    Records!
    I grew up listening to my dad's record machines.....
  • Home Phone

    Home Phone
    This is how we had to do it.... now it's crazy to think that I had to be home in order to take a phone call..... and there wasn't even texting!
  • VCR

    This is how I watched movies as a kid!
  • Dial Up Internet

    This was the first internet I had as a kid. It took so much time to load and to use!!
  • DVD

    When we could move on to DVD's from VCR's and VHS's, it was a revolution!
  • Discman

    Discman
    I thought it was the coolest thing ever to be able to listen to CD's by strapping a Discman to my belt. It was my music go-to for mowing the lawn.
  • Ipod

    Ipod
    I was behind the times, but I eventually graduated to using an Ipod for music. I remember that I was blown away by the fact that I didn't have to stick to one album at a time, but I could mix however many albums I wanted.
  • Garmin GPS

    Garmin GPS
    It's how we had to find addresses! Nowadays we can just find it all with our phones on Google Maps. No extra devices needed.
  • Video/T.V. Streaming

    Video/T.V. Streaming
    When I got married, my wife and I started using Netflix and other streaming sites for TV and for movies. We hardly use anything else!
  • Music Streaming

    Music Streaming
    My wife introduced me to Spotify, and now I have no limit to what I can listen to, because I don't even have to buy albums or songs to listen to them. I can look up any song I want and listen to it on my phone or any device with internet and a speaker.
