Doing research papers are mega easy now. I remember having to go to a library and borrowing books after books to get information about a certain topic. And Im unlucky moments, the book you want has been rented out. The fact they have digital libraries now blows my mind. I graduated from high school when Floppy Discs were becoming less frequent and CDs were the new in. I went on limewire in high school to burn CDs and pray I didnt accidentally downloaded a virus on my parents computer. I remember my brother ruined a bunch of my dads tapes by tangling the rope. It was impossible to get a pencil to reel it back together. My brother was a wittle baby still.
I remember getting a Blackberry phone when I finally turned 15! That would have been the cool, but the keyboard slide was the new in and I just had to get one. I got an LG Slide that had its first full keyboard! Faster to text. I had a ringtone of the song I recorded from the radio. Like in 2017, I blinked and BAMMMMM technology felt so new that Im still tryna catch up. And its gotten more advanced since.
I love how easy it is! Gen Alpha is going to be hella blessed with technology at their fingertips

I was born in 83 so I was around before Internet lol, I still remember the first computer my mom bought and it was super basic, you could either go on the Internet which was basically just the encyclopedia lol, or play 1 of 3 games, Mindcraft not Minecraft, solitaire, or paint which wasn't a game but passed the time no Cell company or Cable Company for TV or Internet so these high school graduates from our town opened a small company called Small Bytes and we bought our Internet thru them the next town over. It was dial up of course, after a few years people started websites and even Yahoo search was a huge thing you could actually search for things instead of going thru a list of what topic you choose to search. Kids have no idea how easy they have things these days

I was born in the 1990s in general. I remember these things so well honestly like the phonebook part I remember like when I would call friends for example trying to find their phone numbers and then the next day I will go to school and ask for their number so I can have it on the same thing with the maps. Using your phone now makes it easier obviously Im proud and thankful to be a 90s baby and honestly I am very happy that I still remember these things from time to time. I miss being born in the 90s.

I was a kid in the 90s so I do understand all of these. My parents got rid of their landline in 2001. I still remember the phone number. Renting movies over the weekend was my number one.
A friend of mine kept insisting that in Ricky Martins song Livin La Vida Loca he was saying push and shampoo you down. I told him it was push and pull you down. A friend of ours had the cd with the lyrics and brought it over to show him he was wrong. LOL

Um, you do know that electronics that use exchangeable batteries are still very common, don't you? Everyone still uses them, and while some portable electronics like cell phones and e-readers do not, it's not like landline phones or physical books ever used them, either. Well, at least you no longer have to change out the batteries in your Walkman or your Game Boy.

I was born in '91. So my favorite part of this list is no GPS. I remember my parents using maps when I was a little kid. And as a young teenager I would print out mapquest directions for them lol. But by the time I could drive smartphones had decent GPS navigation. Ahh it was great. I probably couldn't read a map to save my life, but all of my brothers can

I remember my family didn't believe anything was going to happen during Y2K, but my brother-in-laws family did, I can remember his mom and sisters stocking their basement with water and canned food, they even brought bottles of water over to my sister, and her husbands house. Me and my other sister had a good laugh at them when nothing happened.

Is it weird that I actually liked going to the video store? You never knew what you would find to rent. I don't miss dial up though. Didn't help that my parents took forever to decide to get high speed internet back when it was new. Strangely it didn't take us that long to get a wireless landline.

I remember this one time when I was a kid my family and I were using the Internet for a bit, I forgot the reasoning, the cops showed up at the house saying that my grandpa, my mom's dad, was trying to call my mom and thought something bad happened to us.

For me, my biggest struggle was Dial-Up Internet. One thing not mentioned in the pick was that it jacked up the phone bill. Due to my mom's history with such, it was VERY hard to convince her to sign up with the new-at-the-time broadband connections.

Nostalgia this was NOT. Ugh, I grew up in the 90s, and though i experienced every one of these problems, they are gladly NOT missed. There are some things, like scunchies, that are making a comeback from the 90s. DON'T LET THESE BE ANY ONE OF THOSE!

I never knew about Y2K until I read it in a book in 2010, and. I was born in 1992. I also know my childhood number by heart. We moved to our new place 2 and a half years ago, and I still dont know our current number.

Being born on New Years Eve, 1991, I can definitely relate with nearly all of these, except Y2K and waiting for the internet to dial up. Cant remember the Y2K problem and we didnt get internet until after 2000

My brother and I would rent games for our N64 that we were not allowed to actually keep, like conkers bad fur day. I think our parents where reasonable about that, but it really sucked when it was not in.

I remember all of the stuff. I was in college in the early 2000s, and I remember switching from dial up to DSL modem. Thought I died and went to heaven.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

My mum was saying that when she was younger, if someone was on the phone, they had to wait for that person to be off the phone plus you couldnt go anywhere because it was attached to the wall.

As somebody who once owned a Sega Game Gear, I can testify that it went through batteries like toilet paper. Thank goodness for wall chargers and rechargeable batteries, but sheesh!

Actually in Britain we had the Britanica Encyclopaedia, the first CD Rom encyclopaedia, the precursor to Wikipedia in the 90s. Was a life saver when doing research on the home computer.

Cell phones did exist in the 90s. They were just rare, expensive, had smaller coverage areas, and did nothing but make phone calls.
There were also car phones, remember those?

Having been born in '86, some of my strongest memories involve the stuff on this list. Really glad I don't have to deal with dial up nor having someone tape over my VHS anymore.

Reading a book for information was never a struggle for myself. reading a big book on many different historical events is a fun hobby I love to do.
