Same here dude being born in 2000 we got to see the evolution of technology at its peak, went from flip phones to the iPhone, watched social media take over, and got to live without a screen for a few years. It’s crazy now how kids get a phone when they turn like 10, I feel lucky to have been able to live through the last few years where tech wasn’t absolutely everywhere. Don’t get me wrong I love having access to all of it but I’m glad I got to experience the final years where it wasn’t all consuming. It will never be like that again 😪

Your childhood would have been Vine on a iPhone 5 so that means your childhood was the same as kids today with TikTok on a iPhone 13. Why then do you have a superiority complex over small children who are growing up with a slightly better version of what you grew up with? That would be like me saying that my childhood was better because I grew up with PS3 rather than PS5 even though they are the same thing just an older version. A boomer would think they are the same as they are the same thing.

As a 00's kid seeing society changing so much in a matter of 20 years is almost scary. It makes the 00's seem as the ideal time. No social media, no internet on our phones. Kids would play outside and hang out without phones, the only tech we had was our game consoles. We weren't netwired 24/7 or consumed like technology like today. We got to live, and be children. Kids nowadays grow up so differently, and so much faster. I was blessed to be a kid in that era..

[@CCoreOW]

Legit. I was born in 2000, and I didn't even get internet until I was about 11 years old. Before that, we had an internet dongle (Does anybody nowadays even know what they are?) that we used to plug into my sisters laptop that she borrowed from school and never gave back. It had windows XP on it, and we used to play minesweeper and space pinball on it. Going on youtube using that dongle was my first introduction to Owl city's other songs, since "Fireflies" was always on the radio back then - He's still one of my favourite artists to this day. My first phone was a brick that you had to press the numbers multiple times to get 1 letter, and I barely even used it. My mum and sister would literally just text me "I love you" every now and again and that was it. I played outside with my brother and our friend at the time, and we used to climb trees, have stick sword fights, or play on the trampoline. I used to collect yugioh cards and we used to play against each other. I had a DS and a wii and stuff, but I only played on it when I wasn't out. I used to think having 100 hours on my pokemon platinum save was an insanely long amount of playtime, yet now I have thousands of hours on some games. I used to watch monsters inc on repeat on VHS for some reason, and yet, it's been so long since I've seen it that my memory of the film is pretty foggy. It's mad how different it is today. My nephew, who is 10 years old now, had a smartphone when he was like, 6 years old. I got my first smartphone at 17 (Granted that was still pretty late by that time, most people I know had one at about 13 or 14. It was 2018 when I got one haha). He basically never goes outside, he's always playing on his playstation. He doesn't know what a VHS is, and doesn't even know the difference between a CD and a DVD. He's never known life without the internet and social media, I'm pretty sure he has had an instagram account for years, despite 13 being the minimum age for it, and he's always on tiktok. Some of the things he says and does baffle me for a kid that age. It's like kids today just don't want to be kids - they get ashamed of it. It's really sad. I'm very grateful we got to grow up in pretty much the last time period where kids just got to be kids and weren't exposed to all the crap on social media.

Going to high school before anyone really had phones and shit was awesome.

They would also have access to the PSP Slim (2000 model) and the Nintendo DS Lite, some of the best handhelds in history. The PS3 was a very cheap BluRay Player, and it had some of the best single-player games of its time. The Nintendo Wii had a couple good games, and it was mostly great to keep guests entertained, or the odd mum or gran. The Xbox 360 had the best Online Multiplayer and great third-party titles. Not to mention that PC Gaming was potent and affordable during that era (Core i5-2500k, AMD HD7950). The DS Lite can play most of the Gameboy Advance games, can be hacked and play other systems too. The same could be said about the PSP Slim, a technological marvel. It was easily hacked and made for the best pocketable device of its time. That and your hand-me-down phone of that era, which was probably a Nokia N95. Kids in that era would've moved to High School or University. They would have moved to using new things like the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. PC Gaming was still sizeable at that time (Core i7-3770k, AMD R9 290). But consoles were on the downtrend with the likes of the new3DS and the PS4, both decent systems but not as magical as before. It's not all bad news because in this period you wouldn't have much time for those games anyway, since you would be doing more activities, studying, work, or just the explosion of the internet's social media or KZbin. If you were lucky, you had young-X or old-Y generation parents, and maybe as a gag they participated with you in the early Bitcoin craze... this could've led to a lot of profits, potentially even paying off your parent's house mortgage.

I grew up with Gameboy Advance and Gameboy AdvanceSP. I didn't have a DS but I did get a Nintendo Wii when I was 12. I remember transitioning from VHS to DVD and from dial-up to broadband internet. I grew up with powerhouse/city era cartoon network and would come home and watch kidsWB. Razor scooters, Bratz dolls, Pokemon, and Yugioh were all the rage and almost every kid had a Beyblade. I witnessed Rugrats in Paris, Shrek, Finding Nemo, and all the Harry Potter movies come out in theatres.

