“There’s nothing wrong with being addicted to social media” Dude, the first step curing an addiction is admitting that you have a problem. You... have a problem.
Having a social need and using social media is not wrong. I bet that you use it all the time to get your fix. Social media is just are next step in our evolution.
@@rileyglennwatters What evolution? It's totally a devolution because social media addiction makes people isolated and socially inept! It's just as bad as being alone but you trick your brain into giving you that social dopamine hit when you really didin't to jack shit to deserve it.
@@Crossfire12312 you are seeing it as an addiction. It is evolution as a species. It’s called globalization, being able to communicate instantly gives us a step up from our very distant predators and competitors. Also We don’t have to learn something by going to a library or just remembering it. We have knowledge at our fingertips. You literally use this shit everyday as a tool.
@TechMasterJason and that's what I did too. And I feel so much better withouth boys and girls same aged not tagging me on stupid posts and fake friendship like... they don't even realized I left. They have my phone number, they just don't call me, so I guess they don't search for me on facebook, just like in real life. (Sorry for grammar mistakes)
@@dilligaf9250 well i can understand you,i can tell you that they wont remember either your birthday just like most people today...if facebook mentions it they will remember it..only a couple of yours mostly family members will remember it.But it had to do and how people are grown up and how they think.I prefer not talking all day on social media with friends because i think its better to say everything from face to face rather saying everything on Facebook or Instagram.Im mostly talking with 2-3 people on Instagram who are not in my place so i can hold the relationship with them.
2000 : We Will Have Flying Cars In 2018 2018 : Let's Go Back To 2000 EDIT : To all those incredibly smart humans reminding me that it's 2021, this video was uploaded in 2018
The early 2000s were a much simpler time...from time to time I wish I could go back. Technology was less intrusive back then, and you could appreciate it more when you used it in moderation. The level of advancement over the last 10 years is amazing but most of the new technology really isn’t revolutionary like the new unveiled products used to be
It's because we don't really get "new" products anymore. Just new iterations of already existing ones. Seem's like human technology is peaking, for now.
2:27 what you’re missing is... 1. Friends to drop by unexpectedly to chill 2. A Nokia with £5 credit and no privacy issues 3. stuff on the tv worth watching 4. That happy creative vibe from before the 2007 crash 5. More spending money/less misery if you’re skint (probably no broadband, Netflix, Spotify, smartphone contract, console pass etc to pay every month plus better pay in real terms)
The first thing that comes to my mind when i think of "early 2000s" is something like ... "ah yeah, it was a couple years ago or something, like 5-6 years". Then i realize its over 15 years and feel sad lol
@@benmcdonnell85 Yeah, defintly. Early 2000s is not that far off though. Time's have gotten better for introverts over the years. The 70's and 80s looked cool but it likely would have been hell if you were a nerd.
"There's nothing wrong with being addicted so social media." That's what smokers say about their addiction too. Smokers say drinking is worse, drinkers say drugs are worse, etc etc.
This isn't about missing "nice things" from today. This is about you in withdrawal from your addiction to worthless crap from today. You say people don't get together as much anymore and then go to say that social media is a great thing you can't live without.
Right. This is literally just a withdrawal rant; nothing else. Just listening to this dude whine about "I can't do the same thing everyday" is just very ironic... If you're truly passionate about something; you would do it, without question. I'm the epitome of living in the 2000s, and I don't need to use a dated CRT-TV to express that. It's expressed through the clothes I wear, the music I listen to, the media I consume, the personality I've RETAINED (through actually living in the 2000s), etc.
Really good idea. But really poor execution. There is more to do than Videogames and movies. You could've done this project with some friends, go through the musical trends of those days, fashion and clothing, old activities and such. If I were you, I would redo this, but better.
I think exactly the same as you. You can't just watch some movies and play some video games from 20 years ago, it's much more than that, it's all around you, including trends that are part of the era you're in. It's always easier to speculate about the future than to relive the past. por cierto Alex White, grande verte por aquí.
Hate to tell you but the style has not changed since the 2000 shit even a lot of 90's style is used today. Also a Alpha never call's someone Beta just so you know.
What's so funny is that nothing from the 2000s is fundamentally different. We've made staggering _incremental_ change but, they changes are in degree NOT kind. Anything from 98 and after was relatively the same as now. There's nothing you wouldn't recognize if you jumped forward 20 years, the graphics are just better now but, its nothing game changing. As someone who was born in the 80s, I was thinking back on this and I'm more shocked at how much changed in the 90s alone than the 18 years since. To be fair, things got _super_ sophisticated and polished around the 2000s and were probably at the last edge of breakthrough changes in consumer products landscape - there just isnt a lot of room for improvement now other than more if the same for less. I mean, raytracing and bloom adds some nice atmosphere but, its not groundbreaking like going from NES to Quake in sonething like 4 years. Cell phones weren't a brick, they were just shitty low res monochrome flip phones. Movies were actually better in some regards as they had perfected in on camera and practical effects but, prob wouldn't attempt something like Avatar or other heavy CG... then again, episode 1 came out around then and the Coruscant scenes were game changing. If you had a decently powerful PC, w.o. crapware, you could easily get really good graphics from Homeworld, Quake series, etc.
That remembers me of back in the day when we had an PC with an INtel 486 i think running Win95 and my father started M$ Office then he goes to our kitchen makes coffee (with a normal coffee machine of course) drinks 2 or 3 cups smokes a cigarette and then get back in the living room and office is fully loaded and opens up.
I was 19 in the year 2000. And this was not how I lived it. Me and my friends were starting college, we would still hit up the malls, concerts were a big thing. We were always trying to meet girls on AIM to hang out at coffee shops, or download music from Napster but thats it . Not too many people had laptops, you still had the main computer..so hanging out in the internet all day wasn't fun. Gaming took a back seat to life, especially when you were trying to move forward in college and socializing with real people at the bars, etc. Oh, and almost every 19 year old I knew back then had a job. You are doing it wrong.
Correct. I was 12 and my bro was 18 in 2000 and altho there was plenty of epic Games by then like CS, quake 3, unreal tournament, final fantasy etc, it all took a backseat to being out living life
@the middle man thats true, Cable TV was the true pointless electronic time sink back in those days the internet wasn't nothing like what it is today haha
in 2000 i was kid one year before to start school for first time so small kid i was like in 7 or 8 years one year before to start school bc in 2001 year i start class 1 in school and for that 2000 i remember i have it only one nes console i not have it pc i get 5 years later my first pc but before that in 2000s amazing this dude is right the people not going out today now everyone just playing online games today i like how before in 2001 year when i start class 1 in school how everyday when i finish school i go to my nightbour girlfriend to we do the homework together and then when we finish with the homewerk we ride bikes and some day when we not have school like you know 2 days whith no school we play everyday or stay in her home outside on one table and we talk just some story what we create in the kids brains what we have you know some stuoid and in the same time fun storyes and the day outside was cool with good sun hot day dam it was the best days for my life true we have strong pc or the kids today have ps4 or ps5 im 27 years old and thats the stupid thing bc we have strong pc and ps consoles now the kids today will have good games i try it them too today bc im born in the start in the games with nes consoles and sega but the cool part was that how to isay it that with the nightbour girl i have all day fun outside as a kid the kids today will nothave that fun to talks for jokes and fun fake storyes today they just playing online together games is true have good graphics but is stupid that the kids today not play outside when i was kid so much kids we was in the front of my home and play today i see only 3 little kids brothers and they are like my nightbours bc they are close to my home to and one more small kid so real now have only 4 kids and only 3 of them ride bikes for somall time and then they go all day home and play games thats all today they are not like how to was in my time my time was more amazing for that this dude in the video is right
@@tonyscoleri384 it just gets worse buddy LMAO! in a few years you will look at music videos from 2019 on youtube and see the endless NOSTALGIA!!! comments from high schoolers and feel like crap it happened to me 10 or so years ago :(
