Life has changed a lot in the last couple of decades. The major reason behind this change is innovation and the fact that technology has grown by leaps and bounds and has surpassed all previous highs. The youngsters of today don't know a lot about what their elders did and here we look at some things they would never understand, no matter what you teach them.
While games can be accessed on the fingertips now, things weren't as easy as this back in the day. Here's a picture of the rigmarole that had to be created every time you wanted a good experience playing something as simple as Solitaire.
The OHP was probably the most overhyped equipment back in the day. It was considered to be the coolest thing in town and whoever controlled this was considered as the most powerful and innovative person in the class.

However, the sessions on MSN weren't really continuous and elongated, because you were always needed to eventually log off because your mom wanted to use the phone for calling someone. This was a big hindrance in its use.
Limewire was the perfect place for downloading a song or a music audio file, and everyone would throng it with their perfect music. It was really good until you realized that it was a radio version with the DJ speaking in between.
A lot of people back in the day started learning HTML in a bid to make their Myspace profile look better and more pleasing to the eye. This hack would make people attract more friends on the cool social networking site.
