As a reminder for anyone born from 1980-1999

[thecrow2313]

I was born in '81 and I remember frequently having to upgrade everything.
Cassettes -> CDs
CDs -> MP3s
VHS -> DVD
DVD -> Blu Ray

Plus now I sound like an old man when I complain that cars need physical knobs and dials. Why does everything have to be a screen?

I was born before 1980, I'm glad I didn't have to see all of that

Well, to be fair, high tech folks had a bit of a panicked rush to change the time formatting so important computers didn't overflow and ruin scheduling in a way that it would lead to loss of life. 64 as opposed to 32 bit if I recall.

Oh, that does sound like a big deal, but (just in context to where I was at) I was 8 years old entering the year 2000.

we are waiting for the final bell to toll for the end of human race. nuclear war will happen and we will all die. that's the only thing that will happen in the future. humans have already reached peak vanity, greed, and immorality. no one has any empathy anymore. i want to see it all end.

I still have my Canon mini DV camera that I purchased for $2,000 back in 2004. Now you can get a camera for less that $100 that can shoot far better video.
