Technology Timeline

  • NES

    NES
    The original Nintendo was so fun for me! I remember playing duck hunt with the gun remotes! That was fun.
  • VCR

    VCR
    I remember that my favorite VHS movie when I was younger was "Little Mermaid". I played it so much that I wore out the tape! There were a couple of times that my siblings would get into the VHS tapes and pull out the tape. You had to wind it back up. Sometimes if this happened too much there would be static on the playback.
  • Gameboy

    Gameboy
    I was a pokemon master! Gameboy was the first way I remember gaming. I had an original gameboy, but then moved up in the world when I got my pink transparent gameboy advanced color!
  • Supernintendo

    Supernintendo
    Mario is where it's at!
  • Casette Player

    Casette Player
    I remember listening to the radio and inserting a blank cassette tape and listening which song was coming up next and hitting "play" and "record" at the same time so that I could have a copy of that song. The song I specifically remember recording was "The real slim shady" by Eminem.
  • Nintendo 64

    Nintendo 64
    James Bond and the joystick controller! I'd spend hours with my family competing with this gaming system.
  • Discman

    Discman
    I felt so cool getting this new discman for Christmas! The major downfall of this is that you had to carry around CD's with you. I remember listening to my Dixie Chicks album on the way to school on the bus.
  • Overhead Projector

    Overhead Projector
    I remember my math, english, and history teachers having rolling transparency overhead projectors that they would use wet-erase markers to write with. They would unroll the transparency to go back to what they taught previously.
  • Floppy Disc

    Floppy Disc
    I remember in my TECHNOLOGY class my sophomore year, we were still saving our assignments on floppy discs! CD's were around, but apparently my school needed to get with the times.
  • iPod

    iPod
    I bought my first iPod after working all summer as a soccer referee to get this classy piece of tech! I even had my name laser engraved on the back!
  • USB

    USB
    This is the technology we used to save documents when I graduated high school and into my college career.
  • Motorolla Razr

    Motorolla Razr
    This is the phone all the cool kids had! I got it after all the cool kids had it. I became a master at texting using T9-word.
