That’s a great question! As a late millennial, I can think of quite a few things that shaped my childhood and are now mostly gone:
Flip Phones: I remember the excitement of getting my first flip phone! Now it’s all about smartphones with touch screens.
MySpace: It was such a huge part of early social networking, customizing profiles, and connecting with friends before Facebook took over.
Blockbuster Video: The thrill of heading to the video store on a Friday night to rent movies and video games is a memory that feels nostalgic now with streaming services.
Landline Phones: Having a landline was the norm, and we’d spend hours talking on the phone with friends, often tangled in the cord.
CDs and Mix Tapes: Creating mix CDs for friends or that special someone was such a personal touch that you just don’t see anymore with digital playlists.
Toys R Us: The joy of roaming through aisles of toys with that iconic jingle is something I miss.
Dunking Donuts Cafes: Those wonderful little cafes where we would hang out with friends and enjoy donuts, now replaced by corporate giants.
In-Person Gaming: Playing video games with friends in the same room, sharing snacks and good times rather than through online sessions.
