re: What would you miss if you had to go back in time and live in the 1980s and/or 1990s?

Having instant access to information. It's hard to remember what it was like not being able to look anything up whenever you want.
This and healthcare are about it for me. I wouldn't miss much else.

Only thing I would miss is HD television and cheap tv’s.

I mean there’s a few recent innovations like Spotify and espresso vodka that I’d miss, but I’d find some sort of alternative.
I enjoy GPS but I was an adult before I had access to it and I don't remember just wandering around lost all of the time

You seem bitter and grim. Almost
Kafka-esque
If you grew up in the country with no access to anything, all this stuff is freaking awesome.
shite was not great in the 80s. Life was far harder.

I remember in the early 80s when your favorite college football team played about 3 times a year on TV.
There was an 11:00 am JP game and the 2:30 game and that was it.
You had to listen to your team’s game on the radio at 1:00. Heaven forbid if you didn’t live in the State of your favorite team. I was a LSU fan living in Alabama at the time. I had to read about the games in the Sunday paper.

Downloading music, movies, and tv shows. That's about it.

Ha! I defer to your ordeal.

I would be happy as was in the 90s with my binder of Cds and 36" 150 pound tv.
The tech was good enough in the 90s , but to mention the music and cost to income.

I know I managed to get around but I just got back from a five state driving trip in the NE and I can't remember how I did that prior to GPS. Going through NY state and Manhattan was hard even with the GPS.

Could depend on how many times your favorite team received a TV ban from the NCAA (that penalty seemed to be a common occurrence in the 80s and 90s).

I lived in those times and yes we didn’t have shite.
we didn’t have porn just had mags and sex
We didn’t have but a few channels so we didn’t watch as much TV we just did shite
We didn’t have internet and bad arse cell phones we just talked and hung out
It was 100000000000000 times better

It hasn’t been criminalized. You can still do that while enjoying the technology.

Started in the 70s, and the 90s was their Golden Years. No one thinks today's ESPN is better than what it was in the late 20th century.

You try to tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you.
