RIP Blockbuster- The last time I went to a video store was early 2015. And when they announced that they were shutting down, we actually got to keep some of those movies....
My family had a bunch of old disney VHS tapes, but my parents sold them to someone. I miss the vhs tapes, cause i watch "the land before time" over and over again, but the one thing i didn't like was the stuff you'd see before the movie, but at the same time there was no menu to worry about cause the movie would just play
Yes, and many of the lesser-known movies and "geek/nerd" titles (like old documentaries and educational/instructional films) aren't even being re-released on DVD, anyway. Just like you should save your favorite phonograph records because a lot of the music-album titles aren't being re-released on CD.
@@coreyhill681 sadly you have to pay for that feature, I will admit, its worth the money not being able to see an ad every 10 seconds. But I do miss it where copyright wasn't much of an issue and literally no ads.
Actually, I only encountered a single ad in the middle of this vid. There are other YT vids that have ads every 2 or 4 minutes (abruptly cutting off the vid, unlike TV ads)--ridiculous.
You guys make going to the Video Store sound like such a tedious chore. I loved going there every Friday night, checking out the VHS covers and new Nintendo games
@@DR1V3R117 Frankly i do, but unfortunately i can't sell or do anything like that fot hat piece of iconic iron. 1. Because it is STILL in operation condition and i + brother uses that to watch old flicks and tapes what we recorded when we were younger. 2. It an integrated part of the television itself, making that as a TV/VCR- combo. 3. It is located on mommy's house, so she keeps that in condition for us to use. As for film retal, they don't rent VHS-tapes anymore, but DVD's, BD-dics, 4K- dics these days.
Who writes this stuff? VHS was not "aweful in every conceivable way". Its what we had at the time and for the time it was AWESOME. Thats like blaming Edison for inventing a crappy old fashion phonograph. Yes we have had progress since then but we should EXPECT nothing less than progress in this society. And seriously, lets not even act like the digital age hasnt given us a fair amount of crap.
We have much better ways of watching and recording video now than with VHS tapes. But when those machines first came out they were amazing... it was like a time machine that worked for TV. There were sitcoms or movies that were on overnight or during my workday that I could never watch, but with my new top of the line VCR I could record them all and watch them when I chose. I paid $900 for my first one and felt it was worth every penny. My first VCR was a Quasar that used really weird big tapes that cost about $15 and could record up to two hours. Not cheap, and the machine itself was very primitive. The pause button was mounted on a wire and it would only pause as long as you held down the button. It had click TV tuners and the timer had hands and a clock face... you set it like an old alarm clock.
Definitely concur with you Alan. B. 1987 and still have VCR, well VCR DVD combo and the VCR part still works great. I have a video store load of childhood videos from the 90's and late 80's and love watching them and thankful I can still can with that wonderful invention. Love both video and DVD and I resent people dissing the classic technology that we had back in the sweet old days too. Another thing I miss are camcorders and recording on blank tape and taking pictures on actual cameras. I miss recording tv shows I miss during the day, and making home movies, and taking pictures that I could keep forever in a pretty album not just on my cell phone. The technology back in these simpler times were, or at least for me, did a better job of bringing friends and family together.
How about the comment on Rowan and Martin's Laugh in " Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls". What are they referring to? Not to mention what is Laugh in.
Does anyone remember how many different companies there were? Compton's, Britannica, and Funk & Wagnalls are the only ones I can recollect without looking it up. I count 3
my grandparents had a rotary phone in the basement for the grandkids to use. we used to call and order Pizza and it was always a task. the number was 330-300-900. it took like a half an hour to go through all those zeros. but I still remember the number and the local comercial singing the jingle with the phone number. lol. just mow much things have changed in such a short amount of time.
Technology is like a tall building made from bricks. Each brick is essential. Take away the first layer and the entire building crumbles. They're all equally important.
@@MsLia32 Torrenting in the 90's? You were an absolute madlad. It literally took days to download a movie on dialup, and you couldn't use your phone the entire time. Time remaining: 2d 6h
@@MsLia32 I know, that's around the time I got into anime torrents. They were unintentional weekly episodes lol. I remember Blockbusters too. By myself, I made a beeline to the game section. On a date was simple. Just get the most popular movie there. If it's not in stock, just go down the line to the next most popular.
I remember waiting a whole week to get pictures developed. Also weekends renting VHS/DVD's with your friends and arguing over what gets watched first was the best. Those where definitely the days
I remember when Jack Rabbit at the mall started their one hour developing service in my area. I was like wow, I can get my pictures developed in an hour while I shopped. I had a Polaroid One Step camera, but the film was cheaper for the 35mm camera and the pictures turned out better.
Yes my sister worked at one of those I asked her,” isn’t it a long process to do??” She said yes they were still using film and it was at meijers, so for any Michiganders out there who know what I am talking about.
I was born in 2001. I know most of these things. I had VHS tapes, i scribbled on Phone Books, i had cassettes. We did not have the modern technology at the time during my childhood. And i happen to own a Game Boy since i collect RETRO stuff (and new stuff). This video was cringe tbh. I bet older kids know what most of this stuff is. Also, those TV guides are still handed out in my nearest store.
Oli Bernstein I agree. I was born in 2005, however we bought VHS up to 2006 and certainly watched them well into the 2010s. We also had phone books, especially at my grandparent’s house.
There are kids that don't know what they are because they are too young and not exposed to enough things in life. Many younger kids don't even know what DVDs and Blurays are, printers and desktops, etc.. It's not like they are obsolete technology. It's because they've never been exposed to it.
My grandma still has vhs tapes, vcr, still uses a TV guide catalog, has a rotary phone (with a 50ft cord), uses a phone book, still uses dial up with a windows 98 computer and her furniture in the living room is from the 60’s and 70’s... I’m not even kidding
+Patricia Busch My wife & I got a VHS rewinder as a gift one time, and still have it although it's been years since it was used (or the VCR for that matter).
I have manual rolling windows in my truck. Friends kid had no idea what it was for. Told him to turn it and he was looking around on the dash waiting for something to happen. Cracked me up.
My dad had an S-10 P/U with ALL the "modern conveniences". 'power window'(same as yours)... 'power locks'(your index finger)... tachometer(your ears) ... 'pwr steering' (your arms)... AND POWER BRAKES(your right thigh!) like to see a 16YO kid drive something like that today.
@@keithlowe1982 Must of been a very early year S10 to not have power steering and brakes. I had a 1982 (first year production) and the PO had installed a power steering pump but I still didn't have power brakes. Though lack of power brakes on that small of a truck wasn't really an issue lol.
@@keithlowe1982 Ah ok, that year would've been more likely to have those options until you mentioned its a "work special" model lol. Aka was used as a service truck at one point so had literally the bare essentials lol.
I actually miss renting movies. It made watching movies at home special. I remember many nights growing up when my friends would spend the night and my mom would take us to Blockbuster so we could pick a movie then swing by and get a couple of pizzas. Such fantastic memories of being a 12 year old in the late 90s.
