30 Pics From ‘No Context Nostalgia’ To Take You On A Walk Down Memory Lane

The double cassette player, so you could record your favorite songs from your other tapes onto one mix tape.

Missing from pic are the two removable speakers that could also attach back on to make a big boom box.

Waiting for the radio to air your favorite songs to press record!

It was music paradise, spent so many hours with it !

OOOOOHH - dual tape deck

I still have a bunch from my childhood :)

Saggy Baggy Elephant.

My parents still have those books and I remember when I was little reading those books!

I still have a lot of these books

Lol, the back of a little Golden Book!

Lowly Worm!!

One of our big favourites in my family!! All the way over in Sweden

I still have the massive book of short stories!

Lowly Worm!!!

LOWLY ! That you !?!

Paint is still around. They tried to evict it, but it claimed squatter's rights.

I use Paint to create software mockups for a NASDAQ-trading company, my boss uses Illustrator. Mine look nicer. I take screenshots from existing areas of the product and manipulate them so they look exactly how the end-product will look. His are wireframe only. He watched me work on a mockup one day on Teams and said he was in absolute awe of how I can use Paint! I was born in 87. What do you think I did for entertainment when I was younger?!

Still fun.

I still use it a lot! It is such a nice and easy program, and free!

my middle baby uses this! :D

You'll live on in my heart forever. I'll never forget you 🥹

Still got mine

We still use these at work for mostly internal communication. Mine has a 🍌 yellow case.

Ah the phone with the cover to protect the floor!

Yow

This would still be practical if they made it wide enough to accommodate two 27" monitors.

Actual Desk > "Computer Desk"

Everything in one place, but nowhere you could reach it.

Except for the printer, all of this fits into average smartphone

Wish I could have had this.

Yes! This was so fun! Til the ball was shredded from unsticking it from the velcro so many times.

Still being sold in the Netherlands every summer.

These can still be bought from any beach kiosk world wide

I remember these being on my school playground, but nobody ever playing with them lol

We had these and they were actually fun. In fact, there's a fair to middling chance, if I rummaged long enough, I'd probably unearth them in my parent's attic. It's surreal to think that my generation was the last to grow up without the internet. We didn't get a computer until I was in high school. As a kid, we'd play with toys like this to pass the time. Outside. All afternoon. Twas but one rule: be home before the streetlights blinked on. If I'm being completely honest, I think life in general was just better before Al Gore invented this series of tubes called The Interwebs. It was a simpler time and life I wish I could relive. 🤷
