Default 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.