West Coast Video in Sicklerville (I think it's now a beauty supply store and a paint store, right next to King's Liquors) was our first store (it closed when I was 3 or 4), and Blockbuster right across the street from the first store was my store from 4 to 11. I'm planning on visiting the Bend, Oregon, store, and I'm considering opening my own store.
My mom and I would go to dominos and order pizza then walk next door to blockbuster or a rental store and get a movie on fridays. Man, those were some simpler times. I'm 19 and I already feel old as shit
I miss the old days. You had time to live in the real world. People answered when you called them. And every little thing that happens wasn't immediately broadcast.
There was way more privacy....for sure. And not everyone was competing on a constant like on FB....or just comparing there life with others, due too Facebook.
@@bloom2939 And if somebody didn't like certain media, they just woudn't watch it. They wouldn't go around bashing it or insult others just because they DID like it.
@@hackman669 Hell I got my first phone (which was a smartphone) when I was 20, the rest of the time I had to buy phone cards for the pay phone (I grew up in the 90s)
Pagers are still used for emergency services as it provides a quicker notification over text messages which often get delayed. Vinyl is making a comeback as the younger generations are discovering the unique sound of vinyl.
I had a job where I had to be on call and had a pager and that wasn't too long ago. But a lot of people in the medical and social services field still use them.
@@cg0825 And the reason is so that every "Tom, Dick, and Harry" can't have access to their cell numbers... and this includes the fellows and interns who are working under them!
Oh, excuse me. I guess in today's society I should probably add a "Suzie and Sallie" to make it socially correct now -- you know, with the rampant feminism, gender (bender identification) equality, SJW, PC police and other "squeaky wheel" activism that is prevalent in today's Western Cultures.
cg0825 my husband works at a VA hospital and he uses a beeper. He's not always on a computer for their instant message system. It's better than a cell phone because they all have the same beeper and they can't miss them/or silence them and they can't go on fb or anything on them lol and ya what someone else said, you don't have to give out your personal phone number. Also, doctors still use faxes to transfer records. They can't always transfer via the internet because they are still on paper files. I have had to use a fax to send papers to gov agencies because they want a hard copy of the info or they don't want a digital copy.
VHS was the bomb actually. Every movie had a soul on that. But movies were so much better back then as well, that's why we fell in love with the cinema in the first place.
VHS is awesome. I still buy them, and have even waited to watch movies until I could get a tape due to the quality (the three Matrix sequels, the Moroder version of Metropolis, The Terminator, Pink Flamingos, and the unedited Star Wars trilogy). DVD sucks, and besides being a haven of special features, there's rarely a DVD that I truly enjoy. Blu-Ray is pretty epic, basically the current equivalent of a laserdisc, but I don't think anything will ever beat VHS. Frankly, if I had my own movies coming out, I'd push for a VHS release. It wouldn't just be an old-fashioned VHS release, it would be a wholehearted release, just like the ones I grew up with. While sometimes VHS can be a pain in the ass during rewinding/fast forwarding and when the head acts up, it's still way better than DVD and digital. And yes, Betamax was better, but to truly get the better quality, you'd need to mod your VCR, since Beta I and HiFi stereo were never on the same unit. And yes, laserdiscs are also epic.
+Holden Roth me too. In the 90's I loved going to the obscure section that had weird unheard of movies, and picking out a few just based on the cover. I discovered so many cult weird movies doing that. Especially weird low budget campy horror movies.
I remember all of these. If kids were confused by these, they’d really go crazy trying to understand party lines. Yep, when I was a kid, we had to share our phone line with someone else.
these are. I’ve been interested in technology for a long time. Not only that I actually own some of this stuff. Including: VHS Tapes and a VCR, Floppy Disks, Phone book, CD book or smthn idk what it’s called, Walkman and Diskman and at something at your age you probably don’t even know what a WATCHMAN is!
It's a shame, kids today will grow up probably never understanding this joke. What's the difference between a computer and a woman? The Computer will accept a 3 and a half inch floppy.
Gameboy: When I was a kid. I found out that no one can beat the score that I had playing Tetris. Because you can't reach 1,000,000 points, only 999,999.
why don't you just use Netflix on a game console or online you don't need a credit or debit card like what you're still old school because you'd rather go to a old school movie store then to use Netflix on a game console because with the Xbox 360 and ps3 and ps4 you get to use Netflix and stream a bunch of movies and shows
I preferred blockbuster because you only had to pay for a rental and not a monthly if you don't use Netflix for a month for some reason, you essentialy pay 8 bucks for nothing. That and if ever wanted to try a game before buying it I rented it there. Something I no longer am able to do.
+Glen “Ghblunty16” Howatt Agree with you until one point. Because back in 2009, when I wanted to rent a PS3 game from them, I needed a credit card to do so.
80s, 90s, and early to mid 2000s when this tech still existed was a lot more fun and cooler than today. Kids these days have it way too easy and boring.
Kids these days don't want to play outside like us in our 40s up did. They want to be on laptops iPads, tablet and the damn smartphones of today. You don't see a lot of kids riding bikes anymore unless they want to go to the gas station or friends out of the neighborhood. It was so damn cool to look at all the video rentals that came out each week and going to multiple video rentals places. Never thought you would go to a video rental machine and request a DVD with a card and not catch. Since I graduated from high school in 1994 there has been way too many changes that I never thought of. I used to record cartoons like crazy from the 80s and 90s then, still have some of them old recordings you can find on TH-cam yet. One is a program from 1987 about the Titanic it's called Treasures of the Titanic when they first brought things from the ship.I have it on VHS recorded. But can't find it on TH-cam or anywhere else yet
@@gregory6798 kids dont like to go outside more nowadays because they can access more fun stuff and talk to their friends without having to go walk 400 miles in some cases
Call me old (hi, old!) but I still remember my childhood home phone number, my grandparents' old home number, even my best friend in school's number. Sadly, no siblings.
Yo I saw my older sis start doing that back in the late 90s. It would take like a week to get to the house lol. But patience wasn't nothing but a thang back then.
That TV guide one hit me oddly hard. I remember waiting for the newspaper so I could see the guide inside. All the different categories of TV channels in different colors. Man I kind of miss the complexity of things, it made doing things more meaningful. And then having to set up a new VHS tape anytime I wanted to record something, never able to record multiple things at once.
I remember getting the TV guide, then sitting in my chair for a at least an hour, looking for all the things I wanted to watch, and drawing a checkmark beside them.
@@josephgaviota I did the same. Lol. I actually prefer a TV Guide as opposed to scrolling on a screen. Yes, it's convenient but there's something about having the whole thing in your hands.
The narrator is describing each example with such agitation. For me, It was an honor to grow up in the 80's and 90's. Humans actually connected with one another. It was a time of true community. Btw Everyone I knew looked forward to going to Blockbuster at the end of the week.
Nah. People have always been people. Some kids couldn't look away from their books or sketchpads. People who wrote into tv news stations or newspapers to complain were just as un-grammarly as they are today. Trolls used mimeograph machines to copy crude jokes/cartoons that got passed around and around (memes), or sent chain letters.
