Cameras in general. Good quality film cameras took some work and were heavy. Like bookbag heavy. You’d have to carry a little set of filters (thin lens caps that screwed onto the main lens) in addition to another lens or two to get a good range of options. Now, tap, done. Copies? NP. Black and white? Tap. No need to use up the roll of color film and then switch to black and white film.

I'm late gen Z and when I first saw a 1TB micro SD in I too had a "Wow" moment. For me 1 TB was a rather big hard drive. What I want to say is that its insane how fast technology is developing.

This is the opposite. I was watching the transformers 40th anniversary in the theatre with my son and noticed in the 80's we had such a hard on for hover boards. In 2005 on earth Daniel had one. In back to the future it was 2015 and they had hoverboards.

Man we fucked up. I want my hoverboard.

That image has gotta be fake, right?

SDHC only goes up to 32GB and I'm pretty sure the successor SDXC only goes up to 2TB

I'm not quite sure how a card can be both U1 and U3 too

SD express should be able to surpass 2TB, but I don't know if 4TB micro SD express cards have been made yet

I'd have to imagine, if they were also into art, that they'd absolutely flip put over the tools for digital art, 3D modeling, and 3D printing. I mean, you can make a miniature 3D model for a project, make some textures to slap on it so you can get an idea of how you want it to look, print it, and then paint it to look like your textured model. All from your house, no less.

Though, for animation nerds, definitely the jump in animation quality. I wasn't alive back then, but when I look back at cartoons from then, I notice a few of cheap things occasionally used like solid colour backgrounds, stiff character movement, and repeated animations in certain areas to save on budget. Plus, the stories being told are a lot better, IMO, in general... despite some of the crud we get alongside the cream of the crop.

That advertisements would be used to disrupt and control your online activities.

Above knee, double amputees able to walk because of robot legs. This will always seem like science fiction to me.

me (1999): I just want 1GB of ram and 1TB of hard drive, I can't see a world where more than that would be necessary.

We were ripping DVD's to 200mb divx at the time and an OTA cartoon might only be 25mb because SD+compression.

Ultrabright LEDs

They were d a r k back then.

psychedelics (LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, etc) as antidepressants or PTSD treatment. It was demonized so hard during the 70s because the govt hates hippies.