The late 90s - early 00s is my passion. I'm constantly living my life like it was the early 2000s. I still use MSN Messenger, I still watch VHS tapes and listen to music with my MP3 or walkman. I still buy CDs and tapes, I still use my Nintendo 64 with the same TV I used to have back then. I use Windows 95 monitor and keyboard on a Windows Vista that I designed to look like a Windows 2000. I even bought Kodak to take pictures of my nights out with friends. I'm having fun with it!
With the greatest of respect this was hardly attempting to live in the early 00's. Where's the reading newspapers, printing out maps, listening to early 00's music and dressing in an early 00's way?
The early 2000s hmm when people had respect and had a thing called life you guy s don't understand in the new millennium we didn't care that their wasn't as much media around if we wanted to talk to someone we called on a landline phone or what is now called a basic phone social media brings out the evil in us we should get out an talk to people in person instead of on a dahm computer we don't know how to communicate anymore and everything is looked at as this is this this is this how about it's a movie it's a show for freaking entertainment I want to help not judge but you have to see that sometimes we need to step away from the evils of social media
Everyone in 2040 will look back on 2020 thinking how did we actually live like that? You never think the stuff you're doing now will ever get out dated but it will.
in 2040 it will be 1985, people will realize the devastating effects of "illusion living" they will realize that communication is not through pixelated reflections of reality. The more we look for feelings within the matrix , the more the matrix overtakes reality. The more reality is overtaken , the less alive we become.
There was already some form of social media back then (Friendster, MySpace and early FB). Only difference back then is you can't them with you on the go like we do now.
@@mcoeif Now it has definitely taken over 90% of interaction. You used to have to rock up and converse face to face. Now you can simply just check up with eachother on the phone and talk while gaming online .
Cominh back here after two years, this is still the most underdeveloped video you have. It begs repeating, Movies and video games aren't the only thing you could have done. The music, the tv shows, the fashion, the OTHER tech products of the time like the iPod and Windows XP, emo culture, internet forums. All of what made the 2000s the way it did was left out of this excercise.
I mean, only watching Tom Hanks movies from the 2000s and only play on PS2? That ain’t the 2000, bro. Maybe he could’ve listened to Eminem or Linkin Park and watch TV shows like Friends or something. And if he’s gonna play Video Games all week, then he could’ve at least played on the other platforms like the DS, the GameCube, the Dreamcast, but nah he just played on the PS2.
Yeah this dude just played ps2 games all week like I don’t even think most of the people that owned a ps2 back in the day actually played it as much they more so just owned it because it was Sony and had a couple games they wanted
@@ItsLelingTime yeah the ps2 is definitely the least early 2000 early 2000 console from that generation the Xbox has the whole 2000s surreal futurism about it and the Dreamcast and GameCube in general were a lot more core late 90s early 2000s than either along with that he could’ve watched other movies and tv shows from the time listened to music from MP3 players or iPods etc
Agreed, 2000's games as a whole were way better than these last 8 years. Classics like Fallout New Vegas, Borderlands, Oblivion, Runescape, the older call of duties, and more just to name some of the popular ones were massive.
Same here, I already had a slim ps2 but I wanted to be able to play my games without the discs so I bought a phat ps2 and put a 250gb hard drive in it :p
Yeah, that's exactly what he did. There's a lot more to that period than a PS2 and an old CRT TV. But to truly experience living in the early 2000's, you need everyone to live in that period too (which is impossible). You need all businesses revert back to their old ways, like for example, record companies releasing and promoting CD's or car manufacturers releasing old models of their cars. And then there's always the excitement of going out to buy something that was (at the time) technologically advanced (like an old Nokia phone or a CD player). And the excitement and anticipation of upcoming events (big concerts, big game..etc). And because we were all living that period together, we used to talk and have discussions about everything that was going on, whether it was a popular TV show or politics or anything. Finally, having a Myspace account in 2005 is nothing like having one in 2018. Nobody's on that website anymore, so you just can't experience it now. Anyway, it was never really half as boring as this guy made it seem.
There was still social media in the early 2000s. People were connected via the Internet, but not as extreme as it is today. Email and IM sites were huge though. After school, you would go email your crush and IM your friends. Then go outside and chill til the sun went down. The internet was very slow back then though, and not everyone had computers or laptops. Especially laptops. So the biggest way to communicate would be in person or phone calls. It's crazy how technology drives our social lives nowadays.
Which is one of tha reasons why I don't be on social media much. I still love to make friends and connect worldwide BACK IN THA DAY, just typing dat disqusted me due to tha fact how social media is now and got ruined
+Stix N' Stones I think social media is good because it allows people to talk to other people that you wouldn't have a chance of meeting in real life and it makes it easy to talk to my friends because I have Selective Mutism
I was born in January 2007. I remember my older cousins use to go to sleep overs, play outside, and play video games. Despite being so young from a few months old to a few years old I still have a very good memory and remember all the times they carried me in my stroller, to the beach, and to play video games, it was so incredibly lovely and thinking back on it I feel so happy. I honestly wish I was a teenager in the early 2000’s it seems so incredible.
Dawg you were barely alive and werent even conscious while the 2000s were happening. You've been around Iphones & tablets & PCs your whole life which is something few from our generation (gen z) ever got to experience a life without.
@@TayDays1128 But I was conscious. I remember a lot as a baby like holding my newborn brother in 2008, being baby sat by my older sister when my parents needed to be somewhere, watching my older cousin play board games with their friends, the beach, the people, and so much more. It’s fine if you don’t believe me but you can’t take away my experience by saying I never experienced it yk.
It didn't disappoint me. I remember the 2000's. I wore the big hoody Gap jackets, Tommy Hilfiger t-shirts and hung out with the neighborhood kids. I do remember the technology even when Steve Jobs created the ipod and I thought it was pretty cool. I mostly watched TV, played with my dog or play my CDs on the stereo didn't have my own TV till highschool. But I do miss the old technology but appreciate the new things because we have more access to things. 🙂
I kinda feel sorry you can't quite experience the feeling I felt in the early 2000's. I can't really describe how the atmosphere itself felt, but I'd have to say I really miss the 2006 era the most. The cartoons, the movies, the flash games, hell I even miss the commercials.
not true at all when you have kids that werent alive to experience the 80s/90s/2000s wanting to go back to live those times. Maybe there was something special that existed then that doesnt exist now.
@@TayDays1128literally me😂 although i WAS alive in 2003-09 but from 0-6 years old but exactly, i LOVE the 50s-90s & wish i could've experienced any of those decades instead
@DaBoomerYe You might like 50s or 60s but you don't miss them, because you were not born back then. We usually tend to romanticize our childhood, because everything seems so innocent, we had plenty of free time to play with our friends without having to worry about work, housing, bills etc. This is nostalgia.
It would be easier to pretend to live in the 1950s than it would to pretend to live in the early 2000s. In the 2000s you have all this semi modern technology, but it’s the fact that it’s semi modern that makes it so difficult. Having internet so slow you want to pull your hair out is more frustrating than having no internet at all.
Trav in the Box I spent most of the early 2000s with no internet. We didn't get internet til like 2003/2004 and even then I wasn't online often until 2005 which is way past "Early 2000s" at that point. And guess what? I had a very fun childhood back then. I didn't need the internet. I mean cartoons, video games and movies were better than any website at the time (at least for someone 6-10 years old) and we actually played outside with other kids around the neighbourhood. The internet was just a past time now people treat it like it's second only to reality. It's sad. Oh, and I did have slow internet back then. Whatever. Not like I did anything important anyway unless going on Newgrounds, Ebaumsworld prank call soundboards or watching Smosh on CZcams was considered "important."
BadgerCheese94 I’m with you on that man. For a long time the internet was not that great if you were a kid. It was just something to do if you were bored out of your skull. It was just too slow. Same thing with flip phones. They were fun to mess around on, but I didn’t take them too seriously. I remember in fourth grade when my school got the first macbooks. We were like wow, the future is truly here. The effect of how much time we have spent on the internet won’t be seen for years. We are a generation of guinea pigs.
