These things that we used to do when we were young and which have completely disappeared today

There are certain habits that we had when we were little and which, unfortunately or fortunately, no longer exist today.

"It was better before! "You've probably heard this phrase from your parents at least once in your life. Now it's your turn to be nostalgic for your primary years when those habits you had as children were lost with time. A little throwback to those things we all did and disappeared.

Telephony has changed a lot

5G, Internet directly in your pocket, Netflix in high resolution during your visit to Grigny Center station on the RER D. .. A banality. In 2022, being able to surf the web, send large files, and make FaceTime calls is normal. But not so long ago, you paid for every text message.

You most certainly remember the mythical excuse "sorry, I have no more credit ", for not having answered one of your friends at college. For those who were going to summer camp, aren't you nostalgic for the telephone cards to be inserted into the terminals so that you can tell your parents about your day at school? the pool? And speaking of telephony, you remember the game "Snake " on 3310? We knew how to have fun with little at the time.

    Television and its possibilities

    "Netflix and Chill" seems to be the norm these days but it will never replace a "we're going to Video Futur, are you coming? " to choose the program for the evening. The video club, this place that put glitter in our eyes when we were little. The richest had the famous huge and very ugly CANAL + decoder with the white card to insert.

    The latter that had to be manipulated for several minutes to properly capture the encrypted channel. And who doesn't remember the glorious days when you put on your VHS of your favorite alien movies into your VCR to watch the latest movie? Rewinding, what a pleasure.

    CD and MP3 are the key words

    Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer didn't exist at the time and to listen to the latest albums, you had two solutions:buy the CD or burn your friends'. Blank discs with large black marker writing "CD- LIMP BIZKIT - SIGNIFIANT OTHER ". For the oldest, you remember the "2 titles", these singles with two songs on them in their legendary cardboard sleeves.

    Then on the phones of the time, listening to music was a difficulty, you had to go through your USB MP3 player to be able to spend your time in the bus quietly. Thank you MP Man for bringing so much joy to millions of children.
