Late 1990s/early 2000s was the best time for tech. We had enough of it to be able to communicate instantly, but not smart phones that suck your life away, awful social media that fuels hatred, bullying and vanity, apps that spy on you and stupid things like apple watches etc. The balance was right. Tech was convenient, affordable and not intrusive or distracting. The pause button should have been hit then. Nowadays tech has over taken the capacity of human intelligence. We have people buying drones and flying them near planes, we have people climbing towers to post a selfie on instagram and people videoing minor events in order to shame one another. None of that crap in the 1990s. The early 1990s and before were the wrong side of the balance. Tech was expensive, clunky and didn't function that well.

I like all music, and to be honest, most of the songs I hear today could have easily come out back then, or at least sound like they evolved from back then - to me, there is no decade that had "better music" - it's all good.

When we were kids, we went to parks, went down the road, played on bikes, climbed on trees and walls, with little to no safety concern, or worries about contacting our parents. Knowing to stay clear of roads, and get back before dark. After school, it was the corner shop owned by a family, buying things for under a pound and watching whatever was on Cbbc, or CITV or if we felt brave, what came on after 5:30. Our parents didn't have to worry about what was on our tv because what was their to be worried about? Paul O'grady? Simpsons? Eastenders? Sneaking in an hour of gaming before bed; and when we say gaming, we mean an actual kids game. Mario, or Zelda, or a bit of Spyro. Dare we play that edgy game we talk about at school, like Doom! oooo Then we'd hide under he covers with our chunky record players or CD players if we were lucky, and replay those 10 songs we had over and over again, but that's ok, because they were our songs. Sadly..... Kids can't go to parks, or down the road, play on bikes or climb on trees and walls due to bad drivers, crime rates, drug users... but that's ok, because they don't feel like doing it anyway... and even if they did, they'd stay out over dark because they have their smart phone to call. After school, it's that 5 pounds for a chocolate from Tesco, and jumping onto their phones or laptops to watch youtube or play online games. Watching music videos and dangerous videos they somehow came across or heard about from their friends. Parents barely find out though, and it's too late otherwise. Sneaking in those hours of online games till 12 and kicking screaming if their parents dare take the device away; sucking away their sleep and ruining their learning at school. Name the poison. GTA online with Voice chat. League of Legends with filters off. CS:GO with a debit card number tucked away. Maybe even some sex games because google is now a thing. Then they'd hide under the covers till even later, scrolling through TikTok for the next music trends, or Spotify listening to the new explicit Grime, Trap, Mumble rap music over and over because they have too or they're not cool at school ....

Amazing how many of these brands no longer exist now.... Lycos, Abbey National, Kitecat