Trav in the Box I didn't even know what a "Macbook" was when I was in 4th grade lol I just knew "This is a computer." At that age (9) my focus on computers was playing pinball or this Jimmy Neutron game for the PC wjth my cousin or occasionally the internet and looking at funny pictures. I don't think we used computers at school until middle school. For reference, 4th grade for me was 2003/2004. Scratch that I do think I used the computer once or twice in elementary but God knows I don't remember what we did on it lol. Probably some stupid computer math quiz sometime around 2001ish. Growing up though it was always these bulky PC monitors. Crazy how dated they look now. Computers in general were just a THING when I was a kid. To me they weren't as entertaining as TV, VCRs or Playstations. It wasnt til I was 11-12 that I was interested in computers and the online world.
BadgerCheese94 Yeah I was born a little bit later than you in 97. It doesn’t seem like that would make much of a difference, but it really does. It’s almost like every 3 or 4 years is a new generation these days. Things change so rapidly.
Trav in the Box Well I consider Gen Z to start in 1998 so I say you just barely made the millennial cut lol. And yea. My main worry is that outdoor play becomes less common though where I live now I see lots of kids outside. Yet again I live in one of the most outdoorsy states in America. I am gonna be a dad in the next few years so making sure my kids get the right balance of exercise and imaginational use is super important. Unlike my dad, I won't be caveman like toward video games lol but I won't be super permissive either. At some point you gotta turn the game off and get some fresh air.
I was 17 in 2001. It was near impossible to secretly talk to girls then. You had to call their parents house and use the regular phone. Couldn't call after 9 or 10pm and stuff like that. We had America Online chat but most chicks weren't allowed to use it much . My big crush that lived down the road was always grounded and never allowed to do anything. It was like she was locked up in North Korea! Impossible to contact her and maintain a friendship much less anything more. It really sucked. But today everyone is in constant contact and that can suck as well. You can't escape from social life and just take a break from it . When I was in high school it all ended when I got home and didn't begin until the next day .
Ya he didn't LIVE for a week LIKE the early 2000's you just stayed in side and did with out current living style. You could have had a lot of fun but you wimped out, wined and stayed inside.
From my perspective as a 21-year-old, you made the early 2000's out to be a time period that was impossible to live in. But dude, you could still go out, eat at restaurants, go to the mall, visit the movie theater, jam out with your iPod, play some cool Gameboy games like the Legend of Zelda, dance out on DDR, and still hang out with friends. I was just a little kid during that time but that was pretty much what I did during that decade and the time passed by fast. Honestly, I miss the days when people weren't constantly complaining about being unable to access their social media accounts, their smartphones, or their tablets. Your whole life doesn't revolve around a freaking website or an Apple product. Go out with friends and family and experience the world around you.
When 2000s started I was 8 almost 9 but the 2000s was better than 2010s but the 90s was better than the 2000s but both decades i have fond memories of the most traumatic events that happened in the 90s and 2000s was the Oklahoma bombing in 1995, columbine in 1999 and 9/11 in 2001 but that's nothing compared to today's world more evil is in today's world
If I were to simulate early 2000s life, I would not only switch my current consoles with the 6th gen and switch my TV with a CRT...I would load 2000s sites on the wayback machine, buy food brands that a kid/teen would eat during that time, watch 2000s shows and cartoons, read comics released before 2010, binge the Spider-Man trilogy, rock out to songs from the era, make trashy amvs... Basically emulate the whole aesthetic right down to the dot. Hell I'd even edit together downloaded episodes with commercials and burn 'em onto a disc for this
That's kinda what I did. I decided during lockdown that since I was getting depressed alot and the whole world was on fire that I turn my room into a early to mid 2000s room. Bought a princess crt with DVD player, got my PS2 and GameCube out with all their games that I still have, got DVDs of stuff I use to watch like Ed edd and Eddy powerpuff girls season 1 of SpongeBob Rugrats ECT and found my Mario kart bed sheets that I had as a kid now I couldn't use all of it cause I have a full sized bed now but I used the pillow cases and blanket, and among other electronics. It was a blast and got me out of my funk. I still have my room like this to this very day every now and then I will plug up my flat screen TV in my room but mostly I keep it like 2000s. I decided since everything else in the house is modern that my room will be a slice of early 2000s a retreat from work and responsibility. And it's a great comfort when sick. Really after decorating my room like this kinda want to do another room set in the 80s or 90s it's just so cool to just open a door and walk into another time period.
You hit the nail on the head- everyone who does this kind of video tries to continue living the way we do now and we just simply did not spend all that time inside- we used to meet up with friends and family, go out and walk to the shop.... things were more balanced than they are now. If you’re worried about social media I would suggest doing what I did and encourage your friends to use messenger in a group chat and then leave normal forms of social media- Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. It’s much healthier, stops you endlessly scrolling away your time and start living again... plus it actually makes you interact with your friends more! There’s a tendency to just observe and leave a like instead of actually talking properly to each other on social media.
*I played early 2000's video games for a week and watched old movies"* Fixed the title You focused on nothing else but video games and television. Hardly what LIFE was like in that decade.
Yeah. He should've called and text people on an old brick phone and gone out or invited friends over to play videogames, maybe gone out to watch an old movie or just visit a park or the mall. Something.
The idea is fine. You lack imagination. You stuck only to technology. There are many other forms of media. You didn't explore books or music or fashion or food. You just played with your old video games and computer. You put no real effort into this project.
Also, in the 2000's social media was still a big thing. Most of us teenagers were addicted to talking to 30 people at once on MSN messenger, putting music on each others myspace pages and going into internet chat rooms about a topic we enjoyed. The fact that we had to restrict internet time was not due to 'it not being good' but more due to the fact that dial-up blocked the phone line and parents did not like this all night! Gaming was a huge thing, but thanks to the lack of twitch, youtube and other streaming sites there wasn't the mega money in it that there is now. The reason that he does not go out and interact with friends much anymore is not the fault of social media, it is also a thing with growing up. - As you leave school and get a job, your priorities change, and you don't want to always be out. You want to relax in your home that you pay to rent or own. Not hang out somewhere else. Also, as you have to pay your own way and earn your own money you naturally put a cost barrier on activities. When you were a child/teenager parents often cover the cost or you are content with free things to do. Some things change because you age, not because the date has changed. In the UK, it can be classed as 'anti social' if a group of more than 4 youths congregate somewhere. This gives councils and the police powers to move them on or ban them from that area in future. - They don't have to be doing anything wrong either. In my day we used to get moaned at by the police or locals for 'hanging around' but they had no power to do anything about it. - People wonder why online gaming or social media is more appealing to modern teenagers than going out? Nostalgia really blinds people to what the past was like, often with 'it was better in my day' attitude. But if you look back, things are often better in the now. An example - My first car when I learnt to drive was an old car that used to break down a lot and be a bit tatty. Now, many 17 year olds get nearly new cars here in the UK, because they are often much cheaper to insure. Cars are easier to buy on finance and the country's culture gets more on credit than ever before. Also, with the modern generation being less technical than the past, the skill of maintaining your own car has reduced, meaning reliability counts for a lot more.
Windzu it differs day to day. Being a homeowner and parent means there are always things that I should be doing... Procrastination is a big thing though, putting off jobs because I want to play PS4 or have a lie in. Then there is all the commuting and overtime... I used to have shedloads of free time when I was a student, before having a family, when renting and when there was no overtime at work. Now I spend the free time I have enjoying as much family time as I can before they go to bed 😁
Wade Wilson totally agree with you, even doing a video only about 00's tech there are plenty of multi-player games you can play alongside your friends and stuff, you where lack of imagination. Believe that you were a very very young lad, now I want to see you doing the same but with 90's. I really enjoyed those decades and I still reliving them. Give it a chance
Jonathan K. No because that would actually require editing a real video. It's much easier to be a lazy click baiting piece of shit and just record old video games with tech that isn't from 2005.
That’s what I’m saying like I’m on a road trip and watched this wholllee Shit to see something interesting and this was some bullshit with one game and one site 😂😂😂
