When I was a youngster, we had to wait 3 whole minutes to long onto the internet.  I can still feel the anger and sadness when someone had to use the phone, therefore kicking me offline.  Oh, how I fondly remember the “dial up” days.  Technology has come a long way and it continues to expand and grow everyday.  Who knows what the future will hold for us?  Enjoy our little tribute to Throwback Thursday and reminiscence along with Networks Plus back to what we will call “The Dark Ages”.

 

Cell Phone:

 

1990: ah, the beloved “Saved by the Bell” Phone

2000: The “Brick” phone.  Playing snake was great—-as a side note, while you’re feeling nostalgic, Snake is now available in the App Store!

2008: “The Razor”

Today: The love of my life…my iPhone 6

 

Computers:

 

1980: The first release of the “home” computer

1990:  Notice the floppy disk drive?

1998: Can you Hear the dial up?

2008: Playing the Sims never felt so good on this Mac!

Today: Beautiful, lightweight, slim design! 

 

Television:

 

1950: You mean there was a time before the remote control? TV was broadcast in black and white during most of the 1950’s

1975: The Jefferson’s, M*A*S*H, and SNL all debuted in the 70s

1985: VH1 began broadcasting in the United states and we used bunny ears to get that signal “just right”

 

1995: Seinfeld was introduced in 1989 and it’s last episode aired 1998. Friends also started in the 90s and ended in 2004.

2005: Digital broadcasting was required in the United states in 2009

Today: beautiful flat screen with features that allow you to pause and rewind the TV and wear 3D glasses.

 

2015 has brought us many technological advances—-can you imagine what 10 more years will look like?
