I went to my friend's house and they had a VCR. I actually thought it was real-time TV that they had the ability to fast-forward, and rewind if they'd missed a bit. I was devastated when I realised the truth.
Another friend got Teletext and I was absolutely mystified by the prospect of 'reading' your TV whilst the sound played over it. I thought these gadgets must be worth millions and that my parents would NEVER in a million years be able to afford them. We got them about a year later.
