20 things we did not have in 1990
 

When the last England semi was

1. e-Mail (Corporate and Personal) – we talked more or wrote letters to people.
2. Internet/Google – we used encyclopedias or went to the library.
3. Mobile phones – we used phone boxes or land lines.
4. Facebook/Twitter/Linkedin – we met people in person.
5. e-Bay/Amazon/Marketplaces – we went to jumble sales, had garage sales or held on to it!
6. MP3 music/i-Pods – we bought vinyl or tape cassettes.
7. i-Pads/e-readers -we read paper books.
8. Youtube – we watched wrestling on World of Sport.
9. Wireless networks – we accessed computer networks at the office, not at home or out and about.
10. LCD displays/Plasma Televisions – we used huge clunky CRT’s and TV’s needed a full corner of a room.
11. DVD’s – we used video.
12. CD’s, CD players in cars – we listened to vinyl LP’s or the radio/cassette in cars. I didn’t get a CD player in my car until around 1996 from memory.
13. Sky TV – we only had BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and later Channel 5.
14. Dab Radio – we listened to conventional radio, often on Longwave.
15. PVR (Personal Video Recorders like Sky+) – we set times on video recorders.
16. SatNav – we used maps in atlases.
17. Skype – we used a normal phone.
18. Blogs – we kept secret diaries.
19. Digital Cameras – we used film and didn’t see the pictures until they were developed after a week or so.
20. Texting – seriously, we didn’t have text then. We talked.

Donald Trump in 1990 with unknown fan

Sky TV came out in 1990

and 99.9% of people did not have it

Mobile phones have been around since the 70’s

its not about when they were necessarily invented. No one had a mobile phone in 1990 save the odd millionaire

computers were invented in the 50s but in 1990 no one had one at home etc

Maybe you should change the thread title to: things most of us didn’t have in 1990 :hee:

Thanks

The unnecessary use of commas and dashes in the OP are giving me the fear.

No Sonic The Hedgehog.

In all fairness it wasnt just in 1990 we didnt have these things in my house we were so behind with the times. My mum and dad still are to be fair, its only when i left home i got things like a good phone, ipad, sky and wifi, a tv thst wasnt a massive box, etc. Suppose it depends on how much money you had as to when you caught up with the times and as soon as we did there had been like 5 upgrades of everything

It's like a, list of things Nicky isn't allowed after 6pm

:fan:

I remember satellite in early 90's, but maybe not 1990... I was only 5 :laugh:

Me too
