I can still remember when video stores, VHS, and desktop computers were a thing. I’d always come home from school and do either one of those things and it was so much fun. Life was so much better before social media! I’d give anything to go back to those simpler days.

I still remember when the internet was connected to the phone, so you couldn’t call your house or make calls if you were using it

I was born in 1997, but grew up in the early 2000s. I totally get these ones. So it evokes lots of

This entire video should be shown to kids in every classroom today. Thank you @MsMojo for bringing me back to childhood

My childhood was going to the video store and wait for either a movie or video game to be there.
Man, the nostalgia of the 90s. 😊😊😊😊😊

I was born in 1989 and I used to record songs I liked off the radio using lots of blank cassette tapes, providing the radio station wasn’t fuzzy lol

[rstein]

As someone born in 1991, I remember some of those things before the internet.

One thing I would add is no mobile phones. Back when I was a kid, we had no possibility of contacting others and had to hope they were ok or if we were meeting up that they simply turn up. Nowadays that's impossible.

I wasn’t a 90’s kid, but my kids were. I feel each of these examples intensely.

[erinsaylors]

This is from me who was born in 1991, it was easy back in the day, kids don't stress about money, I both had hard working parental units one in farming business and the other in psychology

[sockygaldamez]

Going to a video store was one of the bestest times ever for me as a Kid 😁😁 it was always fun to go there and pick out any movie you wanted to watch on a Friday night or the weekend ❤️❤️Me and my family used to choose so many 😊

Y2K = Year 2000.
The beginning of the 21st century.
Some people were literally paranoid about it.

[marcosspinetti]

How about the struggle of missing an episode of your favorite show on cable TV and you have to wait in about an undisclosed amount of time for it to come as a rerun?

[Unovakid]

I was just a kid when most of these things became a thing of the past. It's weird knowing what they were but not actually remembering being around when they still existed

[jessrosefawkes]

I used to love waiting for my photos to develop lol. Hoping that they turned out good and hoping that your little brother didn’t waste some of the film lol. Good times, I’m so glad I was born in the 80s, I would honestly hate to be a kid or teen in this social media generation. I used to have to call my mates on their landline or just walk round and call for them lol and then just play out in woods, climbing trees and falling out and hurting yourself, but then having a bad arse scar lol. I can honestly say that the 90s was the last great generation. 80s and 90s were best days of my life. Xxx

[Vitamnx]

I'd go back to the '90s in a heartbeat, all this stuff be damned.

[ColleenJoudrey]

I was born in '85 so all of these were very familar to me. My internet time didn't start until 10pm when my phone time was finished. I also remember paying 4x my hourly wage to buy a cd and 2x my wage to rent a movie or video game for a weekend.

[Compucles]

TV Guide also had a lot of good TV related articles back before the Internet became popular, especially the Season Preview issues.

[saphiramystique]

I remember my family didn't believe anything was going to happen during Y2K, but my brother-in-law’s 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 husband’s house. Me and my other sister had a good laugh at them when nothing happened.

[pamelakibildis]

As A 90s kid I remember all of these and I managed to come through just fine I actually miss them so much when the world was simple and people had common sense especially our 90s kids youth I Loved Blockbuster 📼 and would love to have it back it’s just so nostalgic 🥹🥹

7:47 I still have the old Internet dial up sounds in my memory to this day.
