Honorable mention:
Going to an Arcade.
But seriously, kids today don't even know what the arcade is like in the 1980's and the 1990's. There are some classic games such as Galaga, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, multiple Neo Geo games, racing titles such as the Cruis'n series, rail shooters such as The House of the Dead, etc. Sure some arcades still exists in some parts of the U. S. today with the likes of Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, Illinois (near Chicago) and Funspot in Laconia, New Hampshire.

I was born in 2000. I have fond memories with the majority of these
I have never seen a pay phone booth.
Funny thing is my Dad was in IT since I was a baby (still to this day) so a lot of these I’ve seen used. Or actually used as I am a very curious person and my Dad has a fascination with old tech.
I have never used a card catalog. And to be honest I am too tired (6am) to remember a lot of the other stuff said.

As a 57 yo it blows my mind that we’ve moved on so far in the past 30 years or so, although they where almost obsolete when I was growing up I still remember 8 track players and cartridges, when I was a teenager I actually seeked one out for old times sake, nowadays I’m listening to all my music on my phone, I love technology from all eras

An overhead projector is something kids should recognize. My early elementary school teachers used them for math lessons, and how they work fascinates me. With an overhead projector, a focusing lens projects light from an illuminated slide onto a projection screen where a real image is formed. That info comes from Wikipedia.

I actually have floppy drives for my Commodore 64 and 128. They are the 1541, 1571, and 1581. Back in the days before the Internet, I used a modem to call bulletin board systems (BBS) and download and upload software. There was even areas where you could post just about anything.

I know some people still buy the Christmas edition of the tv guide (or Radio Times as it’s called in the UK. It used to be a big part of the run up to Christmas as a kid, getting excited looking through it and circling what you wanted to see.

I had one of those record players that came in a little suit case. and it had a little part in the middle that you could spin and it would rise so it could play the different size records. It was so fancy!

Wouldn’t be surprised if they stop making wired game controllers, I guess I shouldn’t expect them to know Pro controllers will likely always have a wired options to reduce input lag during competition.

Not being able to pause TV and hoping you make it back before the adverts finish or getting home in time to watch a specific show also I have to say as a Brit, TV Guides are still very popular

Being born at the beginning of the 21st century, I’m part of the last generation of people who lived through the days of VHS tapes, cassettes, phone books, and most importantly no social media!

I prefer these forms of technology especially when a tv from the 90s would last 30 years compared to a 500$ tv lasting only 3-5 years. Mind you I also had a typewriter and pager in school

I work in a hospital they issued me a pager on my 1st day. I tell patients, if something comes up let the nurses know and they’ll page me [holds up pager] like it’s 1993!

Rotary dial was the 1st texting kids
They had an alphabet attached to those numbers
You could call someone and give a message just by the dialer

Tried showing my nephews VCR a couple of years back along with all my favorite cartoons. I had on VHS and they had no freaking idea how to use the thing.

I remember starting to watch Friends in the 2010's, and being confused at half of the dated 90's references, namely Pagers. It still holds up, regardless.

I have a 2017 Versa and it was the only one on the lot that stood out to me. Manual roll up windows are still here. They are on economy cars.

Kids today will never know the overwhelming joy of upgrading to a 2400 baud modem. I still get goosebumps remembering that EPIC moment.
