- I did not own a mobile phone. This was probably a good thing, since mobile phones were the size of a ham radio – not including the extendable antenna
- The computer I used had a CRT monitor, as did my television
- There was no Facebook
- There was also no broadband. You could fire up the computer, go make a cup of tea, catch the headlines on the 10pm news, and it would just about be ready for browsing.
- We caught the news once a day – at 10pm, and Breaking News really meant breaking news – not what Rakhee Sawant wore to a party last night
- Reality TV meant Candid Camera
- I was in high school, and had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up (The latter still holds true)
I wonder what the next ten years will bring!
Also, 10 years ago, we had actual rasna parties, not the ‘spirit’ual ones
Nine years ago I was waiting for the world to end with the impending Y2K blowup. Now I am waiting for the world to end in 2012.
plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose .
And am in your city now and you still owe me a cup of coffee..
@Shipra – That’s got more to do with age than with the time we were in
I also couldn’t vote or drive a car ten years ago!
@Nowhere Man – And which city would that be?
Presume you are still in London ?
Yes, although I check out during snowstorms. Email/buzz rather than comment?
Sure but am guessing you have no idea who I am yet?