Next time, he should rent a car from the 90s, use 56k internet. Get an old Nokia, that all you could do is play snake and make calls, because texting was $0.50 per text. Play nothing but early 2000s CDs. Bonus points for using a radio recording from the 2000s. Ride your bike more than drive, because gas just jumped up to $1.75 per gallon, and you're not going to pay that much because it's absolutely fucking ridiculous. Use tube TV's a s VCRs, because I'm not shelling out $75 for a DVD player, then $25 per DVD. And screw blockbuster and their Nazi late fees. Then get depressed because I started highschool 18 years ago.
I used to love that static feeling when you would turn on an old TV and just rub your hands over the screen making all your hand/arm hairs get stuck to the screen
I get hit with massive nostalgia of the very early 2000's and sometimes even the 90's pretty often even though I was born too late to experience it. Any video with those big dates displayed on the corner of the screen just hits so hard and makes me wish I could go back and see what I missed. I would do quite a lot of things for the ability to go back to like 2002 or 2004 for a few weeks just to see how things were, visiting places I've visited before, to see what I missed. Maybe even meet my parents at a time before I was born. Maybe 2020 has me just wanting things to be normal again idk.
I'd say pain-wise, it's better that you didn't live through it just because you can only guess what it was like and hence it's not accurate. The things that suck about now are overexposure to entertainment/stimulation/attention whoring and how PC everything is. The internet 15-20 years ago was huge because there were no monopoly companies and there was very little censorship, though TV shows or anything like that was a bit hard to find, so what I considered "unbelievably long" internet sessions were like 2 hours (compared to today's 12+ hours a day). One thing I always think of in terms of the scarcity of online video is that there was a popular show I wanted to watch, but despite how popular it was, there wasn't anywhere to watch it online, so the only way I could was to get up on weekdays at 5am to watch it on TV. It made shows/music, etc. seem valuable because you either bought it or watched it live or you didn't at all. One last thing is that back then when you didn't have access to infinite videos, etc., if you were starry-eyed about Japan or California or wherever, you mostly had what you saw on TV to go by, so other places seemed very exotic and mysterious because you mainly had your imagination. Yes, I typed this comment through tears.
There is a difference between living in the early 2000s and only using the tech and media from the early 2000s. You are only experiencing a very small fraction of what it was like. I was in my late teens to early 20s in that time and it was a really cool time, but I really prefer the 90s over any other decade.
And I am sure during your college days, you would saved your work on your floppy disc instead of flash drive. Since you mentioned you were at your 20s in that early 2000s, that would be your college experience. Would the cool time be the late 90s were you experienced your 1st college semester?
I've been slowly cutting away from my social media and it's had the opposite effect purging my depression, realizing that world isn't as Bleak as people make it on social media but on a bad note also noticing how many people are actually devoted to the slave drivers.
I grew up in the 90's, I loved it, Playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for a little bit, then grab my board and skate with the homies for the rest of the day. During the summer, the entire block got together at an empty parking lot and we played tag football, hockey with roller blades, soccer and basketball. I think you didnt have a good time making this video because all you did was play games and didnt do much besides that. One thing i did every day was hang out with all sorts of friends.
Oscar Rodriguez real talk man, still knocked on the door to see if friends were home, still had house phone, phone numbers on a piece of paper man LMAO good times
Even with social media and stuff that’s the same thing I do with my friends now just different video games and newer things. I’m outside most of the time and try to stay off social media a ton
Technology then was a plus, not a a necessity for having fun. I would do the same thing every day with my friends and other people who are there randomly. And then we`d all play some video games in the evening after dinner when it was too dark.
@@yuxmanfree254 Let's do some math alright. 9 divided by 2 is 4 remainder 1. That remainder represents the middle of the decade. In this case, the dividing numbers are the middle of the decade which consists of not one but two years. I was born in the mid 1990s and the 2000s are my childhood decade. Now as a grown adult, you have to listen to someone who grew up mostly in that decade. Not some kid like Internet Connection. It isn't all about the trends that represent the years. I've seen late 90s trends that started to die in around 2003 and were fully replaced in 2008.
TimmZ ok man jeez no need for a whole paragraph with detail. I was just stating an opinion that I feel occurred to me when I was living in that decade. You’re acting like everybody from that decade won’t be grown by the time the 2020s decade ends. Hell, even kids that play that stupid game known as fortnite.
My early days consisted of waking up, watching Pokémon on Cartoon Network, going to school, coming home and playing simpsons hit and run on my PS2 and then repeat
I was born in 1994, so I have memories of growing up in the late 90s/early 2000s. They days were so much better. So much easier and simpler. My first game console was a SEGA. Then in 1999 I got a ps1. I also remember having a gameboy colour as well! But most of my childhood, I spent it outside playing on my bike, making dens out of sticks, playing toy cars, and army men
Eh, at least we have a very portable computer that can fit in our pockets, and was far powerful than their computers when they used during the space ages.
Thing i did in early 2000's: -I attended elementary school (this i cannot do anymore but i can start some course, etc.). -I went to the library to use a computer when I didn't have my own yet (there were couple websites (and still is) where people can talk with their friends) (this i can do even i have own computer). -Sometimes i borrowed comics and movies from the library (i can still do that). -I spend a lot of time at the youth center (this i cannot do anymore, i'm too old to that place). -I was watching TV-channels (this i can still do). -I played console video games at home (this i can do only if i buy some older console or play only older console games which have been also released on Steam, etc.). -I spend time sometimes with two friends (this i can still do but not in same way, because of the distances). -I tried new hobbies from time to time (this i can still do). -I read magazines (this i can still do). -I listen music (this i can still do). -I used to go to the local cinema sometimes (this i can still do). -Then i ate, slept, etc. do this daily things that i still do. etc. So basically, if i want, it is at least partially possible for me to live today when I lived in the 21st century. But you should still use modern services, such as online banking, etc., which I did not use in the 21st century. So i cannot truly go back in time, fully, but at least partially yes, and live in "simulation" of early 2000's, more than week even, if i want.
I’m so thankful I was born in 1996. I went to malls and parks, experienced a childhood without social media, and had the best entertainment and technology/toys. I just feel for kids today.
jeremebp that was of course before the draft! We left boys but came home men! Unceremoniously ending our childhood wasn't easy! But at least when we came home we had the joys of pocket transistor radio and Nintendo DS!
I love the good old days, where I threw spears at giant mammoth for food. We didn't have these McDonalds in my day. Not to mention back then music was better, clanging two rocks for noise was clean not like trash now a days. Now kids are glued to their phones all day instead of going outside and trying to survive to live another day. Pathetic.
Derikimi That was nothing. Your generation had spears, that's for cowards, it was better in my days, when we hunted with our barehands or with a rock in hand, and most of our people got infections because we didn't have fire to cook the meat, that is real life for you.
Rafael HD Ojeda Yes there was. Not everyone could afford a DVD player and vhs was still popular in early 2000s. Could still rent vhs tapes at blockbuster and buy them from stores. DVDs were quickly gaining popularity though, but most people i knew weren’t willing to buy a DVD player when they had a perfectly good vhs player. Only after ps2 did the complete take over of dvds occur cause more people were willing to buy something that had a duel purpose cause they felt like they were getting more bang for their buck
The thing is that it WAS better in the 2000's, but if we decide to relive it for some time then obviously we'll get bored or crazy or whatever at some point.
Not even bcuz life in the early 2000s was a good life things was normal house was cheap things was more affordable fast food restaurant use to several real meat food use to be cheap and ppl was more active and healthy
Living in the 2000's for a week isn't setting up an old tv and play on every console that has been releases between the 2000 - 2005 era. People were expecting more like music, tv, daily life in the early 2000's. Instead of that we only got a little tour around your room and some gameplay from ps2 / xbox games with you commentating over it. The concept of this was really great but you made it more about 2000's videogames / consoles, which really disappointed me. You really had potential in this video but didn't go all in with the sort of challenge. I was personally thinking that outside of the recording time you were just having a modern day life. This isn't hate but more like criticism. I loved the video idea :)

