What Technological Advancements Blew Your Mind in Your Life?

Storage, easily.


I remember when i first started using computer there was floppy disk and my obsession was saving all "cool" pics i found online, keep in minute this was back when even saving a pic would take 30 min. I remember after about 40-60 pics/ 5-8 word documents around there the floppy would be full.Then came CD's and those expanded storage much more , couple of hundred pics , then CD'R , DVDS, USB

It was just the other day it dawned on me when i took my 1TB slim toshiba drive and put it shirt pocket , i have easily over 500 + movies,tv shows, documentaries etc on there

Going from 2400 baud to 28800 (1994). Ya'll youngin's would shoot yourselves if you had to deal with 28800 speed today, but at the time it was .

That was when I knew the information age was coming.

Streaming porn

I remember 'porn' back in the day was some VHS that got passed around. it didn't even matter what it was, it was just a porno tape, and you better hide that shyt

now I have the freedom to be so damn picky about my porn

writable blank CD-R's...I was in highschool and made $$$ of selling mix cd's

ipod...I would have murdered for this when I was a kid/middle schooler

DVD's...when I first booted up Gladiator and the menu came on with the music, then chapter skipping

iPad....no more laptop to carry around the house, in the bathroom, or on my lap, didnt need to keep it plugged in

online gaming....connecting with random people in counterstrike, jedi knight, etc. I was floored

In my demonic youth, I went to the local porno shop once a month to buy discounted VHS, and I'd be mad heated when the box misled you to the quality piff you were buying

Personally.....From my youth, the Atari to Nintendo jump. Going from Pac Man and Pitfall to Super Mario bros, kung fu, metroid, mike tyson punch out, contra, tecmo bowl......Words can't even describe how that sh1t impacted some of us as kids and changed muthafvcka's lives

Streaming porn

This, streaming in general. I used to have jack sessions where I'd finish before the picture fully loaded

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
