Most of us who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s remember how technology was growing at such a rapid pace back then. We used to think that cassette players were so innovative and that those big boom boxes were funky. But if we look back now, we have to chuckle at how archaic some of our favorite gadgets are today, and how certain major events seem so incredibly meaningless.
Here are 20 pictures of things people born after the year 2000 will never understand:
1. When your only connection to the outside world was a rotary phone with a cord…
2. When passing notes in schoolwas the only way to text your friends…
3.Those giant boom boxes that we used to carry around everywhere…
4. Having to wind cassette tapes with a pencil…
5. The horror of scratched vinyl records…
6. The whole Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding Controversy…
7. Sneaking in booze at thedrive-in movie theater…
8.Setting a VCR to record your favorite television show…
9. Life before flat screen televisions…
10. Reading an actual road map…
11. Remembering to rewind the VHS tapes before returning them to Blockbuster…
12. Those oversized CD racks that took up so much space…
13. Watching OJ Simpson’s high-speed car chase in real time…
14. Cameras that couldn’t preview photos…
15. Floppy disks we used to back up college essays…
16. The ‘old school’ cellphones without I-tunes, Internet, and cameras…
17. Encyclopedia sets: the old fashioned Google…
18. When the only downloaded music we had was found at the record store…
19. When station wagons were the preferred vehicle of the soccer mom (and most us even rode in the back without a seatbelt)…
20.And, of course, the days of riding a bicycle without a helmet…