We still take English class (where you learn to write effectively) and go to school where you talk to people I mean if anything kids nowadays are more social and better at talking to each other due to social media
They work yeah, but no one literally under the age of 50 uses it. I'm only 29 and even we in freaking 3rd world croatia started using DVD's in the early 2000s
Yeah, for me, VHS is a present, not past. I am still using it to record something. Movies etc. The last VHS was made in 2016 (Funai). By the time this video was made, it was still actually being made...
VHSs weren't THAT terrible. It took years for digital storage to cost-effectively replace them for large amount of recording. Some VHS tapes under certain modes could record around 9 hours of content.
Vhs tapes cost like a dollar nowadays vs dvds that can be anywhere from $5-20 🤷🏽♀️ any movie worth watching from the early 2000s on down is out there at a goodwill just begging to be played again.
See kids back in my day, we used to have VHS tapes to play our favorite movies and it was great unique thing to have on your TV. You can pause, play, rewind, and fast forward. We didn't have to worry about subscriptions to watch movies like y'all have on your digital devices.
You underestimate us. I'm 15, and I knew literally everything on the list. I regularly use, or know how to use them all, and have a walkman, and diskman.
I have to be honest here. It's the 25+ gang that likely don't know a lot of this list. Your generation is starting to see how badly things got messed up and you're starting to come back down to Earth. If we could skip the part where the millennials rule the world and go straight to you folks, we might make it for another few generations. You have my respect, sir.
Me too and the comments above you typing and trying to generalize us, I am 14, saying that we didn't know any of these thing but I am the complete opposite I really didn't know about the internet until 2012 before that I was stuck with a PlayStation 2 and then after a Xbox 360 and until 2018 I got an xbox one. I also have somewhere my vcr,my walkman,and among some other things
thinking about the tapes brings back sooo many memories it makes my cry if have kids I'll tell them about the tapes VCRs and all the good stuff they had even on fucking previews those were so much more lively and I lost them all in a move me and my brother were heart broken
I’m 14 I don’t have a iPhone, iPad, iPod or a MacBook but I have a typewriter, cassette tapes, my vhs tapes and listen to my vinyl collection, 1 in 7 kids I’ve talked to in my school knows at least one of the items I’ve mentioned
enjoy been a 90's kid and your old out dated tacogoy course one day if your kids of your own you have nothing intersting to tell them only how fast tacogoy change you could not keep with while kids your age already use have ipad music you where still trying to catch on with your 90's cassettes
I'm almost 21 and I recognized and knew what all of these things were. Most of them I used myself as a kid and the ones I didn't were just too expensive at the time for me to have. A beeper was one of them. My parents never saw the need for us to have one and plus they tended to be expensive. I don't remember having a DVD player until maybe the mid-2000's. They were just so damn expensive. I grew up with VHS tapes and still love them! I still have a VCR and if I can find a movie I want on VHS, that's the format I get. Plus there's nothing more satisfying, in my opinion, than a VHS collection full of the classics and some neat unknown gems. As for video stores, some of my favourite memories of my childhood were of me and my family going to the video store to rent some tapes and occasionally buy a few. It wasn't as bad as this video says. I loved it! I wish kids these days could have gotten that same feeling of finding a really cool movie you've been searching for at the video store. Plus the cover art back then was so cool and creative. Nothing better.
still use a blu ray and dvd player not every films is on line so you still need some means of playing d.v.ds got my d.v.d player in 2016 along with my blu ray player so very let to the game
I still have a few hundred vhs tapes because they were never released on dvd, "nightmare on elm st the series" as an example, or because they are collectors editions with photos, books, lighters, or other additions to make the set more desirable.
YESS!!! I loved going to Movie Gallery to pick up movies on VHS. It was like an adventure to a teenage me. I know, I sound old, but I'm only 35. XD Anyway, the *Worst* part of using a VCR is when the dang thing ate your tapes. Ugh... Still... I have the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS, and will keep it that way; I wouldn't buy the DVD of it.
The good ol' days. I loved my walkman, watching VHS, rollerblading, playing outside and watching the 90s cartoons. I enjoyed my childhood. Many kids don't know what they're missing because they're always on the internet, smartphones and tablets playing shit and staying indoors.
I was born in 85. Had (and still have) an NES. No computer or Internet. Cable was king. What's going to happen in another 30-40 years... We will see!!!
As a kiddo who was born in 2001. I love collecting these older consoles. Im currently looking for the "Color TV Game" that was made by Nintendo in the late 70's, only released in Japan though. Its just a Pong console though. I also love the Japanese version of the NES which is the "Family Computer" or "Famicom". It had this expansion that used Floppy Disks and it was called Famicom Disk System. Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus originated from this system.
Reggie, I was born 10 years later in 1988. I still cant believe its almost 31 years later and things have changed. None of the things we grew up with functionally exist today. My childhood is basically obsolete. Life is indeed very very short.
Not saying these little kids aren't cute but why do they have smart phones, IPODs and such now? They should be out playing a bit more before they get immersed with all of this technology, even though they do need so outer technology now and in the future. Years from now the things they now think are cool will be outdated and some kids will be laughing at what they think is cool.
Rosemarie Kury parents have become reliant on the technology to "raise" the kids. The more things to distract and calm down, keep them out of the parents hair and whatnot is what has happened. It's a sad thing and you can spot it right away....as i am a mother, i chose to raise my daughter in the same manner as I was.
mcgibs I still have my original Simon from the late 70s I replaced the speaker and lightbulbs a few years back but I still play with it about once a month
Phone books are still around in 2018. Pagers are still around look at police, lawyers and medical field. I still have film camera. Fax machines are still around.
@@henryscafe8364 what kind of film are you talking about? I took a film photography class like 6 years ago and i was still buying the kodak brand. Didn't seem like they had stopped
they used to print the TV schedule for each week in the Sunday paper. (maybe they still do, we haven't had cable for about 10 years now.) my mom used to always cut it out and tape it to the inside of the cupboard and circle things we wanted to watch. things for just her was always circled in red. lol. we would check the listing every night at dinner time and see what was on that night. when we finally got a VCR she would circle things in blue that she wanted to record. it seemed so complicated at the time and I thought she was like some evil genius for always knowing what was on and when. now pretty much anything is on when ever we want. crazy how things have changed so much in a generation. I don't think my parents generation had things too differently then their parents. it just seems our gen took this HUGE jump with the introduction of the smart phone and computers, and internet.
TV Guide still exists ... they just got bigger in size. Honestly, I envy the people who will someday be able to say they grew up in a world without WatchMojo videos
Smart guy, I like you. Yeah dude, the internet is cool for some things. But just like everything else. There's no bookstore, music store, DVD store or anything that was once actually awesome is gone.

