Never forget 90s Tech

I was born a Gen Z 😆 and I still remember those techs I found out while growing up, the 90s tech was really amazing and cool. I played games with consoles and PlayStation. MP3 was also one of the tech I make use to play my songs.
 
My first computer was a WebTV which was either mid to late 90s. It was later acquired by Microsoft and renamed MsnTV.

It was a computing device you plugged into your TV.

You could do a little bit with it but not a whole lot. I definitely don't miss it. LOL

Yeah, it is amazing how fast tech evolves. Somewhere around the corner, I have some old CDs sitting around and some old VHS tapes.

Vinyl records and players is another set of tech which has a big impact worldwide. It's making a little comeback more than CDs recently.
 
The 90s in the world of technology was something else. I still recall dial up internet and so many other things we thought was the best then. Well, It's amazing how tech has taken a turn.
 
I have my Pokemon Red on the original Gameboy in my display case. The sticker is a bit faded because I have very sweaty hands.

Admittedly, I still use a pager. It's not my pager though. In the hospital, we are required to use pagers for codes. But it's pointless because all the codes I am required to go to are all broadcasted on the intercom and if there is a code that I do need to go, I will get a notification on my from from the hospital texting app.

Sure, I totally agree with you because the 90s tech vibe is something very special. I grew up with a chunky Game Boy and dial-up internet, and those memories still stick like glue. 😂

I was born in 1990 so right at the beginning of the decade. 😀 I loved playing my Gameboy color and eventually got a Game Boy Advance. (Yeah I know that's not a 90's device since it was released in 2001. 😛) Technology really seemed to evolved quite rapidly in the 90's, the internet became widely available to everyone and in the mid to late 90's lots of awesome websites were founded. I have to say my favorite tech from the 90's is probably the PC, they were much more capable than the microcomputers that were released in the late 70's and throughout the 80's.

I was conscious enough to meet the VCR being used in our home for a year or two before they were replaced with Compact Disc Players. I remember that we used to have a winder that we used with the VCR cassette to straighten the tapes when they were twisted.
 
I was pretty excited to own a pager. Bur sadly I couldn't continue to subscribe for the service because the charges were very high and I was just a student.
 
I think it is pagers and the brick mobile phones that stick to my memory when it comes to technology in the 1990s era. They actually laid the foundation for the several devices of communication technology that we have now.

I was born in 1995 right on the cusp between the Millennial & Generation Z while i have mixed opinions on what I think about demographic labels they’re not a science but popular so its there if anyone wants to know 😀
I’m born in the 90s but mostly grew up in the 00s.

The 1990s were a time of rapid technological change, with new gadgets and devices emerging at a breakneck pace. For those of us who grew up during that era, the memories of those early tech products are still vivid and often nostalgic. Here are some of the most memorable tech products from the 90s that we still remember today.

1. The Walkman
The Sony Walkman was one of the most iconic tech products of the 90s. It allowed us to take our music with us on the go, and it was a must-have accessory for anyone who wanted to listen to their favorite tunes while out and about.

2. The Game Boy
The Nintendo Game Boy was another hugely popular tech product from the 90s. It was the first handheld gaming console that allowed us to play our favorite games anywhere, anytime. Whether it was Tetris, Super Mario Land, or Pokemon, the Game Boy was a constant companion for many of us.

3. The VCR
The VCR was a game-changer for movie lovers in the 90s. It allowed us to record our favorite TV shows and movies, and we could watch them whenever we wanted. It was also the first time that we could rent movies from the video store and watch them at home.

4. The Pager
Pagers were the ultimate status symbol in the 90s. They allowed us to stay connected with our friends and family, and they were a must-have accessory for anyone who wanted to be seen as cool and connected.

5. The Tamagotchi
The Tamagotchi was a virtual pet that we could carry around with us wherever we went. It was a huge hit with kids in the 90s, and it was a great way to learn responsibility and take care of something that was completely dependent on us.

6. The Discman
The Sony Discman was the successor to the Walkman, and it allowed us to listen to our favorite CDs on the go. It was a great way to take our music collection with us wherever we went, and it was a must-have accessory for anyone who wanted to be seen as cool and tech-savvy.

7. The Personal Computer
The personal computer was already well established by the 90s, but it was still a revolutionary product that changed the way we work and play. It allowed us to connect with the world in ways that we never thought possible, and it paved the way for the

That Game Boy mention brings back so many memories. There was something special about the simplicity of those gadgets compared to everything being on a smartphone today.

I can’t claim to know anything about the 90s I grew up in the 2000s but there’s overlap in what we had
