I grew up on Floppy Disks, in school
Not knowing how to burn a CD, so, I just played it and recorded it with the mic
I remember the only cell phone I knew of was this 90-ish, that didn't work, in my Dad's den
Rewinding VHS's
ALLLLLL the batteries I copped for my CD players
Wow
I can't say I was amazed at the time, but, lookin' back, I guess I was able to take it all in
I'm kinda a old man (on the inside), so, I think technology is advancing too fast and to our detriment.

Yoooo, I remember when the 360 dropped and the wireless controller was the standard, and I was like :belip:
EVERY iteration of wireless I thought was faulty up until that point. I didn't have a Gamecube and couldn't speak on its wireless capabilities. So when I first got my hands on the controller and was already fulla scust, my mind was straight ROCKED at how well it worked.
RF and Bluetooth

hard drives - ipods and computer ones. I remember trekking through the city,bus,and subways with my book of cds.
I remember my uncle going in jail in the walkman era and getting out of jail and seeing a ipod for the first time. He was looking at the cd collection and the ipod back and forth like we were fukking with him with a mixture of

Just the other day I noticed that the dust bins (trash cans) in london have video advertising on the side of them (flat screen tv on the side showing television adverts), I said to my friend "that there is some back to the future 2 shyt...", in the eighties I wouldn't have even been able to comprehend that happening
i was in Times Square a few weeks ago was checking out all the 100 foot HD flatscreen displays they had all over the place. i said the same thing you did about Back to the Future.

Going from text-only services like CompuServe in the 80's to the World Wide Web in the early 90's and waiting 3 minutes to view one image was a mind-fukking experience in its self.
Then when I was downloading mp3s in 1997 and regularly waiting 15+ hours for an album, over a week of constant downloading to grab a telesync version of a movie to getting high-speed internet and downloading a movie in 40 minutes had me...
