20 Things Today´s Kids Will Never Understand

"IF THE LOVE DOESN´T FEEL LIKE 90´s R&B - I DON´T WANT IT."

I am a 90´s kid and maybe still one of the younger generation here on Steemit but since I grew up with 5 older siblings, I have gone through things that todays kids will never understand or never have...

I am so happy to look back to my childhood and remembering all those funny games, times of laughter, playing in the nature or just having quality time with friends and family. When I accidentally clicked on some gossip news pages, I found some articles and pictures about stuff we had in the past that kids of todays generation will never understand! I am pretty sure that almost everyone of you will remember at least 2-3 things that I am going to write down later...

I have written many articles explaining what children of today´s generation are doing wrong or maybe not doing wrong in general but what they are doing different than we used to do. Its also called the smartphone generation which meets up without talking to each other, looking at the screen for most of the time and scrolling through social media like it´s the most interesting book we have ever read! Anyway, I was giggling when I first saw the following pictures because so many old memories came up which made me think of doing a Steemit post about it! 

Enough talking for now, let´s jump right into the memories 

1. Video Shop

Going to the video shop and spending hours starring at dvd covers because you could could only pick 1 movie to watch that night. 

2. CD Storage

Keeping your CD`s safe...

3. MySpace Layout

Who still remembers the struggle by finding the perfect Myspace layout?

4. Learning A Song Lyrics 

Where do we look up the lyrics of a song nowadays? Right, we just type in the name of the song and the text will appear automatically. Do you remember looking up the lyrics from the cut outs in TV Hits and Smash Hits magazines?

5. Blowing On A Cassette

Sometimes the cassette wasnt working because a lot of dust was stuck inside the tape so you needed to blow away the disturbing dirt. 

6. Taking A Picture 

We are complaining about bad photo quality nowadays but when you buy a camera, you just pay once for the item which is great but who remembers the time where we could only take a limited number of photos at a time, then waiting days to be able to pay the photos in order to see them? 

7. Cartoons

I do not watch any TV but I remember switching through a few programs that I used to watch when I was little and there were literally no cartoons that deserve a like from me. But who knows great cartoons from the past?

8. Memorize Phone Numbers 

I think most of us are remembering their own mobile phone number, am I right? But there was a time where almost everyone of us could memorize the phone numbers of their friends house and maybe still do! 

9. Making Your First Website On Geocities

Not also creating a website, also making MIDI music and creed. 

10. Music On MTV

Before we had reality TV on MTV, there was music with matching music videos!

11. Game Boy Accessories 

I loved the Game Boy but this thing was like a mystery to me. This accessory made it possible to play in the dark! 

12. Classroom Excitement 

The exciting sight you see when you walk into the classroom...

13. Recording TV Episodes 

Kids nowadays do not have to worry about watching their favorite TV show because internet makes everything easy to watch later on at any time. I still remember those days were we set up a recording device in order to record the most important series when we havent enough time to watch them in the current moment. 

14. Getting Disconnected 

The feeling when your mom picked up the phone and you were disconnected with the internet. 

15. Too Small Pockets 

Who havent had a disc man? But do you remember the struggle of putting the device into your too small pockets?

16. Scratching Your CDs

Scratching your CD´s and not being able to listen to your favorite playlist was so bad!

17. Meeting Up With A Friend

A few years earlier we hadnt had the chance to call a friend when he/she was already on the way to your meet up and you felt sick or couldnt make it. 

18. Slow Starting Computers 

Oh no, it took years sometimes to just start the computer...

19. "This program has stopped responding"

20. Loosing This Ball

This specific ball was so important and it was a disaster if you couldnt find it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I felt like this post had no ending at all...  😀

I only mentioned 20 things on my list and I have found many more which I wanted to share but 20 listings are enough for now... 

Do you miss any of these toys or tools?

What do you remember of my listings? 

Thanks for joining me today

Stay focused 

Love, Soldier
