and so on.
