I love being a Gen-X . It means I am old enough to remember a time when we didn't have the internet, the TV only had 3 channels, there were no cell phones and it was considered okay to just walk around your town looking for stuff to do. It makes me appreciate all the comforts of life we have today while also making me less anxious about life in general. people are so afraid of everything today but I still remember drinking from the garden hose and going to my friend's house without any actual w…

Remember the thrill of customizing your MySpace page with blindingly bright backgrounds and auto-playing your favorite song? Those were the days when expressing yourself online meant a glittering cursor trail and Comic Sans MS was a legitimate font choice. And let's not forget the legendary Minesweeper, the unassuming time-killer that turned us all into amateur bomb disposal experts. Or the iconic MSN Messenger, where emoticons were a language of their own, and 'nudging' someone was the height…

Back in my day, we faced hardships that would make today's youth quiver! You think your life's tough? Try dealing with the agonizingly slow dial-up internet - that screeching symphony was the soundtrack of our online struggles. And don't get me started on Blockbuster! You kids have your streaming; we had to actually leave our houses, drive to a store, and hope against hope the movie we wanted wasn't already taken. Then there were CDs, none of this digital download malarkey. You'd finally get yo…

The 1980s was a golden era for arcades, a time when the bleeps and bloops of electronic fantasies filled the air, pockets jingled with quarters, and neon lights beckoned gamers to their next digital challenge.

This listicle takes you back to that pixelated paradise, showcasing the greatest arcade games that defined a generation, each one a masterpiece o…

Bring Retrofuturism back!

Ahh, the 90s ! A decade shimmering with the glow of neon windbreakers, the sweet sound of boy bands, and the virtual cries of hungry Tamagotchis. But for every "totally tubular" moment, the 90s also brought us a unique set of frustrations, proving that even the best decades have their... glitches. Remember dialing up the internet only to hear the infamous screeching connection tone, fingers crossed no one would call the house phone and boot you off? Or the unparalleled dread you felt upon reali…

Let's take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to the early 90s. We might have grown up in a time when TVs were square and heavy, and the internet made a loud noise when you logged on. But we loved every minute of it. Life had a very specific taste back then, like powdered drinks and store-bought jello. We were a generation that still went outside to play, drank from the garden hose when we were thirsty, and called our moms on the payphone to ask if we could stay the night at our friend's house.…
