Technology changes faster than a lot of people can keep up with, but that was especially the case for the last bit of the 20th Century. From the 80s to the 2000s, things got really different really quick, and as these 12 things show, sometimes our childhoods are already pretty outdated.

Saving things to a floppy disk

Having to rewind a movie after you finish watching it.

Typing text messages on a T9 keyboard

Having to buy a magazine to find out when the show you wanted to watch was going to be on

Seriously, even we barely remember having to do some of this stuff...

Changing the channel with one of these bad boys

Getting this message on a TV screen