“There’s nothing wrong with being addicted to social media”
Dude, the first step curing an addiction is admitting that you have a problem.
You... have a problem.
Having a social need and using social media is not wrong. I bet that you use it all the time to get your fix. Social media is just are next step in our evolution.

Did he even eat food that expired after 2005?
The early 2000s were a much simpler time...from time to time I wish I could go back. Technology was less intrusive back then, and you could appreciate it more when you used it in moderation. The level of advancement over the last 10 years is amazing but most of the new technology really isn’t revolutionary like the new unveiled products used to be
It was boring back then but people weren’t bored. It’s exciting nowadays with all the access to the free internet world, yet people are bored.
It's because we don't really get "new" products anymore. Just new iterations of already existing ones. Seem's like human technology is peaking, for now.
Not to mention the 2008 crash
nah the late 2000s-early 2010s was simple too

1. Friends to drop by unexpectedly to chill
2. A Nokia with £5 credit and no privacy issues

5. More spending money/less misery if you’re skint (probably no broadband, Netflix, Spotify, smartphone contract, console pass etc to pay every month plus better pay in real terms)

"There's nothing wrong with being addicted so social media."
That's what smokers say about their addiction too. Smokers say drinking is worse, drinkers say drugs are worse, etc etc.
okay yikes my dad is a smoker and he says that 💀
I think it's a bit less of a problem to be addicted to FB over cocaine
@Reg Eric So are sugar and caffeine. But yeah, social media addiction is more psychological than physical.
This isn't about missing "nice things" from today. This is about you in withdrawal from your addiction to worthless crap from today. You say people don't get together as much anymore and then go to say that social media is a great thing you can't live without.
You also didn't do anything that was actually 2000sish except for play Play Station all week pretty much.
Like seriously he didn’t even play anything good on the ps2
Right. This is literally just a withdrawal rant; nothing else. Just listening to this dude whine about "I can't do the same thing everyday" is just very ironic... If you're truly passionate about something; you would do it, without question. I'm the epitome of living in the 2000s, and I don't need to use a dated CRT-TV to express that. It's expressed through the clothes I wear, the music I listen to, the media I consume, the personality I've RETAINED (through actually living in the 2000s), etc.
Really good idea. But really poor execution. There is more to do than Videogames and movies. You could've done this project with some friends, go through the musical trends of those days, fashion and clothing, old activities and such.
If I were you, I would redo this, but better.
People wear the same stuff tbh. i never changed my clothing style.
@@rogerrock12games Heavy doubt chief
I think exactly the same as you. You can't just watch some movies and play some video games from 20 years ago, it's much more than that, it's all around you, including trends that are part of the era you're in. It's always easier to speculate about the future than to relive the past.

what about the xbox controller?
I mean that was basically me all early 00s 🤷🏾♂️😂
Or: "I play early 2000s games and ramble about social media for 10 minutes"
What's so funny is that nothing from the 2000s is fundamentally different. We've made staggering _incremental_ change but, they changes are in degree NOT kind. Anything from 98 and after was relatively the same as now. There's nothing you wouldn't recognize if you jumped forward 20 years, the graphics are just better now but, its nothing game changing. As someone who was born in the 80s, I was thinking back on this and I'm more shocked at how much changed in the 90s alone than the 18 years since. To be fair, things got _super_ sophisticated and polished around the 2000s and were probably at the last edge of breakthrough changes in consumer products landscape - there just isnt a lot of room for improvement now other than more if the same for less. I mean, raytracing and bloom adds some nice atmosphere but, its not groundbreaking like going from NES to Quake in sonething like 4 years. Cell phones weren't a brick, they were just shitty low res monochrome flip phones. Movies were actually better in some regards as they had perfected in on camera and practical effects but, prob wouldn't attempt something like Avatar or other heavy CG... then again, episode 1 came out around then and the Coruscant scenes were game changing. If you had a decently powerful PC, w.o. crapware, you could easily get really good graphics from Homeworld, Quake series, etc.

I was 19 in the year 2000. And this was not how I lived it. Me and my friends were starting college, we would still hit up the malls, concerts were a big thing. We were always trying to meet girls on AIM to hang out at coffee shops, or download music from Napster but thats it . Not too many people had laptops, you still had the main computer..so hanging out in the internet all day wasn't fun. Gaming took a back seat to life, especially when you were trying to move forward in college and socializing with real people at the bars, etc. Oh, and almost every 19 year old I knew back then had a job.

Yeah, that's exactly what he did. There's a lot more to that period than a PS2 and an old CRT TV. But to truly experience living in the early 2000's, you need everyone to live in that period too (which is impossible). You need all businesses revert back to their old ways, like for example, record companies releasing and promoting CD's or car manufacturers releasing old models of their cars. And then there's always the excitement of going out to buy something that was (at the time) technologically advanced (like an old Nokia phone or a CD player). And the excitement and anticipation of upcoming events (big concerts, big game..etc). And because we were all living that period together, we used to talk and have discussions about everything that was going on, whether it was a popular TV show or politics or anything. Finally, having a Myspace account in 2005 is nothing like having one in 2018. Nobody's on that website anymore, so you just can't experience it now. Anyway, it was never really half as boring as this guy made it seem.
We would actually go outside and do things with our friends in the early 2000’s 🤷♀️
^
@Moua I go outside, only in the winter time though.
We still do that honey.
And the 90's, and the 80's and the 70's.. Not interested really in any decade older than that
bold of you to think i had friends
There was still social media in the early 2000s. People were connected via the Internet, but not as extreme as it is today. Email and IM sites were huge though. After school, you would go email your crush and IM your friends. Then go outside and chill til the sun went down. The internet was very slow back then though, and not everyone had computers or laptops. Especially laptops. So the biggest way to communicate would be in person or phone calls. It's crazy how technology drives our social lives nowadays.
People were connected via the internet as far back as the 1980s.
People are so f’ing stupid it’s depressing
Which is one of tha reasons why I don't be on social media much. I still love to make friends and connect worldwide BACK IN THA DAY, just typing dat disqusted me due to tha fact how social media is now and got ruined
This video just shows what cancer social media is
yep
I miss Cartoon Network back then.
Willie Lee we will never get the shows back:(

