Screen Savers weren’t for saving power. The problem they solved was called Screen Burn-In. If your monitor displayed the same thing for too long, the image would start to burn into the screen. It would ruin the phosphors in the screen and basically leave a ghost of the image behind. Happened a lot to office computers where people would use the same programs over and over and the UI would get burned in. The Screen Saver kept the image fairly random to prevent this.

[@guysmiley4830]

I've seen CRTs used for security cameras for so long that they burned in the static image of the doorway or whatever location they were observing.

[@starscreamthecruel8026]

Not in the UK. You rent the movie, you bring it back to the store you got it from and they had a box inside the store to put returned rentals in so the staff could put them back behind the desk and the empty boxes on the shelves, to deter thieves.

Y2K was a real thing. The reason nothing appeared to happen is because so many people worked hard for years to fix the issues before it became catastrophic

[@heidichung2242]

Years of work was put in by IT professionals in the 90's to fix the thousands and millions of computer programs to ensure our digital society continue to function. And yet, all they get was a "oh it was a nothing burger, nothing happened". Duh!!! Nothing happened because they did a good job. They didn't even get a word of thanks.

[@chiaralistica]

​@@heidichung2242the year 2000 was able to be entered in many computers since the 70s. One good example is bank computers and mortgages. If you bought a house in 1975, your maturity date was likely 2005. Too bad nobody pointed that out.

[@heidichung2242]

@@chiaralistica many of those old program was"working" from the 70's was because there's logic in there to convert year 00 to 2000 - up to a point. I forgot the exact cut off year. But the logic goes like this, using 35 as example. Any year from 00 to 35 will be treated as 2000, anything over 35 will be treated as 1900. And obviously this is a ticking time bomb that had to be fixed. I didn't want to date myself, but I work in IT and had personally fixed some of the Y2K computer programs back in 1999. We didn't get over Y2K like magic. We got over it without fuzz by a lot of hard work from many many computer programmers.

[@SenileOtaku]

That was the comment I wanted to make too. The main reason it was an issue was because there were systems (not just computer programs, but lots of control systems) where we didn't *know* how a system handled dates. And if it couldn't handle a century rollover, what would be it's failure mode. Or even would there *be* a failure, rather than just limping along. So whatever could be checked was checked, whatever could be fixed was fixed, and sometimes it was seen as an opportunity to replace/update old systems. The problem was seen, and the problem was addressed.

Drove me nuts when my classmates would use the ones I'd left in the cabinet without asking permission. The iMac had become a staple in my high school's computer lab at or around my junior year, and I still remember how the Foxtrot comic strip made some surprisingly good jokes about how it didn't have a floppy drive. Working out, or studying, while listening to a discman was also something I did all the time before MP3 Players rolled in.

Sorry for your loss ❤

17:04 Interesting fact: Blockbuster had an opportunity to buy Netflix for $1 million, back when Netflix was a dvd-by-mail service.

[@Delita247]

Being born in 1992 makes me miss the 90s

[@Delita247]

@jermaineanthony7794 True but I remember going on computer to learn maths and so on

[@lizbriar9565]

Speaking of screensavers, I used to watch the pipes screensaver where a bunch of colored pipes would cover the screen and move and such as a kid. It was so mesmerizing that I found it entertaining. Now I was born in 1995 and went to school in the 2000s. Meaning that I only watched the screensaver when I was in school

[@Greenscyth22]

I worked at Hollywood Video during the rental store wars. We were competing against Blockbuster, West Coast Video and a few other smaller chains. Also the RedBox machines came out around that time too, which eventually turned into Netflix. I remember my manager really trying to get us to "Push the bundles" (Candy/snack/drink + movie) deals to get an advantage locally.

[@Gdub33]

I got a minidisc player in like 2000. It was revolutionary to me at the time. One of my mose favorite gifts ever received. Was obsessed wirh pogs as well.

[@kabluey_louie1718]

I VIVIDLY REMEMBER Pogs!! 🤣 I had at least 2 of those 4 foot tubes you'd put pogs in. And I also had a digital camera that needed a floppy disk to save the pix🤣

[@jlynn2724]

Did you keep them in the pocket of your JNCO's? 😂

[@artkid9279]

Games is what helped me alot in rental stores like blockbuster or Hollywood. Nothing was better then renting a video game you was either unsure about or couldn't afford just yet.

[@SensingClowns]

I still have all my pogs, and usually buy them if I see them in thrift shops or at yard sales.

[@ArkVogel]

9:56 it's not about conserving power. They're called "screen savers" because they protected CRT monitors from burn-in.

[@kendra.1]

I remember going to Walmart just to look for a non-skip diskman😂

[@vhagerty]

Wasn't it called 'earthquake proof'? Lol

[@NoNames-vw3bq]

I still have a portable CD player with anti-skip. I should put some batteries & a CD in it to see if it still works. It's in almost pristine condition as I took very good care of it. I don't remember the manufacturer brand though.

[@robertbuckley2429]

I was born in 86 and I used to read Gaming magazines such as the Dreamcast ones in 90s, Gamecube ones in 2000s and last but not least Wii ones also in the 2000s.

[@brettpilkington9539]

A Wii magazine sounds highly depressing

[@PFlegendary7]

What about disposable cameras? Nowadays those are rare and quite pricey!

[@LlorDrei]

I would definitely add Adobe Flash, started in '96... so many things lost when it went away... Games, pictures, and whatnot that will never be seen or played again that were truly great over the years.