It was around early 1980 that a "video shop" opened in our area. You could rent the VCR+3 video films for 24 hours...can't remember the cost. But guess what? Once you'd seen all 3 films that same evening (!!), you passed everything on to your neighbours - who also crammed in the entertainment - before the 24 hours were up and you had to take all the items back to the shop. As far as the shop was concerned, you took everything home - and brought it straight back the next day (with all the tapes re-wound). No one else was involved. Of course, the following weekend, the neighbours would rent the set-up - and we would benefit too! Fast forward (!!) a couple of years when everyone had their own VCR's - but still had to rent the films. This time, the films did the rounds not only with the neighbours, but several other households - before being returned. The guys in the shop were none the wiser (as far as we knew!).
I’m sorry, but blockbuster was amazing. There’s a special magic that you felt going to a rental store and searching with others for the perfect movie for movie night or being a kid knowing damn well you were talking your parent into a video game rental
I remember when Blockbuster was a huge thing. This was before Netflix and Hulu. Video stores, in the early 2000s, were still places you went in order to rent a movie.
My 14 year old found a music cassette tape in our house and came in looking at like it came from outer space . He laughed when I told him what it was . Now i feel really really old . Staying by the radio to record the uk top 40 .😂
Oh yes. When it came to recording your favorite songs on audio cassette. You’re lucky if you were able to catch the song at the beginning, had good reception, and the DJ wouldn’t interupt before the song ended.
I was born in 2004 and yet I almost know all of these especially the VHS which is my favorite. Also I remember watching disney, pixar, nickelodeon and wb movies on vhs. Man, good days #nostalgia
The good thing about VHS was you owned it these days if you record something on your DVR you're cable company can delete it bc they own the box or if its up on the cloud they own that too.
Same here. I'm 19, I still watch tapes almost daily, and they will never be outdated in this house. And yes, DVRs suck. Mainly, they serve as a temporary holding spot while I find a way to permanently archive the program...usually on a tape.
"THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY IN THIS CLIP AND THOSE WHO LAUGH AT IT ARE SIMPLY SHALLOW-MINDED" 17 July 2020 - @ I am 63 years old and I have always tried to be fair. Having said that, the clip shows a totally different concept: The new generation is thinking in terms of digital means while the previous generations learned to think in terms of mechanical means. Those young men are the product of the Digital Era. They have no knowledge of mechanical means. What they are doing proves that if you look carefully, and, they are quite smart in their own way trying to work it out without having learned anything from anyone about it. Regardless of 'understanding' and the 'rule of logic', the truth is that those who know how to dial a number on a rotary phone did not come to this world with the knowledge: They all learned it through watching how it was done or learned it from someone else who knew [who also learned it from someone else] and, as my wife mentioned, there is no point in knowing anything related to obsolete methods. Most of the computer savvy people do not know how to work with DOS 1.0 [released in 1981 as 'IBM PC DOS'], do they? That operating system was the base for Windows. Are we laughing at them because they don't know how to work with DOS 1.0? I'd like to ask their parents [or whoever was testing them], who I am sure know how to work with a computer, if they understand DOS 1.0 and can work with it. I'd very much like to see them struggling with a simple DOS Command, such as 'Open Directory' or 'Open Folder'. Laughing at those young men is simply a very shallow way of thinking. I am sorry if I am a little harsh here, but I could not keep it to myself especially when I looked at some of the comments.

