Sure it has. its increased. the internet now lets poepl ebitch to ANYONE.


Some things about the internet have changed dramatically already.


Remember when a new show or movie would be comingout, companies would drop ridiculous amounts of money on flashy, almost impossible to navigate websites that required the newest version of flash, and offered screenshots, wallpapers and screensavers?

Now, even Fox... FUCKING FOX has a damn myspace page for new shows.... Why spend a little bit of money (relatively speaking) when you can do it for free....

Still the same amount of complaining, there's just a bigger audience now. :)

your first appropriate typo : ebitch :)

or eBITCH (bitching on the internet)

That reminds me.. i remember reading that there were 4 Billion people on earth... now there are almost 7 Billion! and a third of them live in China and India!

LOL hell hammer wasn't even out when parachute pants first came out...

Hell I was a kid, I didn't care...

give Vod a big bottle of BBQ sauce and some running shoes and he'd have that problem licked in a day or two..

The Pizza Hut sign....

2001 - The fall of Sega:(
While it's some small consolation that Sega DOES still make games (for nintendo, no less), things just don't feel right knowing that there won't be any more Sega consoles...

when i went to school...typewriters did not have small t.v screens attatched

Pot was something you cooked in
grass was something you mowed
we said goodmorning ..not .yo' hows it hangin'?
we understood the lyrics to the songs
fuck was a word that got slapped ..then washed out of your mouth.
we neva wrte lyke tis'
when we danced...we didn't look like spastics
spastic was about as handicapped as anyone could get
it was safe to eat anything without getting cancer or some kind of un prouncable disease.
what the hell is vitamans A.B. AND C?
sex was confined to the bedroom
no kissing and telling
the most porn we saw was donald duck who had no pants on.
girls were sexy regardless
boys always had pimples and lots of hair cream.
'sigh'....................
and i was born in the 70's :o

Make it frank's red hot sauce. Ive been on a big "Buffalo" kick these days....

Oh wow...That was a big thing to me when it happened. The original Sega Genesis was a large part of my childhood.

another big change......this guy use to be funny.

Did oyu hear his apology on Letterman? Jesus chrsit, how akward... it almost hurt to listen too. he sounded liek a kid having to explain to his parents in front of the prinicpal why he felt the need to throw a rock through a window and callhis teacher a fat bitch.

didja hear he abused the blacks in the audeince last night
cos they said he wasn't funny !!!didja.. ?:eek:

landing on the moon has to be the biggie....

but who besides me remembers what computers were like way back when? they were just dumb terminals the size of a dining table and everyone worked off the mainframe.... and that took up a warehouse :eek: and absolutely no-one had a home computer, now we have palmheld devices that double as mobile phones... triple as digital cameras... quadruple as mp3 players.... the list goes on

oh, and home servers are now no bigger than a regular pc and the warehouse is now used to store a thousand of 'em

technology is advancing so fast that a pc is obsolete by the time it hits the store

Yup...couldn't believe it when I read the announcement that they will "never again make any new hardware"....maybe just maybe they'll make enough money through their nintendo projects to TRY again in the future, but it seems like they've settles into the role pretty well...a shame it is...I was with them master system through dreamcast...RIP.

Yeah, saw the footage...just looked like he was going nuts, in a really stupid unfunny way "they're niggers, get em outta here! niggers! fucking niggers!"...repeated about 10 times. Guess the fact he's a has-been finally caught up with him...angry lad.

Wide screen t.v's
'shakes her head..ugly i say'

With a few tweaks, he could have pulled it off without coming off as an asshole.... He wouldnt stop though...

Apparently... the guys he went off on had been causing shit for two days at that place, so he SHOULD have said something, but... godamn...

If he had said "Whoops, i guess that was too far." and continuedon with his act,i bet no one would have paid attention...

that would be me :o


my first real job was acomputer operator on a mainframe

ooooooooooh ouch!!
he's appearing on lettermans show to apologise ..LOL

but i mean ..be fair.
the dude was being heckled..

