Hey! You want to hear something crazy? Did you own that at one point in time if you were wanting to listen to music you have to actually buy an artist's album and listen to it on a disc player? Crazy huh? Also if you wanted different artists on one CD you had to burn the songs onto a blank disc? Say what?! That's how I created my first playlist as a kid. Not simply pressing the plus sign on ITunes and clicking and dragging songs from my library. I had to physically choose what songs I wanted and then burn them to a blank disc. Also did you know that the USB is kind of a new thing? Well, back in my day there were these things called floppy discs. I know, they sound a little funny but those were how information was stored and transferred from one place to the next. Think about something the size of your palm carrying all this important info but the amount was minimal compared to what is available today. And guess what?! My Need for Speed was called Mario Kart on the N64! Instead of NOS we had toad heads and power stars and on Mario Kart even some turtle shells were involved. I probably sound insane but that's how it was. Oh the simplicity of being a kid growing up in the 90's. I even remember when cellular telephones were nothing more than a plastic brick with numbers only used to call people. None of the text messages or touch screens or phone games even existed. Man, back in my day, life was pretty simple.