I think when my parents made a few expensive purchases back in the 90s and 00s they decided it wasn't worth it to get anything else expensive, leaving me with the awesome technology of a Windows Vista laptop, PS2, a Wii, CRT TV, a CD player, cassette tape camcorder, classic alarm clock radio and my favorite piece of old tech, the VCR/DVD player combo.
Playing with mercury out of the jar. Calling your friend a slinky then pushing him down the stairs. Playing "Red light, green light" on the freeway center divider. Taking a piece out of the jigsaw puzzle at the store. Loosening the legs before playing musical chairs. Playing one last game of "hide and go seek". And the guy that was "it" didnt know you were moving out of state in about an hour. Painting bowling balls to look like soccer balls and leave them on the field. Man, Those were the days. I live in Ca. now. So dont anybody give me that Karma shit. I've well paid my dues.
Why do you miss that garbage now you can watch all the movies you want at home without even leaving your couch hack it you don't want to leave your house anymore play PJ's and dust on Netflix and pick out videos you like and watch some or Hulu or Amazon Prime videos or anything else honestly Blockbusters is a sin in a mistake in humanity I'm quite happy I didn't grow up with it that's so harsh
But I still respect you though you still like Blockbusters are perfectly okay I mean it's an old store into the classic store but that way in love more power to you rock on buddy
I get the nostalgia but it would be a serious inconvenience to have to drive out there every weekend. If they had Netflix back then, you'd be nostalgic about that too.
Nice list @pamela Mays ... just the term "adding machine," today it's beyond belief. My grandfather had an adding machine on his desk that was 20" deep x 14" wide, and must have weighed 40 lbs. And, it could only add and subtract. To multiply, it had a "repeat" button to hold down, then you'd hit + + + + however many times you needed. The first "calculators" were _very_ expensive, and had those little red letters composed of 7 little electric bars.
TV’s with knobs to change the channels. A friend had an old TV about 15 years ago and convinced my daughter that the channel knobs were a combination lock and she’d have to know the right combination before she could watch it. She believed him. 😂

