ciadoncha; ¡cuántos recuerdos - Webpages at SCU - Santa Clara ...

The majority of the participants remember with a lot of nostalgia the hours they
spent next to the radio listening to the stories that they told or to the game. Some still
remember how they were amazed at the fact that they could hear voices of people that
they could not see. Then came the television and although some resisted having one at
first, today all the elders pass hours in front of this apparatus to distract themselves.

Color television.
Some participants remember how they would sew their children’s clothes by hand
and how girls would learn to sew at a very young age. One commented to me that she
had made a robe for her mother when she was eleven years old. She had to make the
whole thing by hand because in those times there were no sewing machines. Other
participants have a pleasing memory of their mother sewing with a machine with pedals
and today, although they are not used as much for sewing clothes that is worn, there are
many women that have electric sewing machines to make curtains or large house
projects.
