My school teacher uncle gave me a radio built on a piece of cardboard. It had an earphone and no battery. You attached alligator clips to a bedframe and it could pick up AM.

That's still being considered high tech, today... even if somewhat refined by now, spooks rely on it, as for key-loggers, etc.
Of course, no-one was carrying their personally sanctified bugs (like smartphones, tv's, alexa, sonos, wifi light-bulbs, etc.) with them, back then, haha.
I just might be getting old.

....your teeth start falling out, and getting on top of the old lady isn't so much fun as dire work. It usually comes to be realized, after a decade or two of deluding yourself with thoughts like promoting 'women's movement' whilst preferably lying on your back.
