Every generation looks back at their youthful period with nostalgia; everything was better when we were kids, and no one can convince me otherwise! Yet, there is something about my generation, the early millennials, that does make us unique. 90's kids grew up in a time of unprecedented technological change; for instance, we were born with the cassette, the CD came and went, then it was Mp3, iTunes, and finally Spotify. All in just a few years!
The technology that children nowadays take for granted was refined over the years through our experiences. We eventually got the internet, but we had to wait for it to connect. We had phones, though they were connected to our houses until Nokia came along with SMS and snake. And we had something similar to Netflix as well, but you had to go to rent a tape or DVD at the video store. Looking back, these things may seem incredibly basic and inconvenient now, but we loved them! And I will take my Nirvana/Soundgarden/Faith No More mixtape over your Jonas Brothers Spotify playlist any day of the week.
We've created a list of all those 'struggles' we had with technology back in the day, and they're sure to bring back some good memories. Do you recognize some of these? Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and share your own stories in the comments!