To some people y'all might think that's kinda crazy but to me it's not. I grew up playing with toys, going outside and playing with my friends. I remember going to the Walmart and telling my mom I'm going to the toy section or the game section, she'd always knew where I was at. I would just stare up at the TV hurting my neck, playing games that I knew I could not get.lol. For me growing up. I was really into cartoons. Cartoon network was the shit!!! Yea 80s and 90s kids y'all may had a better generation to grow up in, but for us 2000s we had the best cartoons. The original teen titans, camp Lazlo, ed edd Eddy, chowder, kids next door, the tall red character and the fat blue guy, y'all know what I'm talking about, billy and Mandy, etc Disney channel was good and so was nickelodeon, sometimes when I didn't have cable I was stuck with pbs kids. Not gonna lie I hated pbs because I found it boring , but I liked Thomas,Clifford, Bob the builder, WILD KRATS, it's a big world, reading rainbow, . My favorite show was the wiggles. You know what's crazy . I have a niece, she's 5 yrs old. I asked her do you like cartoons, she said no she likes to play on her tablet. I looked at her like WHAT!!!!! you don't like cartoons!?. It's crazy if y'all have a little sibling or cousin or nephew or niece, if they like cartoons if they have a tablet they probably will say no. That's how crazy times are now. We grew up with cartoons. Nowadays kids like "KZbin KIDS". CRAZY My favorite toys growing up were beyblades and tech decks. BRO IDD WHAT NO BODY SAYS BEYBLADES WAS THE BEST TOY EVER!!!!! AND TECH DECKS USED TO BE SOO POPULAR THEY USED TO HAVE TOURNAMENTS. Silly bands were cool too. Then the rubber bands that you could make a bracelet with were pretty cool.

Being born in 1997, this was nostalgic as hell. I remember going to my friend's house to play Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 on the PS2 and had a blast. I also got into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise with the 2003 series and loved the turtles ever since. I had so many great memories of that era.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and the 2000s before smartphones was really the last generation of children to know what life was *mostly* like before things changed so much. Going back into the early 90s and late 80s, no Internet was pretty amazing.

[@FullMetalFeline]

I was born 93 and my mum did her utmost to keep the internet out of the house as long as possible. I didnt have access to a computer for anything other than Age of Empires until I was 13. Really grateful that I got to experience what life was like without it, I think people born in the early to mid 90s really were the last to have concrete memories of that time.

As someone born in 1995, it was an odd phase as I grew up feeling nostalgia over the late 90s and pre 2005 era.

I was born in the early 90s, but everything you said is so relatable even if my 2000s were my teen phase. Now that I look back, I consider myself lucky to being able to play outside while getting used to all those new techs along with my childhood friends... And oh boy I do remember VHS and cassette tapes along with CDs! The 90s-early 2000s decades personally my golden era I still look back at out of nostalgia. Don't know why, but if I try to think about the 2010-2020 eras, all I see is just grey and decay.

[@Basegud]

I was born in 2006, and from that point to the first few years of the 2010's, oh it was fire. Hide and seek inside was insane, you'd find this cracked hiding spot like in the closet or something. On a friday night or something you'd build one of those couch/blanket forts with your siblings and play games. Oh it was certainly a great time to grow up, great video man!

[@DC2_Danny]

We had such similar childhoods. Hiding the DS under the pillow, VHS Tapes, the Windows XP PC, Wii games and eggo and landline (that my parents still use) and watching cars on repeat. I watched cars everyday and was mesmerized by cars in general. It’s what made me a car nut.

It’s strange to see people as nostalgic of the 2000s as I was. Although I don’t remember everything, my parents did. I used to watch movies on repeat as I had the original Cars TV, then watched channels like Disney Jr and Nickelodeon on the big family TV. I remember bringing my DS (and later 3DS) with me to school or leaving if it in the car for after school. I’m even one of the few kids who used VHS as I watched it while visiting extended family. It’s funny that I live with some 2000s if not the 90s to this day. My TV is an early 1080p TV from 2008. My first laptop is going strong being used by my extended family, with my latter laptops being from the mid decade still useful today. I use a portable TV from ‘99 and a similar VGA monitor from ‘98 to play games and watch movies. I even had some fun playing the DS and Wii with friends last year.

Being born in the early 90s in Mexico right as the economy collapsed was a trip. It’s like we were lagging a few years behind the US. I remember my family having a rotary phone, a black and white TV, a typewriter I used for homework, and a bunch of other tech from the 70s and 80s. I didn’t see a computer until the late 90s when I was almost 10. It feels like my childhood happened in a completely different era and it was nice.

'03 kid here and holy shit this video is so nostalgic! EVERYTHING in this video was spot-on! I had a DS and a Wii, dad at first had Windows XP then eventually moved to Windows 7, grandma had an old Windows 98 pc in her house with Microsoft BOB installed, and I had like 30 games. Also when I was a very VERY young child I had a V-Smile. I'd watch a lot of VHS tapes and DVD movies. When I was very young I had a camera that used floppy disks for storage. Had a whole bunch of board games, made forts a lot, would play hide and seek a lot, loved to play with blocks, loved to play outside when I was at my friends' house because they had a proper backyard and playground and even a little playhouse in the shed, I loved to play a lot of online free games as well as watch videos on early KZbin… I could go on and on!

I was born in 2002 , 2000s was just a amazing to be a kid . There was a a perfect balanced . Now a days kids just mature too quick and behave way worse. Everbody i played with would get along. I remember on weekends i would look random youtube videos, everyone that posted a youtube video, just wanted to share there video to the world , now people who upload just want to generate revenue . I watched youtube on my dads windows XP laptop, that makes me very nostalgic . Sometimes when i would go to my moms meeting and my mom friends would also bring there kids , so i used that oportunity to bring my dsi and everbody would bring there ds too. Pictochat , Mario kart , Mario Party, new super Mario bros. Once we played for while we played tag . My Dsi still works from 2010 i dont really use that much since i have the switch but each time i open the album on the dsi its a time machine when i was a kid.
