Artist Shows How Popular Apps Would Have Looked In The 1980s (13 Pics)

Mixtape!

This is 1880 not 1980

I would imagine Netflix as a video rental shop, because it's not just 1 film.

There are so many applicants for each job you apply to at LinkedIn, that you might as well throw your resume in a bottle to the sea.

(Well, I mean, literally "Pinterest" came from the idea of pinning things on bulletin boards.)

I miss snail mail.. but then, its not save to give your full address to strangers now

Try several volumes

Suddenly the logo makes sense

This doesn't work. As Hans points out the 3.5 Disk is more like a memory card. The closest to the iCloud would be a main frame computer system. Which the school system I use to work for uses a modern version. Teachers and students don't save things on their classroom computers, it's all saved on the district's main server. Many of the student computers are nothing more than a keyboard, screen, and a little box, with some USB pug holes, and a CD driver. There aren't any programs in them, just like a late 1960's to early 80's business computer system. In a great money saving move, the super attendant told the IT department not to buy a back-up server for like $800-$1000. Then server crashed. Over $10,000 to have an outside company try and recover the information, plus replace the crashed server and buy a backup. Many of the younger teachers lost all of their students grades, because everything was on the server. As well as all their lesson plans, test, work sheets.

Personally, I perceive Facebook as closer to the following children's hobby we used to have in my time. Someone would take a notebook, fill it with questions (1 question per page), and then pass it on for each classmate to answer, and have it returned filled with answers and maybe pictures from classmates and friends.

Another one I've not heard of... not surprising as I am a little tech-apps resistant.

Never heard of this- in either timeline.
