If we had #Hashtags in the 1980's, they might look like this...

Ahhh the 1980's - a different time to grow up, when John Hughes was making hilarious movies, technology and pop culture were just blowing up, and we were told to go outside and not come back until dinner.  Things certainly have changed, but for those of us born in the 70's or early 80's, it will be a time to look back fondly and say..."What the hell were we thinking wearing THAT?!!!"  

These days kids are all Twittercized and everyone talks through social media, so it got me to thinking...what if we had #hashtags growing up in the 1980's?
