Remember the early days of the internet? Before YouTube was ever a thing, before Netflix or Hulu or Facebook. What did we even DO back then?
Here are 10 pictures that will bring back memories of the good old days, when the dial-up was slow and life was simple.
1. Internet or no internet, we were all obsessed with Pinball and Microsoft Paint. Minesweeper was a bit out of our depth, but we tried anyways.
2. Photoshop will never live up to the glory of editing photos on Picnik.
3. When it would take literally decades to download something.
4. Remember how different the Sims used to look? With cheat codes, our Sims had the lives we dreamed of – until they accidentally died in a house fire, that is.
5. When iPods were too expensive, but our favorite songs were too irresistible to leave on our computers… that’s where digital MP3 players came in.
6. The allure of making yourself and your friends into Dollz, complete with the clothes and hairstyles you actually wanted.
7. MySpace was the place, and keeping our profiles fresh and fashionable was top priority.
8. Solitaire was neat, but nothing could beat the error-screen game.
9. We all needed copies of the songs we heard on the radio. And so, we lit our torches and ventured into the virus-infested dungeon of Limewire.
10. As we logged on to choose a new Windows icon, we were greeted by the sweet, sweet sound of the XP startup.
Ahhh, the good old days.
What will our grandkids think?