Yes. It was an event and a social gathering (a real one).
I was working at my local Blockbuster when it got shut down. 🙄
because she's reading a script written by several angry homosexual men.

My family had a bunch of old disney VHS tapes, but my parents sold them to someone. I miss the vhs tapes, cause i watch "the land before time" over and over again, but the one thing i didn't like was the stuff you'd see before the movie, but at the same time there was no menu to worry about cause the movie would just play
Yes, and many of the lesser-known movies and "geek/nerd" titles (like old documentaries and educational/instructional films) aren't even being re-released on DVD, anyway. Just like you should save your favorite phonograph records because a lot of the music-album titles aren't being re-released on CD.

2. It an integrated part of the television itself, making that as a TV/VCR- combo.
3. It is located on mommy's house, so she keeps that in condition for us to use.
As for film retal, they don't rent VHS-tapes anymore, but DVD's, BD-dics, 4K- dics these days.
Who writes this stuff? VHS was not "aweful in every conceivable way". Its what we had at the time and for the time it was AWESOME. Thats like blaming Edison for inventing a crappy old fashion phonograph. Yes we have had progress since then but we should EXPECT nothing less than progress in this society.
And seriously, lets not even act like the digital age hasnt given us a fair amount of crap.
We have much better ways of watching and recording video now than with VHS tapes. But when those machines first came out they were amazing... it was like a time machine that worked for TV. There were sitcoms or movies that were on overnight or during my workday that I could never watch, but with my new top of the line VCR I could record them all and watch them when I chose. I paid $900 for my first one and felt it was worth every penny.
My first VCR was a Quasar that used really weird big tapes that cost about $15 and could record up to two hours. Not cheap, and the machine itself was very primitive. The pause button was mounted on a wire and it would only pause as long as you held down the button. It had click TV tuners and the timer had hands and a clock face... you set it like an old alarm clock.
Alan Sands I'm very happy with the fact that I still have a functioning VCR. Of course, I bought it from a yard sale
DeVon Taruex Yes they are. some of my tapes are 30 some-odd years old
Definitely concur with you Alan. B. 1987 and still have VCR, well VCR DVD combo and the VCR part still works great. I have a video store load of childhood videos from the 90's and late 80's and love watching them and thankful I can still can with that wonderful invention. Love both video and DVD and I resent people dissing the classic technology that we had back in the sweet old days too. Another thing I miss are camcorders and recording on blank tape and taking pictures on actual cameras. I miss recording tv shows I miss during the day, and making home movies, and taking pictures that I could keep forever in a pretty album not just on my cell phone. The technology back in these simpler times were, or at least for me, did a better job of bringing friends and family together.
My VCR only retired very recently. Besides: video cassettes didn’t have that region code crap.
How about encyclopedias, think anyone of these kids today know what they are? Just a thought.

As a 90s kid, I clearly remember all of these things.
my grandparents had a rotary phone in the basement for the grandkids to use. we used to call and order Pizza and it was always a task. the number was 330-300-900. it took like a half an hour to go through all those zeros. but I still remember the number and the local comercial singing the jingle with the phone number. lol. just mow much things have changed in such a short amount of time.

I remember when Jack Rabbit at the mall started their one hour developing service in my area. I was like wow, I can get my pictures developed in an hour while I shopped. I had a Polaroid One Step camera, but the film was cheaper for the 35mm camera and the pictures turned out better.

VHS wasn't THAT bad
EremikaHaven yes, yes it was. A laser disc was a million times better. Betamax was better, too but people are stupid.
You must have simply had a crappy VCR then
VHS was the bomb actually. Every movie had a soul on that. But movies were so much better back then as well, that's why we fell in love with the cinema in the first place.
VHS is awesome. I still buy them, and have even waited to watch movies until I could get a tape due to the quality (the three Matrix sequels, the Moroder version of Metropolis, The Terminator, Pink Flamingos, and the unedited Star Wars trilogy). DVD sucks, and besides being a haven of special features, there's rarely a DVD that I truly enjoy. Blu-Ray is pretty epic, basically the current equivalent of a laserdisc, but I don't think anything will ever beat VHS. Frankly, if I had my own movies coming out, I'd push for a VHS release. It wouldn't just be an old-fashioned VHS release, it would be a wholehearted release, just like the ones I grew up with. While sometimes VHS can be a pain in the ass during rewinding/fast forwarding and when the head acts up, it's still way better than DVD and digital. And yes, Betamax was better, but to truly get the better quality, you'd need to mod your VCR, since Beta I and HiFi stereo were never on the same unit. And yes, laserdiscs are also epic.
I still use vhs, and I'm fine with it

The narrator is describing each example with such agitation. For me, It was an honor to grow up in the 80's and 90's. Humans actually connected with one another. It was a time of true community. Btw Everyone I knew looked forward to going to Blockbuster at the end of the week.
Amen, born in 1983 and am beyond grateful to remember when the world was sane
Aren't the fine bros going to find a way to sue you now?
Lol
I react to that

I still use VHS once in a while today, I love living 90s
Same

I love living 80s and im 16... i record mainly vhs
Really? Wow. You must be interesting.
J crash the only think that made 90 suck is The Rock
The 80's... Before the KarTRASHian's and reality TV shows and when MTV WAS MUSIC television.
Yes!
Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
U2 & Blondie
Music still on MTV...
Lived it😎.
I was born in 2005 and I hate every one of these things.
I still have my VHS reader and use it perfectly!
VINTAGE RULES!

Conversation, talking with people and actually listening. Knowing how to write effectively.
Nah. People have always been people. Some kids couldn't look away from their books or sketchpads. People who wrote into tv news stations or newspapers to complain were just as un-grammarly as they are today. Trolls used mimeograph machines to copy crude jokes/cartoons that got passed around and around (memes), or sent chain letters.
We still take English class (where you learn to write effectively) and go to school where you talk to people I mean if anything kids nowadays are more social and better at talking to each other due to social media
@@christianjoseph6502 some students at my old high-schools could barely read and a lot of them were slightly illiterate.
I still miss video rental stores such a nice experience and so many memories of discovering some amazing movies and games
VHS is not obsolete. It's 2019 and they still work. 📼
They work yeah, but no one literally under the age of 50 uses it.
I'm only 29 and even we in freaking 3rd world croatia started using DVD's in the early 2000s
they discontinued it in 2016
Eragon was the last movie released on VHS.
Yeah, for me, VHS is a present, not past. I am still using it to record something. Movies etc.
The last VHS was made in 2016 (Funai). By the time this video was made, it was still actually being made...