[@someoneoncesaid6978]

3.5" floppy disks were indeed floppy. The shells that protect them are rigid, but the actual disks were made from the same "floppy" material as the 5.25" floppy disks were. They were called floppy disks because the recording medium was on bendable plastic material, which is different than hard drives, which have magnetic media on aluminum (or other metal) rigid platters.

[@jessodum3103]

Good. Somebody said it. Otherwise I was going to.

[@Chris-hr2uj]

I still got a bunch of blank mini disks. They were more pricy, than CDs, but held a TON more space and more compact/ convenient. Yep, had EGM subscription and Pogs. Good memories of all these things

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

Ooh, I miss gaming magazines

[@thedraftingax5963]

As do I too. I still keep my dad’s, though.

[@lordeflockatee3399]

There is still a Blockbusters jumbo sign up in my neighborhood that I’m convinced is only there to harass me to tears…. I miss you BB‼️😭😭😂

[@mjdf122]

I’ve Been Blessed To See All Of The 1980s To Now

[@qcfx2a]

PB Crisps! Thanks very much for reminding me! I ate these once when I was in high school, but I forgot what they were called. I only remember them being from the Planters company.

[@jasonolga-gk3zu]

Y2K wasn't an issue because we all went to work updating systems to prevent it from being an issue.

[@Lynn17]

#20: I had a dial-up modem until 2004, when my parents decided it was worth the extra money to have a faster connection. #19: BRING BACK BBs. (I should consider making some petitions to bring back these discontinued foods.) #15: I COLLECTED POGS. And slammers. Never played them but I loved the act of collecting. #13: I had a subscription to Nintendo Power. #12: I used floppy discs before I realized they were next to useless for storing what I wanted to. CDs were a godsend. #9: SCREENSAVERS. I used to love those things in general, though I typically preferred stars and shapes over the 3D maze. #8: DELIA'S OMG. I ordered a lot of makeup and accessories from them, but the clothes typically ran too small for my frame. And my length. #5: PB Crisps need to come back I stg. #4: I miss AIM so damn much. #3: I used Netscape on my school's computer. Then IE happened and that became my go-to for years before Opera and then Chrome. #2: I LOVED MY DISCMAN. No road trip for me was complete without it, the problem was trying to pick 5 out of my hundreds of CDs to take. #1: I remember Super Video Store from my childhood. We rented so many movies from there and sometimes ordered from the nearby Chinese restaurant to eat while we watched.

[@TightyWhiteyTrash]

I was waiting for this video, *WatchMojo* ! Thank you! 🙂 The 90s was the best time to be alive.

[@TrexelCat]

9:49 Fun little fact about the Windows 95 3D maze, it had a mode where you could actually play the maze yourself rather than just let the computer play it.

[@spongeyspikes09]

Ah the old dial up modem sound If there was anything equivalent to a Nam Flashback for 90s kids, its that sound

[@guysmiley4830]

it makes a great alarm sound on my phone

[@Sublicium]

That Justice League Unlimited reference was also some nice nostalgia lol

[@TrinityDivineMozart]

I remember some of these things in the 90's I was younger it's been so many ages ago wonderful times. 🙏🎼

[@123theprodigy5]

Me too, I’m so sad right now, what year were you born?

[@johnl6277]

Oh, I miss the floppy disk drive! I still had unused floppy disks until last year when I moved residences. I don't miss the dial-up modem at all: the sound still irritates me. Blockbuster was the go-to place to rent movies or games for potluck dinners with friends..

[@craigdennington9099]

I was born in 1983 so I definitely remember about 90% of these

[@25scigirl]

Great video and I loved the 90's too! I had to use the Internet at school and/or at the University because we could not afford to have it at home. I also enjoyed the Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia and I wish that we still had this today. I guess if they put it on-line and/or put the code into the box, that it would work and have new updated information. However, I do not think that would be very popular today because the Internet has more information now than it did back then. I had very few pogs and I gave them away. I do remember floppy disks because they stood out more than a USB drive. My dad said that he was an ancient dinosaur when I had to constantly remind him that we no longer use floppy disks(lol). I loved Delia's but not until the late 90's/early 2000's and I used AOL in the late 90's along with Netscape Navigator. My mom and I loved to go to Blockbuster sometimes which was always a special treat.

[@TheOmnisProject]

Top 3 things I miss from the 90’s 3. Good movies 2. Great music 1. Surge!

[@chadrowland5234]

One thing that was iconic about the 90s was the electro mechanical bells that we all grew up with in school. Nowadays school bells are all PA bells. It just doesn't have the same feel.

[@thechief00]

Nothing happened for Y2K because people had spent an entire year working to modify software to make sure it didn't happen. It really could have been a problem if nothing was done about it, but it wasn't because a lot of folks spent all of 1999 busting their butts to prevent it.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

Taco Bell too when it was good and affordable.

[@reconsoldier135]

I loved my mini disc player, I was certain they would replace cds because they were encased in plastic so it was basically impossible to scratch the discs and burning mixed discs was super easy, alas I was one of the only people I know who had one

[@hedayatsm553]

That CRT at 0:23 looks so beautiful! Looks really proper expensive.

[@darthrage8673]

I miss movie rental stores like Blockbuster and Hastings. Don’t know if you would call it from the 90s, but how about Saturday morning cartoons? I remember as a kid only having 5 channels and waking up early on Saturday to watch cartoons. It wasn’t streaming that ended it, but instead whole channels that were about cartoons and people getting access to more channels through cable and dish.

[@guysmiley4830]

Smurfs, gummy bears, muppet babies, Garfield and friends, the list goes on.
