If you think back to the 1990s you’ll quickly realize that things were completely different. We have made huge strides in technology which has affected our daily lives. In this video we will have a closer look at some things that have become obsolete since 2000!

One activity we don’t do anymore? Order Pizza or food via phone. Today you can do that online with your smartphone my going to a digital menu, selecting the food, and payment options, and delivery options.
This video is already obsolete. By the way, computer labs still exist and are more important than ever for machining learning and AI programming; your dumb ipad can't do the work. One more thing. Phones are getting ridiculously big and heavy; phones 20 years ago were smaller and had longer battery life.
Anyone who wants an honest to god blind date can date me since I'm totally blind. 🙂 Ok, lame joke but hey. I am totally blind.
I grew up having two daily newspapers delivered, and my parents having numerous magazine subscriptions. They also watched the news every evening—so did I because there was just one television.
Hey, I had a fax machine until 2015. They are still around. That, and I still have a landline.
I was born in 2000 and remember the phone book we also had flip phone frist grade and kindgaretden we didn't have yx x+2 we had basic math basics a+ through f through my elementary years and played outside mostly riding a toy tractor down my grand parents drive way.
I remember when we got our first color tv I thought we were rich. I also remember when we only 3 channels to watch. And 8 tracks.
Many schools still have computer labs.
The kids who live with these things would grow up and make them obsolete.
1. I remember computer labs at school, my elementary school even had one too.
2. I vaguely remember busy signals being a thing as a young kid.
3. Personally, when I stayed home sick from school in the early 2000s, I would watch cartoons on Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or Disney Channel
4. I still remember watching VCR tapes when I was a young kid, usually it was movies from the Land Before Time series or classic Disney films.
5. I don't remember that at pharmacies but I do remember my parents taking me into Walmart to get family photos taken as a young kid.
6. I didn't know about those printers
7. Yeah I remember static on TV screens
8. I had a kiddie version of one of those when I was a kid. You would put in some round paper disc-like thing and you could project images from it onto any clear wall.
9. I've never used a fax machine but I remember seeing a fax option on printers.
10. Never had a polaroid, but I remember when my parents would use small digital cameras to take pictures before smartphones were a thing.
11. I remember having to use my parents' landline phone to call friends when I was a kid.
12. I remember using dial up internet a few times when I would visit my grandparents' house as a kid. I didn't experience it in my own home though because I didn't start using the internet at home until the mid-2000s and by that point it was already broadband.
13. I remember my parents getting lost on long road trips as a kid and needing to ask for directions.
14. I had a portable CD player and one of those CD binders as a kid, I would use it to listen to music on road trips.
15. I would argue you still don't really know what people look like beforehand, at least not with 100% certainty, since people can often catfish on dating apps.
16. I was taught cursive in 3rd grade and haven't used it for anything other than signatures since.
17. I remember seeing those as a kid.
18. I'm sure my school library organized using that system as a kid, but I never really paid attention to it because I would browse and find books randomly to read instead of trying to look for a specific book.
19. Never seen or had one in person but I remember going to live shows and having people tell the audience to turn those off if they had them.
20. I remember having to use calculators like that as a kid in school.
21. I definitely remember seeing magazine ads when I was younger, but they didn't look the same as those.
22. My parents still get newspapers with local news delivered to them.
great, good job, now I want a damn Garfield phone.
1. Proper parenting
2. Watching your kids, not YouTube.
3. Teaching your kids., not YouTube.
4. Self knowledge.
I could go on but what's the point.
Watching in 2024 and smiling because we now have AI. Tech changes so fast, it's an incredible time to be alive!
I'm 65 and I remember my brother and I listening to the old ladies gossiping on the party line, when cable first came out it was commercial free, now it's almost all commercials. I still have a Polaroid camera and it still works lol.
When will we finally obsolete cars?
Don't people miss the evil possess red eyes you get on your photos
Gamestop Blockbusters stores.,
Put in 04377 & you had O Hell
Better yet after all the searching in the library they find out someone has already checked it out and it is the only copy.
I miss the 90,s printing mapquest and follow direction and still get lost
The crazy thing is that the government could be hiding technology that is severely decades ahead of what citizens are allowed to have. Holograms that you see in Iron Man and StarWars may already exist and are being used by top secret military members. The tech that UFOs would have may already be in use. Portals or speed of light transportation. Power generators that can last thousands of years without being replaced. Invisibility suits you couldn't see from just a few feet away.
Another thing I would like to point out is that if we could travel back in time with the technology we have today, people would think of us as gods.
The government may have a top secret group that has solutions to every problem but keeps it a secret for power and control over the population. Without money, they can't keep the poor broke. Without sickness, they can't lower the world population. Without programming, they can't manipulate your thoughts.
In a world full of greed and lust and desperate to own the latest products, we have forgotten what it was like to appreciate what we only needed.
Yep, like when Google Maps told me that I was 3 miles from an intersection I could see through my windshield. A great way to get lost and the reason I still keep a paper GPS/map in my glovebox. . Many of these items are still more popular than you realize.
