Everyone from the 1990s is invited! It's time to reflect about our upbringing and the difficulties we had when coping with technology. Here are the most relevant challenges of 1990s kids that we will never forget. This generation is being shaped by technological innovation. And we 90's kids can't help but notice how today's kids bask in the opulence of modern technology. That is actually beneficial to these young millennials. All of the contemporary technologies that they have now are things that we could only dream about as children. It's a good thing they live in a high-tech era where they can get everything they desire with the press of a button. Life in the 1990s, you know, was not as convenient as it is for young millennials today. But that doesn’t mean we are less happy with what we have back then.

Texting wasn't that easy

We only had Nokia phones in the 1990s before people were enslaved by iPhones and smartphones. Unlike today's thin phones, early Nokia smartphones are big and heavy. Furthermore, these monochrome phones only come with three pre-installed games: snake, memory, and logic. It could only play MIDI rhythms. These phones may lack advanced features such as applications, media players, and 3D games. However, when it comes to phone functionality, they are a step above the others. They are so strong that you could drop it from the second floor and it would still be intact and functional. If you do that with your smartphone, you can kiss it goodbye for good. Furthermore, Nokia batteries can endure for several days.

Using tapes or CD player

We used to preserve our favorite music on cassette cassettes or CDs before mp3, iTunes, and Spotify were invented. And to play them, we'll bring portable cassette players or CD players, which are quite large.

Internet connection

We're laughing at the young people who are moaning about today's poor internet connection. These kids have no concept what the internet was like back then. We had to wait several minutes for the connection to go through because we mostly utilized dial-up modems to access to the internet. Unsurprisingly, downloading things from the internet was excruciatingly slow. So you still think today's internet is terrible? You haven't seen how youngsters in the 1990s struggled with super-slow internet.

Using DVD instead of Netflix

In the 1990s, there was no Netflix. So, what did we do when we wanted to watch a movie? We literally dash to the nearest video store to borrow a VHS or DVD. You could think that's a pain, but that's how we do it. And this is one of the problems that 90's youngsters have to deal with.

Floppy disks

You can now save thousands of mp3, hundreds of movies, and other things to a single external storage device. However, prior to the development of external drives with terabyte capacities, we saved our contents on floppy discs. And how much data can one floppy disc hold? It has a maximum file size of 1.44 MB. That capacity is insufficient to hold even one mp3 file. When the floppies are no longer useful, we toss them into the air like Frisbees.
