Millenials have no idea about such things...

Children of the 80's will appreciate these, but somebody explain them to the young'uns...

Out of a class of twenty-three college freshman two years ago, not a single one of them had ever held a newspaper.

Think about that for a moment.

Born in 87 and know all about all those.

Can people please stop posting Buzzfeed things as new threads. It's mostly non-millennials who do this ironically.

Born in 1986, and I still own all of those. Except for the portable cassette tape deck (i.e. BOOM BOX), which was fucking stolen from my car last year.

On second thought, I still use many of those things.

Just because it's posted as a new thread, doesn't mean you have to view it. Not everybody reads buzzfeed, nor can we have conversation about it without sharing it here.

’90s Kids Rejoice! The End Of Net Neutrality Means The Return Of Dial-Up Speeds -

Remember this sound? Well, it’s gearing up for a major comeback, baby!

The FCC and big corporations like Comcast and Time Warner are colluding to create a two-tiered internet system with fast lanes and slow lanes. Companies that are willing to pony up the big bucks would have access to faster internet, while everybody else would have much slower access.

For a lot of the internet, this could mean a return to dial-up speeds. And if you’re a ’90s kid, that’s pretty much the BEST. NEWS. EVER. For absolutely no extra money, you might get a throwback to the pre-Y2K days of glacial modem speeds!

Remember those lazy Saturday afternoons waiting hours and hours for a single Third Eye Blind song to download on Kazaa? Or sharing your A/S/L in AOL chat rooms, talking trash at Smarter Child, and racking up high scores in Math Blaster? The chance to relive those amazing times could be coming back very, very soon!

As long as the FCC can hold its ground against “civil liberties advocates,” we should be in the clear. Then we’ll be on a one-way time machine trip to the glory days of cyberspace! Might as well break out your Microsoft Encarta discs now, because if everything goes as planned, you’ll probably have a hard time getting Wikipedia to load again.

So raise your Hi-C Ecto Coolers and pass around the Dunkaroos—the internet’s getting slow again, and that calls for a celebration!

Google fiber is going to come and PWN the shit out of these terrible internet providers. I hope.

I still use my sony disc man to play CDs in my car - it plays through a cassette tape adapter.

There is 0% chance this is true.

How is Limewire not a millenial thing?

 

[wakephan09]

There is 0% chance this is true.

I'm sure one or two of them were holding back, but it is probably pretty accurate. I've asked every semester since, and I've never had fewer than half admit to it. Many universities don't even have school papers in hard copy anymore. They've just last year discontinued the printed Onion in Austin.
