Life before cellphones and internet.
Did you know in 1990 only .25% of the world’s population (12.5 million) had cellphones and only .05% (2.8 million) had internet?
It feels like we sacrificed local community and connection for global information overload and disconnection sometimes.
GenX, here. You are so very, very wrong. Phones and internet have made anxiety disorders endemic. We’re constantly bombarded with information, alerts, opinions, information and misinformation…
Young people have never experienced what it’s like to have privacy. To leave the house and be totally unreachable. To get answering machine messages that you had no obligation to immediately respond to.
I’m in big tech and helped develop all this shit. We made it addictive on purpose. I’d love to go back to how things were in the 90s, and I’m not waxing nostalgic. Things were objectively better before all this crap.

1990s internet. Yeah it had to start somewhere and a lot of them were butt-ugly for design. Now 2000s internet up until roughly 2009, that's the shit.

I miss old PC Games from the early 90's.
I've reinstalled all that I remember and they sucked, but back then, they didn't.
Worms!
Although I just looked that one up and they have been making new versions of it continuously so I don't know if it really counts as an old 90s game anymore.
It counts as a 90s game, but not an early 90s game.
Games really started to get much, MUCH better in '94 and '95.

I loved those things when I was a kid. So much fun to throw. We also had metal horse shoes

Was the king of alchopops
A buddy of mine owned a video game store that I worked at for a bit. The pay was crappy and the hours were unstable and random, but I do miss working there.
I do miss stores like that. We had so many random stores like video games, comic book stores, record stores and things like that. Even then, they wouldn't get rich there, but they at least seemed passionate about what they sold and their store was also kind of a hangout spot. Now rent has gone up like crazy and they got replaced by apple stores and other garbage shops.
