    Ipods replaced CD players
    I remember when ipods first came out. Everyone was so excited to have portable music they could download, and listen to whatever they wanted without having to worry about a CD player. MP3 players were also popular at this time too. Limewire viruses were a nightmare.

  • My first game system

    My first game system
    This was the first game system I remember playing. It helped form an even better bond with my parents because we could play mario games that they played when they were kids.

  • AIM Instant Messenger Connecting with friends

    AIM was a way for us all to connect with each other whether it was about gossip or homework assignments. We had a better way of connecting with one another aside from the dreaded phone call to home where we had to speak to their parents.

  • Myspace and Coding

    While Myspace became a way to connect and form friendships with each other online, it also became a sandbox for learning how to code HTML so we could make those cool backgrounds and customize our profiles.

  • SmartBoards

    While Smartboards came out in 2003 for classroom use in most schools, my school did not get one until about 2008. I remember our history teacher and all of us playing on the SmartBoard trying to figure out how to work it.
