This Hilarious Supercut Of 'Ancient' Tech On Oprah's Favorite Things Will Make You Feel Old

By Tanya |

It's always a bit hilarious to watch old technology being worshiped, mostly because you can remember being those people. We all wanted the first blackberry or iPod, but now we look back and realize how much everything has changed.

Someone has made a supercut of a bunch of Oprah's Favorite Things that now seem extra hilarious. Here were the some of things that made us laugh:

       Giphy    

Flip Phones

She was so impressed by the fact that people could take pictures with their phones! Do you remember thinking that was incredible?

Wireless Emailer

Before our phones could easily send emails over Wifi, you had to have a tiny little device that would be just for sending emails!

The first iPod

How badly we all wanted one.

GPS

This thing was almost $1500! Now you get it included in every phone you buy!

Ebook

Back then 20 books sounded like a lot to carry with you! Now you can have thousands.

DVD Camcorder

Once again, now you can take HD videos with your cell phone, but back then it took a lot to be able to make memories last a lifetime!

Polaroid Joycam

Polaroids have recently made a come back, but this was back in their hay-day. Seeing pictures in an instant had an appeal that obviously took over the photography world.

Blackberry

I feel like if someone got a free blackberry today they wouldn't be nearly as thrilled as these people were. I love that she calls them "e-mail messages" and has to point out that it is also a cell phone.

Check out the rest of the items from her favorite things over the years that have become much less exciting. The best part is the people's reactions, they are truly thrilled and you know you would have been too! Share if you remember wishing you could make it to one of the Oprah's Favorite Things shows.

4 Superhero Costumes With Hidden Meanings You Never Knew

By Awa
Aside from their special abilities, a superhero's costume is an important part of their identity. While the colorful costumes were created to catch the reader's eye, there's more to them than meets the eye. There are a lot of tiny details, hidden symbols and meanings that many of us have probably never noticed. Here are 4 superheroes whose looks have hidden meanings you never knew: 1.

The True Story Behind "The Sound of Music" Is Even Better Than Whiskers On Kittens

By Jon
When Julie Andrews brought the sound of music down from the mountains and into our hearts, she brought with it a love for the real-life von Trapp family, who the story was based on. The movie follows the autobiography of the real Maria von Trapp, who was a nun that became a part of an Austrian family before the Nazi occupation in World War II. The film accurately portrays a lot about their lives and demeanor, but in Maria's published memoirs (that the film was based on) it is easy to see how much becomes simple Hollywood figment. Here are

10 Foods From Our Childhood We're Surprised Haven't Been Banned By Now

By Meg
Growing up, we were exposed to a lot of foods we probably shouldn't have been. We didn't necessarily have any of this "all natural organic free range sung to sleep by angels" food that people eat now. We ate what was given to us and didn't worry about the consequences. That being said, there were some pretty questionable foods from back then that are still eaten today, and we're not quite sure why. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these foods should go away, I'm just saying I'm surprised they haven't. 1. SPAMEaterAs a general rule of thumbs, I

6 Movies That Caused A Lot Of Trouble When They Were Released

By Alex
Movies are supposed to entertain you. They are also supposed to elicit an emotional reaction out of you, whether it be: happiness, sadness, fear, joy, anger, contempt or any number of others. That's the great thing about movies and television, you can essentially do whatever you want because you are just telling stories, that is unless you do something that gets the masses up in arms over what you have created. Some movies are hit the big screen to such controversy that they actually inspired protests. Some were even banned in certain countries because they were deemed to be far

1994 Best Buy Flyer Reminds Us Of Simple, Yet Terrifying Times

By Meg
Before the internet was super available, we had flyers (or paper inserts). We waited for that blessed Sunday paper when we could see all the upcoming deals. And when it was Christmas time? Look out. Those bad boys were getting cut out and glued to another sheet of paper, then promptly mailed off to Santa. Even though it doesn't seem like that long ago, the technology in 1994 was...less than ideal. What we thought was groundbreaking now seems like the stone age. This paper insert from Best Buy is no different. It's from the week of October 23, 1994,