"I forgot about the times when I would go outside, with my friends" This is the legit saddest thing I've ever heard anyone say.
Stix N' Stones yes, he has a really sad interpretation of life
+LostandAlive I agree with you and I'm 14.
+Stix N' Stones I think social media is good because it allows people to talk to other people that you wouldn't have a chance of meeting in real life and it makes it easy to talk to my friends because I have Selective Mutism
Aaron Berry Communicators like ICQ were good enough. So why you think social media is good while it was made to bug on people?
I was born in January 2007. I remember my older cousins use to go to sleep overs, play outside, and play video games. Despite being so young from a few months old to a few years old I still have a very good memory and remember all the times they carried me in my stroller, to the beach, and to play video games, it was so incredibly lovely and thinking back on it I feel so happy. I honestly wish I was a teenager in the early 2000’s it seems so incredible.
Dawg you were barely alive and werent even conscious while the 2000s were happening. You've been around Iphones & tablets & PCs your whole life which is something few from our generation (gen z) ever got to experience a life without.
@@TayDays1128 But I was conscious. I remember a lot as a baby like holding my newborn brother in 2008, being baby sat by my older sister when my parents needed to be somewhere, watching my older cousin play board games with their friends, the beach, the people, and so much more. It’s fine if you don’t believe me but you can’t take away my experience by saying I never experienced it yk.
It didn't disappoint me. I remember the 2000's. I wore the big hoody Gap jackets, Tommy Hilfiger t-shirts and hung out with the neighborhood kids. I do remember the technology even when Steve Jobs created the ipod and I thought it was pretty cool. I mostly watched TV, played with my dog or play my CDs on the stereo didn't have my own TV till highschool. But I do miss the old technology but appreciate the new things because we have more access to things. 🙂

I kinda feel sorry you can't quite experience the feeling I felt in the early 2000's. I can't really describe how the atmosphere itself felt, but I'd have to say I really miss the 2006 era the most. The cartoons, the movies, the flash games, hell I even miss the commercials.

Everyone considers the decade they were a child to be the best decade. In fact, we do not miss a particular decade but our childhood.
not true at all when you have kids that werent alive to experience the 80s/90s/2000s wanting to go back to live those times. Maybe there was something special that existed then that doesnt exist now.
nah cuz 2008-2015 was my childhood & i do miss it BUT i also like the 70s-90s (even tho i was -10-30)
@@TayDays1128literally me😂 although i WAS alive in 2003-09 but from 0-6 years old but exactly, i LOVE the 50s-90s & wish i could've experienced any of those decades instead
@DaBoomerYe You might like 50s or 60s but you don't miss them, because you were not born back then. We usually tend to romanticize our childhood, because everything seems so innocent, we had plenty of free time to play with our friends without having to worry about work, housing, bills etc. This is nostalgia.
Video Games from the early 2000's are still just as fun and enjoyable than today's modern video games.
I would say more so even.
It would be easier to pretend to live in the 1950s than it would to pretend to live in the early 2000s. In the 2000s you have all this semi modern technology, but it’s the fact that it’s semi modern that makes it so difficult. Having internet so slow you want to pull your hair out is more frustrating than having no internet at all.
Trav in the Box I spent most of the early 2000s with no internet. We didn't get internet til like 2003/2004 and even then I wasn't online often until 2005 which is way past "Early 2000s" at that point. And guess what? I had a very fun childhood back then. I didn't need the internet. I mean cartoons, video games and movies were better than any website at the time (at least for someone 6-10 years old) and we actually played outside with other kids around the neighbourhood. The internet was just a past time now people treat it like it's second only to reality. It's sad.
Oh, and I did have slow internet back then. Whatever. Not like I did anything important anyway unless going on Newgrounds, Ebaumsworld prank call soundboards or watching Smosh on CZcams was considered "important."
BadgerCheese94 I’m with you on that man. For a long time the internet was not that great if you were a kid. It was just something to do if you were bored out of your skull. It was just too slow. Same thing with flip phones. They were fun to mess around on, but I didn’t take them too seriously. I remember in fourth grade when my school got the first macbooks. We were like wow, the future is truly here. The effect of how much time we have spent on the internet won’t be seen for years. We are a generation of guinea pigs.
Trav in the Box I didn't even know what a "Macbook" was when I was in 4th grade lol I just knew "This is a computer." At that age (9) my focus on computers was playing pinball or this Jimmy Neutron game for the PC wjth my cousin or occasionally the internet and looking at funny pictures. I don't think we used computers at school until middle school. For reference, 4th grade for me was 2003/2004.
Scratch that I do think I used the computer once or twice in elementary but God knows I don't remember what we did on it lol. Probably some stupid computer math quiz sometime around 2001ish. Growing up though it was always these bulky PC monitors. Crazy how dated they look now. Computers in general were just a THING when I was a kid. To me they weren't as entertaining as TV, VCRs or Playstations. It wasnt til I was 11-12 that I was interested in computers and the online world.
BadgerCheese94 Yeah I was born a little bit later than you in 97. It doesn’t seem like that would make much of a difference, but it really does. It’s almost like every 3 or 4 years is a new generation these days. Things change so rapidly.
Trav in the Box Well I consider Gen Z to start in 1998 so I say you just barely made the millennial cut lol. And yea. My main worry is that outdoor play becomes less common though where I live now I see lots of kids outside. Yet again I live in one of the most outdoorsy states in America. I am gonna be a dad in the next few years so making sure my kids get the right balance of exercise and imaginational use is super important. Unlike my dad, I won't be caveman like toward video games lol but I won't be super permissive either. At some point you gotta turn the game off and get some fresh air.
I still play my ps2 even to this day. There are still some ps2 games that are better than ps4 games.
I totally agree
Kenny Bazile agreed but it’s kinda sad though
ive got a ps2 and a ps4 but i play my ps2 more than the ps4
I miss my PS2. 😔
Starwars battle front,anyone?
I was 17 in 2001. It was near impossible to secretly talk to girls then. You had to call their parents house and use the regular phone. Couldn't call after 9 or 10pm and stuff like that. We had America Online chat but most chicks weren't allowed to use it much . My big crush that lived down the road was always grounded and never allowed to do anything. It was like she was locked up in North Korea! Impossible to contact her and maintain a friendship much less anything more. It really sucked. But today everyone is in constant contact and that can suck as well. You can't escape from social life and just take a break from it . When I was in high school it all ended when I got home and didn't begin until the next day .
It takes more than playing video games to return to the 2000s
Yeah you need to bring back all the good snack and tv show and a lot more