+CKL EVERYTHING Heck, when I was a kid I had to wait until a movie came on network TV...then had to sit through all of the cuts and commercials.
VHSs weren't THAT terrible. It took years for digital storage to cost-effectively replace them for large amount of recording. Some VHS tapes under certain modes could record around 9 hours of content.
Peter Schmidt IKR
VHS was great.I still have and use them as well as dvd
I _still_ have my old Disney VHS tapes.
Vhs tapes cost like a dollar nowadays vs dvds that can be anywhere from $5-20 🤷🏽♀️ any movie worth watching from the early 2000s on down is out there at a goodwill just begging to be played again.
Yeah! And they were far better than some first dvds released.
See kids back in my day, we used to have VHS tapes to play our favorite movies and it was great unique thing to have on your TV. You can pause, play, rewind, and fast forward. We didn't have to worry about subscriptions to watch movies like y'all have on your digital devices.
Who remember flip phone was the only popular back then
And in some early phone, you had to pull out an antenna. Just funny! Seriously, an antenna!
Lol an antenna.
who remembers the portable phone from the 70s, it was the size of half your arm, portable didn't always mean pocket sized.
ViableNebula9’s Gaming flip phones suck
And on some phones, the antenna did absolutely nothing! It was just there for show!
You underestimate us. I'm 15, and I knew literally everything on the list. I regularly use, or know how to use them all, and have a walkman, and diskman.
I have to be honest here. It's the 25+ gang that likely don't know a lot of this list. Your generation is starting to see how badly things got messed up and you're starting to come back down to Earth. If we could skip the part where the millennials rule the world and go straight to you folks, we might make it for another few generations.
You have my respect, sir.
Me too and the comments above you typing and trying to generalize us, I am 14, saying that we didn't know any of these thing but I am the complete opposite I really didn't know about the internet until 2012 before that I was stuck with a PlayStation 2 and then after a Xbox 360 and until 2018 I got an xbox one. I also have somewhere my vcr,my walkman,and among some other things
Makes me miss my R2-D2 walkman.
Well the thing is most of y'all don't know this many facts or care about the past

I miss VHS tapes so much. I'm now super nostalgic and I'm 18 only, and I'll never forgive my mom for giving our VCR to her friend :(
Thrift stores are your friend
You can still buy them at Saver's thrift store.
I just bought a vcr at savers. I hope it works ! LOL
I don't know why but the :( face get's me every time XD
thinking about the tapes brings back sooo many memories it makes my cry if have kids I'll tell them about the tapes VCRs and all the good stuff they had even on fucking previews those were so much more lively and I lost them all in a move me and my brother were heart broken

I congrats you, it happens the same to me, i would give everything to live in the 80's and 90's, but no, i had to born in 2004...
I'm almost 21 and I recognized and knew what all of these things were. Most of them I used myself as a kid and the ones I didn't were just too expensive at the time for me to have. A beeper was one of them. My parents never saw the need for us to have one and plus they tended to be expensive. I don't remember having a DVD player until maybe the mid-2000's. They were just so damn expensive. I grew up with VHS tapes and still love them! I still have a VCR and if I can find a movie I want on VHS, that's the format I get. Plus there's nothing more satisfying, in my opinion, than a VHS collection full of the classics and some neat unknown gems. As for video stores, some of my favourite memories of my childhood were of me and my family going to the video store to rent some tapes and occasionally buy a few. It wasn't as bad as this video says. I loved it! I wish kids these days could have gotten that same feeling of finding a really cool movie you've been searching for at the video store. Plus the cover art back then was so cool and creative. Nothing better.
yah but you're not a child today hahahehe
still use a blu ray and dvd player not every films is on line so you still need some means of playing d.v.ds got my d.v.d player in 2016 along with my blu ray player so very let to the game
Maybe some of us just like having a HARD COPY of movies & tv series?
I still have a few hundred vhs tapes because they were never released on dvd, "nightmare on elm st the series" as an example, or because they are collectors editions with photos, books, lighters, or other additions to make the set more desirable.
YESS!!! I loved going to Movie Gallery to pick up movies on VHS. It was like an adventure to a teenage me. I know, I sound old, but I'm only 35. XD Anyway, the *Worst* part of using a VCR is when the dang thing ate your tapes. Ugh... Still... I have the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS, and will keep it that way; I wouldn't buy the DVD of it.
The good ol' days. I loved my walkman, watching VHS, rollerblading, playing outside and watching the 90s cartoons. I enjoyed my childhood. Many kids don't know what they're missing because they're always on the internet, smartphones and tablets playing shit and staying indoors.
Right! Even the earlier cartoons that your mom and dad used to watch!
I actually wish blockbuster came back:(

I was born in 1994
As a kiddo who was born in 2001. I love collecting these older consoles. Im currently looking for the "Color TV Game" that was made by Nintendo in the late 70's, only released in Japan though. Its just a Pong console though. I also love the Japanese version of the NES which is the "Family Computer" or "Famicom". It had this expansion that used Floppy Disks and it was called Famicom Disk System. Zelda, Metroid and Kid Icarus originated from this system.
I was born in 2006 but I grew up loving volton, he-man, and loony toons!
Reggie, I was born 10 years later in 1988. I still cant believe its almost 31 years later and things have changed. None of the things we grew up with functionally exist today. My childhood is basically obsolete. Life is indeed very very short.
VHS was cool because you could forward through all the warnings and piracy is bad and all that stuff
My man
But my dogs always found a way to open the cabinet and ripped out the tape :(
Bbbbooooooooo
I guess this dog would also be able to scratch a DVD...
Exactly.
Not saying these little kids aren't cute but why do they have smart phones, IPODs and such now? They should be out playing a bit more before they get immersed with all of this technology, even though they do need so outer technology now and in the future. Years from now the things they now think are cool will be outdated and some kids will be laughing at what they think is cool.
Rosemarie Kury parents have become reliant on the technology to "raise" the kids. The more things to distract and calm down, keep them out of the parents hair and whatnot is what has happened.
It's a sad thing and you can spot it right away....as i am a mother, i chose to raise my daughter in the same manner as I was.
Smart phones stupid people
because the world is running on technology its like asking why in the 1800s these kids want to go to cities
theres always needs and demands
Everyone still knows what these are, I’m 15 and I still know everything here and I imagine a 10 year old could still get most of these

they used to print the TV schedule for each week in the Sunday paper. (maybe they still do, we haven't had cable for about 10 years now.)
my mom used to always cut it out and tape it to the inside of the cupboard and circle things we wanted to watch. things for just her was always circled in red. lol. we would check the listing every night at dinner time and see what was on that night. when we finally got a VCR she would circle things in blue that she wanted to record. it seemed so complicated at the time and I thought she was like some evil genius for always knowing what was on and when. now pretty much anything is on when ever we want. crazy how things have changed so much in a generation. I don't think my parents generation had things too differently then their parents. it just seems our gen took this HUGE jump with the introduction of the smart phone and computers, and internet.

