Thinking about being born in 78-81..
PC's were a thing for rich kids/families..or that single never married uncle who played Leisure Suit Larry on his Tandy..
I didnt get a PC/Online till 2000... 21 years old lol
Had beepers! $30 a month lol Was a mandatory method for every weed dealer in highschool lol
No Cell Phones. I didnt have one till I was about 23. When you went outside...you were GONE.
Had a cordless phone, would take it with me in my buddies car. Had to make a call? We would pull into my driveway just enough so it would connect to my phone line.
Had my own phone in my room tho! 267-2990 (Go ahead, call it...ask for me from 1996 lol) Blast your favorite song, hit record on your answering machine...10 seconds of music, then turn it down and say "Hey, not here, leave a message" turn music back up..
Freshman year, what new albums..Wu-Tang!! First Snoop Album! Tool drops Undertow! Nas drops Illmatic in 94!!
Remembe bringing Nirvanas Nevermind album to school in 7th gradeand people laughing saying "Eww, theres a babys dick on the cover!"
Head to a highschool motel party..
Somebody brought this "thing" called a Playstation!? HOURS AND HOURS of being 16 in a motel room with 30 other people drinking St. Ides and playing Wipeout.
Dont get me started on some one bringing a muti-tap elbow and the NBA 4 player fights at a party..
It was a good time..
That change from child to young adult in 1991-1993..
Technology was at the cusp of taking off and didnt hit till we were 18-21..
Hair metal died just as you 'discovered' music and you had grunge, 120 minutes bringing you Sonic Youth or the Pixies, Rap music moved from Hammer to Wu-Tang, Biggie, Nas, etc..
No 9/11, no 1000 channels of a media blitz, no porn on demand (The 'finding porn in the woods' is a REAL thing!)
I feel like us born in this time frame had the last, and one of the best, childhoods..
