Things About the 1990s That Gen X Forgets

An era of technological innovation.

During the 1990s, we were immersed in an era of technological innovation and cultural and social changes that defined an entire generation.

The following collection of images is a journey back to the recent past, when old desktop computers were enormous, there were smoking sections in indoor venues, parties had a different charm, and streaming platforms didn't exist; you had to go to a Blockbuster to rent a series or movie on VHS or DVD.

In addition, video games had more advanced graphics than today, and television guides were printed and reviewed on paper.

The '90s were years of change that laid the foundations of the modern world and defined future generations.
