In 1962, the world was a different place.
There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo. Or Presurfer.blogspot, for that matter.
In 1962, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Lawrence of Arabia. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster.
Remember, that was before there were DVDs. Heck, even before there was VHS. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. And mostly all of that without 3D computer effects.
Do you know who won the Oscars that year? The academy award for the best movie went to Lawrence of Arabia. The Oscar for best foreign movie that year went to Sundays and Cybele. The top actor was Gregory Peck for his role as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. The top actress was Anne Bancroft for her role as Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker. The best director? David Lean for Lawrence of Arabia.
Type in your birth year and see what happened in the year you were born.
