I thought this was going to be 10 things that changed in high schools since we were in high school. My first thought was high schoolers with cell phones. When I was in high school, it was rare for a student to have a pay per minute phone that was kept in a car or something for emergencies. Nobody used cell phones socially when I was in HS (the pay phones actually still got use).

I didn't specify where specifically the changes occurred. It can be anything. TV, high school, movies, video games, social interactions, politics, cars, etc.

Bubba Sparxxx was a big hit with Ugly, since then he's not heard about.

The year I graduated Finding Nemo just came out, they still haven't made the sequel yet.

In 2003 10 million protesters spread out across 600 cities protested the war in Iraq peacefully. You can't find unity like that today.

In 2003 MySpace was launched. No one gives a f*ck about MySpace now and everything is Facebook, Instagram, etc.

All I can think of off the top of my head.

pretty sure the Nintendo Wii is a success.

it has an entire audience all to itself while the Xbox and Playstation compete against one another. I wouldn't be surprised if it earned a greater profit than either of those others.

When I was in high school, it was rare for a student to have a pay per minute phone that was kept in a car or something for emergencies. Nobody used cell phones socially when I was in HS (the pay phones actually still got use).I graduated in 2002. Cell phones were just coming along. My sophomore year I used to have to call my teammate's pager if I needed a ride. Then I'd have to hope he could find a landline somewhere to call me back.

By '02 I feel like Nextels were going big - the chirping walkie talkie types. I always remember wondering how anyone could understand what was being said. Everything sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher to me.

I graduated high school in 2000. Noone I knew had a cell phone, mp3 players didn't exist, and the style at the time for guys was FUBU, Hilfiger, etc. Usually accompanied by a bowl haircut. Girls wore hip hugger jeans. I also remember getting yelled at by my parents for hogging the phoneline with my dial up internet usage.

1. be kind, rewind - kids these days won't know what it means
2. a pencil and a cassette tape
3. portable music meant a Walkman and 10 songs at the max
4. making a mix tape was a chore
5. forget that, finding obscure music was an even herculean task
6. you wait for ages before you can fap to porn that loaded on a dial up
7. watching movies meant paying and going to the theater.
8. if you need to know something, you go to the library or you ask an expert. now there's Google.
9. reading books meant holding a bound sheaf of papers.
10. you needed dozens of floppy disks for a shitty small amount of data

I've said this before, but I really miss video rental stores. Scanning Netflix isn't the same as perusing the aisles with your date.

Where do you live? Were they behind on times? By 2000 I was pretty much the last person wearing a bull cut at my school and it was probably out of style by a couple of years.

Schools have committed themselves a lot more to technology. I paid 500 fcking dollars for my ipad, yet I read on NPR about school districts nationwide providing ipads to their students.

bangbros passwords are impossible to come by

Did you live in Africa?
Biggest thing that changed for me is I get way more sex....

Makes sense to me. I was 2003 and people were just getting "emergency pay by the minute" cell phones.

I just graduated college, so this won't be amazing or anything big.

1. Popular jean style used to be the too baggy even though you have a belt style. Now it's the "so tight that it's just as dysfunctional as baggy pants".
2. The majority of songs on the radio weren't club-like sounding.
3. Reading from an electronic tablet was a luxury.
4. So were smart phones.
5. Texting was the thing you didn't want to overuse, not data.
6. Apps allow everyone to say that they play games. Before you had to have a console or a strong pc to even state that.
7. Obama wasn't having as many fingers pointed at him.
8. Bikes used to be on the sidewalks.
9. Youtube videos weren't common conversation topics.
10. The people who said that they don't watch tv actually didn't have tvs or cable.