Ya he didn't LIVE for a week LIKE the early 2000's you just stayed in side and did with out current living style. You could have had a lot of fun but you wimped out, wined and stayed inside.
Sure
From my perspective as a 21-year-old, you made the early 2000's out to be a time period that was impossible to live in. But dude, you could still go out, eat at restaurants, go to the mall, visit the movie theater, jam out with your iPod, play some cool Gameboy games like the Legend of Zelda, dance out on DDR, and still hang out with friends. I was just a little kid during that time but that was pretty much what I did during that decade and the time passed by fast.
Honestly, I miss the days when people weren't constantly complaining about being unable to access their social media accounts, their smartphones, or their tablets. Your whole life doesn't revolve around a freaking website or an Apple product. Go out with friends and family and experience the world around you.
Finally someone of my generation who speaks some sense!
Thanks, Itz Jericho!
When 2000s started I was 8 almost 9 but the 2000s was better than 2010s but the 90s was better than the 2000s but both decades i have fond memories of the most traumatic events that happened in the 90s and 2000s was the Oklahoma bombing in 1995, columbine in 1999 and 9/11 in 2001 but that's nothing compared to today's world more evil is in today's world
But it has to be made in 2000 - 2005
Paul Dela Cruz I agree as well I'm 23
If I were to simulate early 2000s life, I would not only switch my current consoles with the 6th gen and switch my TV with a CRT...I would load 2000s sites on the wayback machine, buy food brands that a kid/teen would eat during that time, watch 2000s shows and cartoons, read comics released before 2010, binge the Spider-Man trilogy, rock out to songs from the era, make trashy amvs...
Basically emulate the whole aesthetic right down to the dot.
Hell I'd even edit together downloaded episodes with commercials and burn 'em onto a disc for this
That's kinda what I did. I decided during lockdown that since I was getting depressed alot and the whole world was on fire that I turn my room into a early to mid 2000s room. Bought a princess crt with DVD player, got my PS2 and GameCube out with all their games that I still have, got DVDs of stuff I use to watch like Ed edd and Eddy powerpuff girls season 1 of SpongeBob Rugrats ECT and found my Mario kart bed sheets that I had as a kid now I couldn't use all of it cause I have a full sized bed now but I used the pillow cases and blanket, and among other electronics. It was a blast and got me out of my funk. I still have my room like this to this very day every now and then I will plug up my flat screen TV in my room but mostly I keep it like 2000s. I decided since everything else in the house is modern that my room will be a slice of early 2000s a retreat from work and responsibility. And it's a great comfort when sick. Really after decorating my room like this kinda want to do another room set in the 80s or 90s it's just so cool to just open a door and walk into another time period.
I would rather name this video "I Tried Gaming In The Early 2000s" XDD

2020: Boy have I got a surprise for you
You hit the nail on the head- everyone who does this kind of video tries to continue living the way we do now and we just simply did not spend all that time inside- we used to meet up with friends and family, go out and walk to the shop.... things were more balanced than they are now.
If you’re worried about social media I would suggest doing what I did and encourage your friends to use messenger in a group chat and then leave normal forms of social media- Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. It’s much healthier, stops you endlessly scrolling away your time and start living again... plus it actually makes you interact with your friends more! There’s a tendency to just observe and leave a like instead of actually talking properly to each other on social media.

Fuxking mutabt, what games do you play?
The idea is fine. You lack imagination. You stuck only to technology. There are many other forms of media. You didn't explore books or music or fashion or food. You just played with your old video games and computer. You put no real effort into this project.
Wade Wilson also he was right about the friends. He needed a friend, all alone is just boring.
Also, in the 2000's social media was still a big thing. Most of us teenagers were addicted to talking to 30 people at once on MSN messenger, putting music on each others myspace pages and going into internet chat rooms about a topic we enjoyed.
The fact that we had to restrict internet time was not due to 'it not being good' but more due to the fact that dial-up blocked the phone line and parents did not like this all night!
Gaming was a huge thing, but thanks to the lack of twitch, youtube and other streaming sites there wasn't the mega money in it that there is now.
The reason that he does not go out and interact with friends much anymore is not the fault of social media, it is also a thing with growing up. - As you leave school and get a job, your priorities change, and you don't want to always be out. You want to relax in your home that you pay to rent or own. Not hang out somewhere else.
Also, as you have to pay your own way and earn your own money you naturally put a cost barrier on activities. When you were a child/teenager parents often cover the cost or you are content with free things to do.
Some things change because you age, not because the date has changed.
In the UK, it can be classed as 'anti social' if a group of more than 4 youths congregate somewhere. This gives councils and the police powers to move them on or ban them from that area in future. - They don't have to be doing anything wrong either. In my day we used to get moaned at by the police or locals for 'hanging around' but they had no power to do anything about it.
- People wonder why online gaming or social media is more appealing to modern teenagers than going out?
Nostalgia really blinds people to what the past was like, often with 'it was better in my day' attitude. But if you look back, things are often better in the now.
An example - My first car when I learnt to drive was an old car that used to break down a lot and be a bit tatty. Now, many 17 year olds get nearly new cars here in the UK, because they are often much cheaper to insure. Cars are easier to buy on finance and the country's culture gets more on credit than ever before. Also, with the modern generation being less technical than the past, the skill of maintaining your own car has reduced, meaning reliability counts for a lot more.
underwaterdick how much free time do you have?
Windzu it differs day to day. Being a homeowner and parent means there are always things that I should be doing... Procrastination is a big thing though, putting off jobs because I want to play PS4 or have a lie in. Then there is all the commuting and overtime...
I used to have shedloads of free time when I was a student, before having a family, when renting and when there was no overtime at work. Now I spend the free time I have enjoying as much family time as I can before they go to bed 😁
Wade Wilson totally agree with you, even doing a video only about 00's tech there are plenty of multi-player games you can play alongside your friends and stuff, you where lack of imagination. Believe that you were a very very young lad, now I want to see you doing the same but with 90's. I really enjoyed those decades and I still reliving them. Give it a chance
I lived in the early 00’s in New York.
I was a kid back then… can’t imagine how complicated things are living that decade as an adult.

Next time, he should rent a car from the 90s, use 56k internet. Get an old Nokia, that all you could do is play snake and make calls, because texting was $0.50 per text. Play nothing but early 2000s CDs. Bonus points for using a radio recording from the 2000s. Ride your bike more than drive, because gas just jumped up to $1.75 per gallon, and you're not going to pay that much because it's absolutely fucking ridiculous. Use tube TV's a s VCRs, because I'm not shelling out $75 for a DVD player, then $25 per DVD. And screw blockbuster and their Nazi late fees. Then get depressed because I started highschool 18 years ago.
I used to love that static feeling when you would turn on an old TV and just rub your hands over the screen making all your hand/arm hairs get stuck to the screen
I get hit with massive nostalgia of the very early 2000's and sometimes even the 90's pretty often even though I was born too late to experience it. Any video with those big dates displayed on the corner of the screen just hits so hard and makes me wish I could go back and see what I missed. I would do quite a lot of things for the ability to go back to like 2002 or 2004 for a few weeks just to see how things were, visiting places I've visited before, to see what I missed. Maybe even meet my parents at a time before I was born. Maybe 2020 has me just wanting things to be normal again idk.
Same I want to go back
I'd say pain-wise, it's better that you didn't live through it just because you can only guess what it was like and hence it's not accurate. The things that suck about now are overexposure to entertainment/stimulation/attention whoring and how PC everything is. The internet 15-20 years ago was huge because there were no monopoly companies and there was very little censorship, though TV shows or anything like that was a bit hard to find, so what I considered "unbelievably long" internet sessions were like 2 hours (compared to today's 12+ hours a day). One thing I always think of in terms of the scarcity of online video is that there was a popular show I wanted to watch, but despite how popular it was, there wasn't anywhere to watch it online, so the only way I could was to get up on weekdays at 5am to watch it on TV. It made shows/music, etc. seem valuable because you either bought it or watched it live or you didn't at all. One last thing is that back then when you didn't have access to infinite videos, etc., if you were starry-eyed about Japan or California or wherever, you mostly had what you saw on TV to go by, so other places seemed very exotic and mysterious because you mainly had your imagination.

There is a difference between living in the early 2000s and only using the tech and media from the early 2000s. You are only experiencing a very small fraction of what it was like. I was in my late teens to early 20s in that time and it was a really cool time, but I really prefer the 90s over any other decade.
And I am sure during your college days, you would saved your work on your floppy disc instead of flash drive. Since you mentioned you were at your 20s in that early 2000s, that would be your college experience. Would the cool time be the late 90s were you experienced your 1st college semester?

