I'll give you the exploding sneakers but identity theft just took a different form, i.e. "found cheques " cashed at some unsuspecting merchant, technology has allowed us to be more efficient at these endeavours but to say they did not exist........ Pedophiles were around back then people just didn't talk about it look at the numerous Priest scandals for evidence of that and I don't think all the perverts joined the church so when they told you to be careful of uncle Fred that is what was meant. Good old days may have had some things that were better but in general I prefer todays world.