I actually thought george is the funnyman on seinfeld..
i love watching george. :D

I didnt have a computer job until 2001 :)


My printed copy of my "resume" (a list of crap i could do on a computer) was lost, so i had my first interview for a helpdesk position over a handwritten list of skills. On Notebook paper. in 2 colors of ink and pencil.



Not only did i get the job, i set an IT department record for fast promotions and multiple raises in years where most people were lucky to see 2% and not get canned.

Now i work a job where about 80% of the peopel around me are mainframe programmers. weird.

good..you can be my 1st millionaire friend..
i need another 19 :o

Hah! How's this, once i have a billion, ill send you a check for a million.

ok..em not greedy
but when you make your 1st billion..
you can be all my 20 bestfreinds :D

:)

Not until page 7 did someone mention VHS, CDs and DVDs- yet those were pretty big things.

I remember every year it was a big event to watch Wizard of Oz on TV because that's the only way you could see it. Sometimes old films would get rereleased.

Now we have the DVD collector's industry. Eventually everything will get released- some way or another.

It's an amazing thing!


On another front- when I was young you didn't spit in public. It just wasn't done. Now there are goobers everywhere I go, and people spitting left and right. It makes me gag.

Fucking filthy habit...I'll do it only if neccesary, and even then, not around a bunch of people, into a bin or the gutter...I've seen people jst spit allover footpaths and walls...feel like grabbing them by the hair and rubbing their face in it.

my 1st job as a waitress in town at the bus terminal
fuck..eww...ppl leaving spit in thier saucers n ashtrays.

:p
hahaha

iPods. To me they've made CDs almost completely obsolite. I'll still keep CDs around until we have cars with iPod hookups, but I hardly ever use them for listening to music anymore

No way MP3s are about the shittest format for music. They sound terrible.

Plus no artwork, ect.

MP3s can have a bitrate equal to CD but then it becomes a larger file. It's funny when I make CDs, some songs can't be found with a good br so one or two songs on the cd sounds like ass. Ah well. Still quick, easy, and free (:eek: ).

iPODs are for trendy assholes. Its bad enough I have a cellphone. One of those things would make me look like a complete yuppie douche

I'll have to admit, since I first started downloading tunes, I've probably only bought about twenty or so cd's in the past 6 or 7 years...And it's usually cause it's something I can't find online...Mp3 quality can be just as good as CD but like Despare said it usally means a bigger file size, which I don't mind...

I used to burn cd's all the damn time but since I got my ipod that has slowed tremendously, I hardly ever use cd's anymore unless burning them for friends...

And you can get artwork for albums from downloading depending which program you use....

*cough*
SoulSeek
*cough*


:D

Yeh I download a bunch of stuff. But I just like having Vinyl/CDs to look at.... haha not that I can afford to buy music latley.
I've got hundreds of burnt CDs

I have a cell phone, it's always off and nobody knows the number though. It's a one-way cell phone. :cool:

Yeh thats like me. I was one of the last people over here to get and that was only because it was given to me. People seem to be permantley attached to them.....

I got a generic MP3 player a couple years ago, and I have always been satisfied with it. I don't use it that often, (in my car I listen to CDs) but I've honestly considered getting an iPod because I think they are going to be the next default way to listen to music.

when i origionally started the thread i was really only thinking of the smaller less obvious changes ... more the things that dissapeared because of the new advancements.

but yeah .. DVD .. (or any format of home theatre for that matter)

and MP3s are another huge one ..
and the walkman ... i still remember hearing my 1st walkman (when the only alternative for portable music was a transister radio - or a car radio - and they sounded like shit !)
when my friend let me try his walkman it blew me right out of the wayer ..


i'll never own an ipod simply because at my stage of life i never have the opportunity to wear headphones... cant do it at work - cant do it at home .. cant do it at sports ...

if i was a kid now - and had a tiny device that could hold 60 gigs of music .. i'd frigging love it.

hey Elvis.....did you get an iPod yet ?
