Do you ever think back to the first time you were introduced to something that is now standard?

I was telling my husband about the time I first saw a cell phone...well actually it was a car phone. It was in a friends dads volvo. The year was around 1992 I think. I remember thinking "why the heck would you need to call someone while your driving???" LOL! I also remember the time I first saw granite countertops in the mid 1990s. I thought it was really "harsh" looking and not very homey. Funny how time changes your perceptions on things.

Yes, digital cameras. I actually liked the ritual of getting my snapshots developed. I liked actual 35 mm film. No one prints out photos anymore.

I'm 45.

Yes, sriracha. I hoped it would get more popular. It did!

Yes. I remember when a few of my coworkers started getting iPhones in 2008 and 2009 and I was amazed! I thought anyone with an iPhone was super important and cool. Now they're ubiquitous.

Also, digital cameras.

I remember my first computer and windows. My parents didn't even really use at all. Floppy then disk them CDs. Hated burning CDs, glad we have flash drives.

I remember getting an Estee Lauder treatment with alpha hydroxy in it. All my friends in college loved it. Made me break out initially, but then overall my skin got better.

I remember my dad getting a car phone. I thought it was the late 80s. It was huge. I remember using the internet at university, in the early 90s. It wasnt great.

I remember going to my dad's office and seeing the computer there. It must have been around 1979. I played "little brick out".

I remember the 1st time I used the Internet. I was analyzing a piece of software at work... NetScape, it turned the usual searches on the Internet we did using something called gopher, into a graphical search instead of text.

I told my boss... This is the greatest thing I have ever seen ever. We need to implement this.

My H use to spend hours every weekend in book stores.... I hate book stores (I'm dyslexic).

I told my H I had used the most amazing software ever and he was going to love it, it is like having a book store in your house but better.

I also said..."If I could only figure out how to invest in "the internet" we could be rich."

I remember the switch in my office from rotary phones to push buttons. Also the fax machine in 1991. Yes I'm old.

Call waiting. I thought it was so rude.

TV before color and remote control. Kids were in charge of changing stations.

I remember discovering ebay for the first time.

Biore nose strips. My friends and I were obsessed. Still get a nasty kick out of using them. All the gunk on the strip... ew.

I remember reading a profile of some political figure in Esquire in the very early 2000s and asking my then-boyfriend what a Blackberry was.
