4:40 I'm actually kind of really grateful for older stuff that used disposable batteries. So many old devices use their own proprietary batteries that are long gone and impossible to get replacements for today.

@@vine00 Guess I've been lucky that the replacement batteries I've needed have been available on ebay. Cordless phone nimh's, HP/dell/toshiba laptop batteries, 3.7v single cell nikon battery. I guess some older cordless drills might be a challenge. Can't say I've ever had to chase replacements for old cameras/camcorders. I'd probably make a dog's breakfast of disassembling old battery pack to replace the cells.

It's odd being a kid that was born in 2000, I still remember being so excited about my CD player. I had a walkman that I carried around until my last year of middle school before I got my first smartphone (which was a LG G2). Even then people would be like "ew what is that thing?". I had an IBM Thinkpad that we got for free from my mother's office job, it had the good ol' 4:3 display and was as thick as a brick. You could sink a warship with it if you threw it hard enough. In late middle school I finally got my first proper laptop, it cost the fam a whole whoppin' $450 buckaroonies. It ran Minecraft and that's all I cared about 😂 we also had landlines until about 2014, once those were gone I stopped remembering any phone numbers

Yeah man we had a weird transitioning era. There was a lot of the 90s stuff still passed down and not much was changing other than fashion trends, tv shows or music. Not all of us had high speed internet or even internet alone, I was lucky to have dial up until I was about 6 or 7. We used Windows 98 for quite a while, and DVDs were mostly a late 2000s thing for us. I think it was right around the mid 2000s when everything really started changing?

@@vine00 my experience was basically the exact same. For me it was the late 00s, early 10s when things noticably shifted. there was another shift it seems by the end of the 10s where nearly everything had become streamlined online and physical money, physical shopping, talking on phones, etc just kinda fadded

@@VermillionRacing I noticed technology shifting primarily around the mid 2000s but that might've just been a me thing. I do vividly remember everything changing by 2010 though. Like the difference between 2008 and 2011 was massive.

I grew up in an area that is still 15-20 years behind the current era. No fiber optic internet, 3G only service in many areas, almost no 5G at all. Many neighborhoods the only choices for Internet are dial up or ridiculously expensive satellite. Cable only in some areas. Still more neighborhoods that only have DSL as an option. There is still a TV repair shop selling refurbished black and white TVs. And that's now. When I was growing up (I was born in 2000 as well), basically the only Internet option was dial up and most computers around were still running win95 or 98 (in 2006). I never had TV growing up because my parents were cheap and listened to the radio. Many other people I knew also had no TV. Cable was insanely rare at that time and this area is too far away from a major area to pick up a signal on an antenna, unless you had a giant roof mounted one. I rarely even saw a cell phone of any type at school until probably around 2013-2014. Cell phones for adults weren't even super common until the mid-2010s. The house I lived in starting at around 4 years old (2004) had a party line for the phone with the neighbors house. So the same phone number went to both the neighbor's and our house and you had to wait for the neighbors to get off the phone if you wanted to use it. I've moved away from there since but it's changed since I was a kid. The whole area is getting filled with rich retired people and everything that was good is disappearing. Less and less stores to shop at that sell anything other than clothes, jewelry, or gifts for ridiculously high prices. Even supermarkets are disappearing and being replaced by useless stores. Schools are getting closed and demolished because the kids are disappearing. A town closed it's last school because their final class was only 14 students. The housing prices have shot up and it's looking less by the day like a place that's still stuck in the 80s/90s. Which was what was cool about that place. It was stuck in a bygone era seemingly perpetually. And now it's just another boring place filled with rich retirees that suck the life out of everything.

3:32 oh hell yeah! that blue translucent Koss cd player was the one i had in high school. i got it for Christmas from my mom. She bought it off The Shopping Channel in Canada, one of those 24/7 tv stations with a 1-800 number you'd call to buy whatever they were selling. While she hid the present, she left the bill out for me to see when i was cleaning the kitchen lol.

@5:50 I've got that very CD/MP3 player on the top right hand corner of the Dick Smith catalogue. At the time they were owned by Woolworths and I used my staff card to save some cash on it. I coveted it. The ear buds that came with it were pretty shit (but I guess all of them were at the time), when the cable broke near the ear piece, I just bought some $2 junk from the Reject Shop that had a really dodgy frequency response graph on the back of the packaging. The did the job. I recently found the player and it still had CDR in the machine. The last thing I was listening to was essentially a 650mb mixtape of crap downloaded from limewire. I think my next portable music device was the Sony Ericsson W810 Walkman phone.

Oh my God that giant LCD remote control, we had it. We used it because our normal universal remote was buttons and we wanted to try it out with the LCD when I was a kid. So my mom picked it up and it was actually pretty cool because every time you did something, the menu would be replaced with another menu to allow you to do stuff. Kind of like a phone. But the damn thing was heavy. at least heavy for a remote. But it sure did a good job at connecting with pretty much anything in their mother I mean, we literally connected that to a Sony dual cassette deck, and even a Sony record player. Not just any Sony record player, dual record player. It was cool. There were two record players glommed together, basically so as soon as one stopped playing, the next one would play and all you have to do is put the records on. so we made some crazy shit in the old days. Shame now they’ve gone the safe route and just make the same damn thing over and over.
