Even things not as old as the 80's that are still around like MIRC. I don't think a lot of young people know it exists.
I met my ex-wife on yahoo chat (we lived in the same zip code though) and now it doesn't exist anymore I heard due to pedos.
Maybe one day there will be a thread like this elsewhere and someone will say "remember gbatemp? neither do i"

I don't get it. They still do combined ovens and gas ovens, some even in more throwback styles than that.
I used VHS in my childhood; my family still has loads of the bulky things. Even used to have a VHS/DVD player, back in the day.
My childhood was the early 2000s, so.

What does the younger generation mean exactly?
I’m much younger than the majority of the users- (although that isn’t saying much considering there’s several active users around 70)
But I knew well what all of those were except for the America Online thing and the Britannica

It's not necessarily just age but it could be you had an older brother who was into things before you and he got you into them for example.
My uncle lived in the same house as me for several years and he had an Atari that he never played so I took it over, and that was how I got to experience it otherwise I might not have. But I was born in early 80s and there wasn't much from the 70s I ever cared about. I like Pink Floyd that's about all I can think of. There wasn't many video games in the 70s especially home consoles except like Pong and a few other things that just weren't very good.
But I do think for young people today the 80's and 90's are worth getting to know. I really think it was the peak of music and video games for the most part. Do the games from then look as good as today? Obviously not, but it's about opening your mind up to realize a game is more than graphics it's also about story, gameplay etc.... and that will never change. I have a PS4 and I will have a PS5 soon and I have a gaming PC so I am far from anti-games today but I also appreciate games from the past. I honestly think even if I were scott's age I still would have done the research and still be playing NES, Super Nintendo etc... because I tend to interest myself in good games regardless of how good they look.
Like I've mentiond and others have touched on in this thread I feel a bit bad for young people that never experience arcade games it was a social event tons of other gamers getting together and you could compete against someone you don't know but it was really cool. But even for home consoles it's more about playing online today than getting together and playing games. I think it takes away something that's hard to describe. Just experiencing games with other games in person it's kind of a thing of the past. Online is not bad but it's just not the same.

But for sure not that
Gas one from my Grandma (very,very,very similar)
the Electric One from my Mother (exactly how I remind)
That Betamax from my Uncle (that is exactly the Model)
my ITT Cassetterecorder (yes,that was mine,exactly)
and the Combined Music "Center" (not 100 Percent the same but very similar to mine)..
Do you understand it better now,my Friend.

Basic stuff like lives with less screen time! Play time was also spent outside with no phones or consoles.
And online gaming was limited or non-existent back in the day! Who remembers the cyber cafés/computer centers with LAN parties?

Yeah, I remember those days using MSN Messenger (with the Messenger Plus! add-on). Spent long hours behind the screen just typing and sending weird recorded messages to my friends.
It was seen as the successor to mIRC and ICQ back in the day (late 90's/early 2000's).
