Millennials Share 30 Things Generation Z Doesn’t Know About, And It Will Make You Feel Old

If you ever installed Windows 95 from floppies (many, many of them), you will not forget.

Good old Dial Up

My dearest Emily, Gettysburgs was hell. I would never have survived without your kind and generous mixtape.

I can hear my parents yelling at me to hurry up and close the window cause we are entering a long tunnel. Forget lifting weights, this was the arm workout.

Worst thing of all: You had to pay in order to find out how good or bad they were.

Young people also do not know that calling someone and asking 'where are you' is as young as mobile phones.

My best friend and I had a notebook full of notes that we would pass back and forth. There ended up being 2 volumes. We STILL have them (graduated in 95) and trade them back and forth every few years:-)

The container that held a role of film?

In Hungary 3 seconds talk were free. People looked like idiots calling for three seconds then calling back... that's how awkward mobile phone conversations was between teenagers and poor university students.

Now that's kinda dumb lol

You call this "struggle"? Pfffff..... try Windows 3.1. Or even better... DOS!

...and we were happy for having these three devices. Not everyone had them.

When I over out my parents made sure I got a phone plan with Verizon so all our calls and text would be free. That ended when I got a girlfriend and switched to T-Mobile so all our calls and text would be free lol.

Using a real map, probably an outdated one.

You have to keep in mind that this phone only could store tiny text messages.

Ahhh it was the best feeling.

don't need pause if you're switching letters

Rewind!

Twitter needs an update when people who shout (all caps) get a posting ban for 12 hours.

On to the wall in front of everyone - not on the ceiling.

Although payphones are out it's not been that long since they were everywhere

Snake.... sweet memories...

ahhhh I had a silver version of this exact one as a teenager....memories....

1955 is about close.

Read history about ancient Rome. Especially about Nero who lived in the ancient times and was the Emperor of Rome. He even burnt Rome beside CDs.

My siblings and I still call them Ghetto Blasters as if we were stuck in the late 70's.

Beethoven predicted the future too. His Symphony #9 is marvellous.

me, wakes up at 5 am to download some songs, because the internet provider is suck at normal times, and only got moderate speed at 2 to 6 am

You know what's crazy? Hospitals still using these because they are so easy to use. They notify you clearly, give you a quick overview of the urgency and let you decide to call back immediately or attend to what you're doing at that point first. Leaving the decision making with the actual person while not having to set a gazilion options only to forget to turn the sound on when you were needed to save someone's life.

This one is odd. Even two years old normally recognize those, but consider them toys instead of things an adult would use.

Yup! It was a panic trying to close it when your playing with your mom's phone 😂

Good Old Days.

It is crazy. Cable tv is crazy expensive and you still have to watch commercials.

Well, to be honest, a lot of people from older generations who have never used one would not know about the rotary thing.

I remember watching a movie that my father recorded and I accidentally pressed the record button, so he got like a 5 second clip of a commercial in the middle of the movie. >_<

NOOOOO! Don't ever do this! I used to cringe when I worked at Nintendo of America and kids would call in saying the game didn't work even after blowing on the connector. Your game isn't working BECAUSE you've been blowing on the connector. It makes the contacts erode. Best thing to use is a cleaning kit or an old t-shirt or tea towel and rubbing alcohol. Never use a cloth or q-tips that have the chance of getting stuck or fraying/leaving strands behind.

The Best!

We couldn't even search, just had to wait through the whole damn 'hit parade' to hear that certain one.

That show wasn't that good.

I'm 32 and I have no idea of what this is talking about

Pfft, I remember when my dad used to have one of the earliest cellphones, it was as large as a brick. And he had a pager for texting. It feels surreal how fast things have changed.

Not only that, it sharpens different sizes of pencils - the best!

Lol.. Casette tape.. and stop recording when the dj started talking..

My favorite band ever!! 😀😀😀😀 Can NOT wait to see them at Fenway in August!! *Edit- Crazy good album too!

...or hitting a key more than three times because you needed a special letter like an Umlaut.

And the movie was always one you'd already seen and didn't like ....

Imagine someone like at Walmart calling the police or the Secret Service because you paid with one of those.

yessssssss i had the purple one, which was like the only color option available

I wish I had one! Those things hardly break.

Any good candy store still carries these

Oh, you poor things! I saw a movie on Saturday in a theater if I was lucky.

That's a sign of a very fast development because Facebook is only 16 years old.

I would go to Blockbusters almost every day after school

I'm really old. We used to use a clothespin and a playing card in our spokes. Of course, we had more that three spokes too, so...

We did that too. But we had to rotate since we were shooed off every time we spent to long at the same hangout. The noise our heels made while banging them against the metal switch boxes would drive people crazy. Hmmm...those were the good old days....:-)

Still kind of the fact. Verizon wireless is still more expensive than anywhere else for absolutely no reason.
