They shaped a generation and left striking memories
Do you remember the thrill of listening to the sound of the dial -up internet connecting or the joy of receiving an SMS torpedo? In the 2000s, these experiences were the apex of technology.
Today, for many, they are just memories of a past era.
Let’s remember six technologies that marked the era and which currently seem out of a museum.
6 things that were the apex of technology in the 2000s and today seem surreal
1.
In the early 2000s, cell phones were mainly used to send text messages, the famous SMS torpedoes.
With limited plans and numerical keyboards, typing a message was a true exercise of patience.
2. The language of the “Internet”
With the limitation of characters in the torpedo and the difficulty of typing on numerical keyboards, the “Internetês” emerged.
Abbreviations such as “TDB” (all the best) and “Xau” were common in digital communications of the time.
3. Msn messenger: come in and out to draw attention
MSN Messenger was the main communication tool among young people.
One was to come and go repeatedly to get someone’s attention, generating constant notifications.
4. Finish relationships on orkut
On Orkut, changing relationship status to “single” was a public way to announce the end of a relationship.
This action generated a wave of comments and testimonials from friends.
5. Photo albums on orkut
After a party, it was common to climb dozens of album photos on Orkut with titles like “Perfect Night.”
The images, often without editing, captured spontaneous and fun moments.
6. Buy pirate dvds in the stool
Purchasing Pirate DVDs at street lames was a common practice.
Despite the illegality, many resorted to this option to watch movie releases, even if the quality was doubtful.
The technologies of the 2000s shaped a generation and left remarkable memories. Although many have become obsolete, they represent an era of intense digital transition and continue to awaken nostalgia in those who lived this time.
