anti-skip sony walkmans were the no.1 selling handheld media players

snake was the no.1 video game on cellphones

cellphone plans sold you talk minutes with free nights and weekends

caller ID was an individual accessory for your land line

pay telephones were successful enough to have their own commercials. Like 1-800-C-O-L-L-E-C-T dial down the center!

VCRs were the no.1 medium for playing videos

some people still had cassettes for music over CDs

floppy discs were still useful for media storage