That was me to a "T", I mean EXACTLY like me, EXACTLY, well, except mocking the kids in the end, but I'd be out front of the apartment complex roller skating, or riding my Schwinn Scrambler, you probably had a Huffy...LOL, or I'd be playing football in the street or catch, and I'd hear the Ice Cream Man from blocks away, I mean like blocks away, our Ice Cream Man always played this song,
th-cam.com/video/P21GD97ljSY/w-d-xo.html
That's how I met my best friend Byron and Gina, I ran inside to get some money from my mom, she gave me a five dollar bill, I ran back outside and had to chase him down the street because he had already passed, Gina and Byron came running too, but while I was standing at the window buying stuff they were just looking up with sad faces, I was like 8, Byron was probably 7 and Gina was like 6, I don't remember for sure, but I remember asking them why they weren't getting anything and they were like, "We don't have any money" and I said, "That's OK, I'll get it for you" and so, Byron got a paper bag filled with stuff, Gina got a paper bag filled with stuff, and I got a paper bag filled with stuff, AND I still had money left over to give my mom, I remember when an ice cream cost 25 cents, I usually got the red, white, and blue pop, maybe a missile, my mom used to buy those in the store so it wasn't really a treat, you had to get the ice cream that mom never would buy, heck, I remember standing in front of the open freezer on a hot summer day and getting yelled at for it, but my other go to was the Fun Dip, and then when the chocolate and banana Popsicle came out, oh man, that was good, and sometimes the mint chocolate chip sandwich, that was Gina's favorite flavor, but yea, those were the days, oh yea, I lived at 51 Lester Ave in San Jose, in case you wanted to look at it on google maps, that was the perfect street to play football on, and right down the street from the park, I remember the street corners before they had the handicap ramps, me and my other friend would ride our bikes to the park carrying a couple bats, like 3 or 4 balls, a couple mitts, and dropping all of it if we didn't hit the curb right, I sure do miss childhood.
It was around early 1980 that a "video shop" opened in our area. You could rent the VCR+3 video films for 24 hours...can't remember the cost. But guess what? Once you'd seen all 3 films that same evening (!!), you passed everything on to your neighbours - who also crammed in the entertainment - before the 24 hours were up and you had to take all the items back to the shop. As far as the shop was concerned, you took everything home - and brought it straight back the next day (with all the tapes re-wound). No one else was involved. Of course, the following weekend, the neighbours would rent the set-up - and we would benefit too! Fast forward (!!) a couple of years when everyone had their own VCR's - but still had to rent the films. This time, the films did the rounds not only with the neighbours, but several other households - before being returned. The guys in the shop were none the wiser (as far as we knew!).

Oh yes. When it came to recording your favorite songs on audio cassette. You’re lucky if you were able to catch the song at the beginning, had good reception, and the DJ wouldn’t interupt before the song ended.

The good thing about VHS was you owned it these days if you record something on your DVR you're cable company can delete it bc they own the box or if its up on the cloud they own that too.
Same here. I'm 19, I still watch tapes almost daily, and they will never be outdated in this house. And yes, DVRs suck. Mainly, they serve as a temporary holding spot while I find a way to permanently archive the program...usually on a tape.

"THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY IN THIS CLIP AND THOSE WHO LAUGH AT IT ARE SIMPLY SHALLOW-MINDED"
17 July 2020 - @
I am 63 years old and I have always tried to be fair. Having said that, the clip shows a totally different concept: The new generation is thinking in terms of digital means while the previous generations learned to think in terms of mechanical means. Those young men are the product of the Digital Era. They have no knowledge of mechanical means. What they are doing proves that if you look carefully, and, they are quite smart in their own way trying to work it out without having learned anything from anyone about it.
Regardless of 'understanding' and the 'rule of logic', the truth is that those who know how to dial a number on a rotary phone did not come to this world with the knowledge: They all learned it through watching how it was done or learned it from someone else who knew [who also learned it from someone else] and, as my wife mentioned, there is no point in knowing anything related to obsolete methods. Most of the computer savvy people do not know how to work with DOS 1.0 [released in 1981 as 'IBM PC DOS'], do they? That operating system was the base for Windows. Are we laughing at them because they don't know how to work with DOS 1.0? I'd like to ask their parents [or whoever was testing them], who I am sure know how to work with a computer, if they understand DOS 1.0 and can work with it. I'd very much like to see them struggling with a simple DOS Command, such as 'Open Directory' or 'Open Folder'.
Laughing at those young men is simply a very shallow way of thinking. I am sorry if I am a little harsh here, but I could not keep it to myself especially when I looked at some of the comments. I actually felt sorry for those who thought it was funny laughing at them or asked if they could do this or that. You did not come to this world with the knowledge of everything you know now, did you? I think not, you, like everybody else, learned everything from another person.
AA
That's very reassuring.
P.S. not everything here is easy as frick. For instance, your DOS bit reminded me of Arch Linux, which is pretty similar (a CLI-based operating system)
