Awesome/Horrible Things From My Childhood That Technology Will Kill


Book Orders

Nothing was better then paging through the shadily printed catalogues in search of the rad Goosebumps book caddy, or wondering how cool Sim Copter actually was.

Wristwatches

When I used to wear a watch, it was usually with a sense of both bravado and irony.

Saturday Morning Cartoons

Sooner or later kids are going to realize that cartoons are best served on their smart phones after bedtime.

Moviefone

Or more accurately, the unconfirmed report that the Moviefone guy was a substitute at our school.

Chain Letters

Replaced by every YouTube comment … ever.

Graphing Calculators

The physics of Angry Birds coming to a classroom near you.

Cursive Writing

There’s a font for that right?

Spelling Tests

Now “Close enough for auto correct” tests

Laser Tag

Never really that cool in the first place.
