If you were born before the year 2000, then you probably feel like the world we live in now just doesn’t compare. Who can forget listening to CD’s that our best friends burned for us, watching all the 90’s cartoons, or waiting for someone to get off the phone so we could use the Internet? Ahh, simpler, more positive times, how we miss them so. We hope this list of all the things that existed before the year 2000 will bring you a sense of nostalgia and take you on a trip back to the good ol’ days.
Here are 30 things people born after the year 2000 will never understand:
1. Burning songs on a CD
2. The days of ring pops and developing film
3. How excited we got when this rolled into the classroom
