Gen Zer learns about the limitations of technology in the 90s

[2 Up 2 Down]

This fukking idiot asking if there were music videos back then. These kids don't even bother to know the history of the world before them. It never occurs to them ask how did it get to this point?

Its hard to believe how stupid they are. I can see if he was a single digit age because they are just learning the world when they are that young

Hes talking about dubbing from the radio

 

[Wargames]

I feel like it wasn't hard to understand the limitations of previous generations when I was a kid.

The in home technology has jumped a lot.

When we were kids the technology was still the same but maybe the old tvs were black or white or the old phones were dial phones.

Now everyone has a computer in their pocket that does the work that several devices use to do all in their hands.

We definitely had a greater appreciation for music. Having damn near the whole history of music at our fingertips is cool but getting an album used to feel like an event when I was younger

Getting to the store to cop a album only to find out they were sold out

Spotify and Fmoviez type of sites is one of the best things about modern day technology



Imagine trying to watch a show like the Sopranos in the early seasons where it tells a story over the course of a season rather than stand alone episodes If something comes where you couldn't watch the most recent episode live




As a kid I ate GOOD off the bootleg man when it came buying albums, even then two albums would cost you 10 bucks, about the same as an monthly spotify subscription in 2025. Some bootleggers had 2 for 5 deals but And even then, they only had the most recent albums and random mixtapes available to buy. Couldn't buy Illmatic or IWW from the bootleg man in 2005 for example

When I missed an ep of DBZ that shyt haunted my sould

Millennial here but I never waited on the radio to record shyt onto a cassette tape

Young millennials

I still remember when we got our first radio with a cd player, it came with a tapr recorder and we had to record the CDs into s cassette to listen on the car

These kids legitimately do not have any incentive to learn anything because of AI and algorithms, nor see any value in critical thinking.

 

[Dont@Me]

There's some shyt you just should know.

You think every human automatically comes out the womb with a history update in their software???

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

Wait until they learn about dialup

Moms copped me my own line because of this…well that and I’d be otp

I went years without hearing songs I knew existed and loved just because that’s how it was.
You youngins will never experience what it’s like to hear a song you’ve been fiending to hear, but had no way to, for the first time in years.
Better than sex.
Especially if you loaded in the club.

if you really loved that song you could have bought the tape and had that ish on rewind.... idk wtf you was on lol

Do you need some attention tetherette?

 

[Remote]

This is more proof that just because you have access to information doesn’t mean you’re any more knowledgeable.

This kid never had the fukkin intellectual curiosity to even google this shyt.

I’ve watched videos from the fukkin 1930s explaining how a gear differential works on a car. But this kid never realized how a cassette tape deck worked.

I remember going hungry at school and mowing lawns to save up for Wu-Tang Forever

 

[god shamgod]

So Mushroom Afro has never seen a Michael Jackson video or any artist from back in the day? what the hell bubble he living in

 

[SpikeLee Cumbersmith]

That's why millennials are the GOAT. We got the best of both worlds, from putting coins in pay phones at the bus stop to all the shyt we got now

Bruh , unless you have heard your phone ring, and you knew by the sequence of rings that it was for your neighbor, you're baby GOAT. That was a party line. 4 households sharing a line.
This kid aged tf out of me!