@@yuxmanfree254 Let's do some math alright. 9 divided by 2 is 4 remainder 1. That remainder represents the middle of the decade. In this case, the dividing numbers are the middle of the decade which consists of not one but two years. I was born in the mid 1990s and the 2000s are my childhood decade. Now as a grown adult, you have to listen to someone who grew up mostly in that decade. Not some kid like Internet Connection. It isn't all about the trends that represent the years. I've seen late 90s trends that started to die in around 2003 and were fully replaced in 2008.
TimmZ ok man jeez no need for a whole paragraph with detail. I was just stating an opinion that I feel occurred to me when I was living in that decade. You’re acting like everybody from that decade won’t be grown by the time the 2020s decade ends. Hell, even kids that play that stupid game known as fortnite.
My early days consisted of waking up, watching Pokémon on Cartoon Network, going to school, coming home and playing simpsons hit and run on my PS2 and then repeat
Bagged&Boarded Not trying for attention but, THAT'S exactly how I got by.
I started my day with PBS Kids, walked to and from school, watched PBS Kids until 6:00 and played PS2 until I was dead tired :p
Living in the late 2000's would be easy. I have being using the same LCD TV from 2008 along with the ps3 up until last year 😂
I was born in 1994, so I have memories of growing up in the late 90s/early 2000s. They days were so much better. So much easier and simpler. My first game console was a SEGA. Then in 1999 I got a ps1. I also remember having a gameboy colour as well! But most of my childhood, I spent it outside playing on my bike, making dens out of sticks, playing toy cars, and army men
Yes! Everyone says its nostalgia but no!people were actually more chill and friendlier in 2000s
I was expecting Nickelodeon shows, the whole nu-metal music era being popular then, but all we got were ps2 games. 😂
Nu metal was good back then lol
Korn and slipknot are good but limp bizkit... ewww
I was expecting some O Town, Lizzie McGuire, Nokia phone, and cargo shorts
I searched for early 2000s nu metal generation and end up here
I didn't play video games in the 2000s but I sure did watch a lot of Spongebob.
1976: I bet we'll have flying cars in the future!
2018: Fortnite
2019: probably worse trends than 2018
Eh, at least we have a very portable computer that can fit in our pockets, and was far powerful than their computers when they used during the space ages.
Red Zed heheh battle bus
🚎
Red Zed dude technically we do have high technology
We literally have virtual reality and human AI robots, but all you can think of is Fortnite?
Thing i did in early 2000's:
-I attended elementary school (this i cannot do anymore but i can start some course, etc.).
-I went to the library to use a computer when I didn't have my own yet (there were couple websites (and still is) where people can talk with their friends) (this i can do even i have own computer).
-Sometimes i borrowed comics and movies from the library (i can still do that).
-I spend a lot of time at the youth center (this i cannot do anymore, i'm too old to that place).
-I was watching TV-channels (this i can still do).
-I played console video games at home (this i can do only if i buy some older console or play only older console games which have been also released on Steam, etc.).
-I spend time sometimes with two friends (this i can still do but not in same way, because of the distances).
-I tried new hobbies from time to time (this i can still do).
-I read magazines (this i can still do).
-I listen music (this i can still do).
-I used to go to the local cinema sometimes (this i can still do).
-Then i ate, slept, etc. do this daily things that i still do.
etc.
So basically, if i want, it is at least partially possible for me to live today when I lived in the 21st century. But you should still use modern services, such as online banking, etc., which I did not use in the 21st century.
So i cannot truly go back in time, fully, but at least partially yes, and live in "simulation" of early 2000's, more than week even, if i want.
I’m so thankful I was born in 1996. I went to malls and parks, experienced a childhood without social media, and had the best entertainment and technology/toys. I just feel for kids today.
Early 2000s was the end of the good times and era
I agree
That's very true
Not for The US on September 11
Yeah, for me, after 2007-08 times started changing for the worst imo.
@@tyjusto9351 why, what happend after 2007-08
Another thing we did a lot in that faraway time of 2000 was go to this place called "outside."
jeremebp that was of course before the draft! We left boys but came home men! Unceremoniously ending our childhood wasn't easy! But at least when we came home we had the joys of pocket transistor radio and Nintendo DS!
Never heard of that place i was born in 07
But outside is 2018 so if he had gone outside it would have negated the whole experiment.
But everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
I was born in the right generation when gaming was evolving and Papa Franku had youtube :D
I Hate This Decade,
Someone Take Me Back.
I Can't Stop Thinking Of The Past😞😞😞😞😞I Cant Move On Someone Help Me 😒😒
Don’t worry, it’s all over now
I was a kid in the early 2000s good times . You could dress in all red go out looking like a bottle of ketchup no one will ask you anything.
I love the good old days, where I threw spears at giant mammoth for food. We didn't have these McDonalds in my day. Not to mention back then music was better, clanging two rocks for noise was clean not like trash now a days.
Now kids are glued to their phones all day instead of going outside and trying to survive to live another day. Pathetic.
kek
Derikimi That was nothing. Your generation had spears, that's for cowards, it was better in my days, when we hunted with our barehands or with a rock in hand, and most of our people got infections because we didn't have fire to cook the meat, that is real life for you.
Yep I'm addicted to my phone and can't live without it, because it helps me know what is going on in the world
@Famous Ramus22
Whoosh.
Derikimi LOL
i still have my VHS, VHS player, and other stuff from the early 2000’s.
Don't get rid of them. They be worth alot 50 years from now (vintage)
schindlerteejay94, my family and I still use VHS.
Rafael HD Ojeda Yes there was. Not everyone could afford a DVD player and vhs was still popular in early 2000s. Could still rent vhs tapes at blockbuster and buy them from stores. DVDs were quickly gaining popularity though, but most people i knew weren’t willing to buy a DVD player when they had a perfectly good vhs player. Only after ps2 did the complete take over of dvds occur cause more people were willing to buy something that had a duel purpose cause they felt like they were getting more bang for their buck
Let me buy it off of you
I'm 14 and I still do
I want to go back to the late 90/2000s R.I.P childhood 😢😢😢😢😢😢
@CJMCheesePlanet you can say that again.
The thing is that it WAS better in the 2000's, but if we decide to relive it for some time then obviously we'll get bored or crazy or whatever at some point.
Not even bcuz life in the early 2000s was a good life things was normal house was cheap things was more affordable fast food restaurant use to several real meat food use to be cheap and ppl was more active and healthy
no i don't think certain people like myself would get bored of it. if anything i get bored of living in the 2020s
we are closer to 2030 than 2000. *anything that I say back is a joke.*
Stop.
Load Game ????
I didn't want to see that information!
To bad. If you didnt want to see it then you would have clicked on something else. instead of wasting your time. basic logic. And common sense. (-_-)
lol I was just scrolling through the comments. I didn't click on anything.
Living in the 2000's for a week isn't setting up an old tv and play on every console that has been releases between the 2000 - 2005 era. People were expecting more like music, tv, daily life in the early 2000's. Instead of that we only got a little tour around your room and some gameplay from ps2 / xbox games with you commentating over it. The concept of this was really great but you made it more about 2000's videogames / consoles, which really disappointed me. You really had potential in this video but didn't go all in with the sort of challenge. I was personally thinking that outside of the recording time you were just having a modern day life. This isn't hate but more like criticism. I loved the video idea :)
This is a video game channel smartass
@@kokomelon6375 Still, there was far more to the early 2000s than just video games.
@@energeticyellow1637 who said there wasn't?
