The Great Tech Extinction

Commemorating the fallen tech we used in the 90s and 00s.

Floppy Disk

Our first data carrier. How many disks did it take to install Wing Commander II again?

CRTs

From the TVs to the computer monitors, these were some much-loved but heavy beasts.

CD

We'll miss you, but the number of CDs it took to carry a decent selection of music...

Gameboy

The hours I put into the Pokémon games... But hey, I managed to catch 'em all eventually.

Walkman

Can you believe I somehow managed to fit one of these in my school skirt pocket?

DVD

They took up a lot less space, but we were always forgetting where we left the DVDs.

MP3 Player

As compact as they were, the prioprietary software and file formats were a pain.

Landline

Those days when another could pick up a receiver and start dialing while we're in a call.
