1. My school got laptops in 2002. I remember a little boy in my class smashed the slide projector

2. When did they add letters to math? And by the way another day has gone by that I didn’t use algebra

3. I get the concensus that everyone who grew up in the 70's would like to go back and to hell with technology!

4. He forgot to include rubbing sticks together to make 🔥.

6. 2001 gen z here and all of this was pretty much my childhood, I really miss when things weren't as complicated and technological. I always feel lucky that I got to grow up without the stress of social media (until I was a teenager😭)

   I wanna go back in time now 🥲

7. I was happier back then

8. Hey, I can read and write cursive. In fact, i don't know how to write normally though I can read normal letters.

9. We have lost far more than we gained . Social media is far less social than stopping by a friend's for a visit !

10. I feel so old

11. When I was in grade school and even high school back in the 70’s & 80s, my girlfriends and I would be on the phone (with the long ass curly cord) and do ..(phone stuff ) and then fall asleep listening to each other breathing and then one of us would wake up i the morning and see if the other was there still.. but that part never happened…

12. I miss the 70’s so much! I’d trade this time period for 1971 again in a heartbeat. ❤

13. Maybe that’s why it can possibly feel like a travesty when grown adults simply do as they are told without thinking to even question where the information is coming from. It breaks my heart.💔

14. My middle child found a floppy disk in a drawer back in 2014 and she had no idea what it was. My oldest child was playing Barbies sometime around 2008 and she found this little calculator that one of the Barbies had. She thought it was a cell phone. And I just recently bought my dad an actual vinyl record for Father’s Day, and all three of my kids treated it like it was something so foreign they couldn’t even believe it… my kids are 23, 19 and 10.

15. Having been born in 2002 and still living in the same house, this strikes me in the feels.

    We had 2 DVD players, but our VHS player is still there under the tv… and that player hasn't been used in years BUT we still have the VHS tapes for it too (which contain my childhood)
    I absolutely remember our first TV which was small and that static screen (and I prefer small ones as I sometimes bump into or hit our current big screen TV against my head).
    I remember fax machines despite never having witnessed one.
    Lastly, I remember our old home computer: the first computer I ever used.

16. Cellphones will only go to voicemail if you have the service active. I can turn mine on or off at will. Same goes with call waiting. I have both services turned off bc of scammers. Call waiting and voicemail are extremely annoying. I'm on a pay as you go plan and the fact that both VM and CW are included is pointless bc I also have call display.

17. There was also O for operator and 411. And the time.

18. Terrible soap opera? Soaps were super popular in the 70/80/90s. And a lot were very good. But to each their own. 🤷🏾‍♀️

19. the good, better and priceless old times 🥰

20. phone busy signal was not only from the person your calling being on another call, it could also mean the phone was off the hook

21. Landlines, old format of music, real cameras, andcalculators will never be missed in my life. And I am just turned 47 years old
