The modern American typically owns:
* one or more color television sets,
* an electric hair dryer,
* an electronic calculator,
* a tape recorder and a record player,
* a clothes-washer and dryer,
* a vacuum cleaner,
* a powered lawn mower (for cutting grass),
* a refrigerator, a stove, and a dishwasher,
* one or more automobiles,
* and a telephone. Many also own a personal computer.
When was this written, do you think? "A tape recorder and a record player?"
How pre-postmodern.
