I typically hate anything " new " and I avoid change at all costs. I remember getting a digital camera for the first time in 2010 ugh what a pain. I had to beg my mom to give me her old camera so I would know how to work it. She forced me to get a camera for my birthday and I said No you buy a new camera for yourself and give me your old one. Now I just don't use cameras at all my phone works great

Someone mentioned borrowing a lap top, which reminds me of when I worked on the school paper in high school. Sometimes I could lug one of the Macs home to work on layouts. 1992 or so. Seemed so cool...and we didn't even have the internet.

He told me (in an actual letter), to go to my university's computer lab and sign up for an email account. It was called Eudora or something like that. Then we would make "dates" in our respective computer labs and send emails back and forth. It was the early "chat". I remember thinking it was the best invention ever!
Same thing happened to me. I remember telling my mother it was free, and she told me it absolutely wasn't, and I would be responsible for paying for it.
Also, tr first time I had sushi and Thai food.
More recently, online check in and printing boarding passes. Life hanging. Assuming an average of 15 minutes per check in, it's saves me well over a week's time.

Until the revolution came and you had to get the hell out.

Fish tacos. I took a work trip to CA and pretty much mocked them as the most bizarre thing I had ever seen.
I'm kind of an idiot.

When i was a kid, we'd rent a vcr for special occasions. Then the neighbors got their own vcr. Holy crap, that was living high in the suburbs.
I remember watching the movie Toy Story. Some friends were marveling at the animation and I said, just wait, in 20 years, this will seem so old. One friend actually said no, Toy Story was about as good as animation could possibly get.

Sushi!
Went to a place called Taki Sushi in NYC when I was 8 or 9- so around 1984. I loved it. They had traditional Japanese sunken seating and rice paper walls. You had to take off your shoes.

I remember when texting was rude. Many people felt, "If you have the time to reach out, just call."
Now a random phone call is an intrusion.

Remember having something called 'nachos' while visiting Texas in early 80's
Remember first Thai restaurant went to 20 years ago before they were everywhere and having 'pad thai'
Remember the 'MOST' machine before ATMs were everywhere

Electronic typewriter in our office when we switched from manuals! Typing one line out before it actually typed seemed amazing! Also fax machines and so many others already mentioned.
