2. There were no cell phones but pay phones are used instead.

Back in my day, games were played on cartridges. And you had to blow in them in order to work (but it only worked when the owner of the game blew in it for some reason).

 

[pompayyy]

Back in my day, we had to have CDs, Pokemon was less polished, Cartoons were super weird, music was either rap or boy bands, and it took 18 minutes to watch a minute long video.

OMG THA 90S WERE SO MUCH BETTR!!!

 

[Treecko]

Back in my day? There were smoking and non-smoking sections in restaurants.

I still see tons of restaurants with smoking and non-smoking sections. Maybe it's your area. I hope we still have smoking/non-smoking sections 50 years from now too.


Anyway. Back in my day we read actual, physical books. You held them and they were really thick and heavy sometimes and you could ACTUALLY page through them. Not just e-books only on some flat tablet. (It's sad knowing real books could be obsolete in 20 - 50 years. :/ )


Also it's funny seeing people say the Internet/ cell phones/ CD players didn't exist in their day, and they're under 25. All those things been around before you were born. Cell phone have existed since the 80s , they were just big and bulky. CDs existed in the 80s too, they just weren't as cheap. CDs players weren't very expensive in your day either. I remember getting my first CD player when I was 10 for like 20 dollars. The internet has been known since at least 1985/1990, just really didn't blow up untill about 1995 though. You're not as old as you think you are.

 

[Sopheria]

Back in my day, AOL practically owned the internet.

Back in my day, you couldn't browse the internet and talk on the phone at the same time.

Back in my day, knowing the Dewey decimal system was actually pretty darn useful.
