    31 Nostalgic Technology Snapshots We All Have Stored in the Back of Our Collective Hard Drive

    Call me crazy but it feels like the early 2000s just happened Like, not too long ago. I feel like there is absolutely  no way we are already 24 years into the new millennium. I distinctly remember plugging the cord out of my landline and connecting it to the back of my computer every time I wanted to log on to the internet. I remember having a giant CD case in my car, filled with dozens of CD that I burned myself. 

    And our cellphones used to have buttons! remember that? they all had lots and lots of buttons, until the iPhone came along and made buttons a thing of the past. By the way, do any of you know what happened to that weird sound our computer speakers used to make just before we got a call on our cellphone? I mean, it used to happen all the time and I haven't heard that specific noise in… hmmm, yeah… it's been 20 years.
