Just think...

[kurtman44]

A lot of people now talk about wat then remember when they grew up in the 90's. People talk about thier favorite shows like doug, ren and stimpy, boy meets world, ahh real monsters, etc. And everbody had yo-yo's and poke'mon was cool. Gigi-pet, slap bracelets, and everything was da bomb. Everybody collected beanie babies or pogs.

Just think, in about ten years everybody will be doing the same thing. They will talk about how i-pods were the coolest thing around and x-box and ps2, people will talk abot spongebob and all that stuff. I cant imagine wat the big things will be then, when u look at the advances in technology through the past ten years. It just blows my mind.

I was too cool for the 90s.

But not quite cool enough for the 00s

 

[Geogaddi]

Zero Zeros is such a lame name for a decade.

Oh Oh's isn't any better.

The naughties?

The naughties?

Seems to be what these times are called. Will 201X be called the tennies? That's even worse.

As far as oldskool retro goes, it doesn't matter what century in the future it is. Oldkool retro is oldskool retro.

Ahh... man, you remember 20 years ago when we wasted five years of our life on some random gaming forum? What was it about again... oh yeah, half-life 2. Except, I never think I posted about half-life 2 there in the last four years of it.

Oh man! How true is that?

lol. I dont even think I have mentioned that game's name since it was released.

By the time we're old. The new kids will be talking about MP3's imbedded within your brain. While, us old folks will be like, "Boy! I remember back in my time we had to use a BIG rectangular device, plug it into our oversized computers... pick a couple hundred songs and upload which took FOREVER! Boy, oh boy will I miss the golden times with the Ipod." Then your kids reaction would be like, "Man, must have been hell!"

 

[Asus]

I don't like the idea of mp3s imbedded in my brain. Badger Badger Badger...

And then it gets stuck on a loop. You wouldn't even be able to hear the Help & Support if you called it.

 

[PvtRyan]

Yeah, or kids in 50 years will be like "Man, it must have been nice back then, when the world wasn't covered in radioactive fallout from World War 3 & 4."

 

[kirovman]

Nah, WW4 will just be fought with sticks and stones.

 

[Dekstar]

Nah, WW4 will just be fought with sticks and stones.

Sticks and stones hurt when you're being beaten to death by a 6-armed freak of nature.

 

[kirovman]

Touché!

 

[Raziaar]

World War 4 won't be fought with sticks and stones. After global thermonuclear war, there won't be enough humans on the planet to incite a world war... and so the technological process will begin anew... and things will begin like they did before, except slightly different I suppose, especially since the surviving humans will have retained much of the knowledge of the past, though a great deal of specifics will be lost.

 

[ailevation]

Pfft World War 4 will be battling.......


RAP VERSION YO!

YOU WANNA BATTLE SON!? SPIT IT DAWG!

Albert Einstein says your argument is invalid.

 

[Raziaar]

Albert Einstein says your argument is invalid.

No... Albert Einstein wasn't using logic when he said that... Only if world war 4 immediately came after world war 3, would there be a possibility of 'sticks and stones' being used in warfare. And even that is HIGHLY unlikely, cause there will still be weapons of destruction that number far more than the humans that still populate the earth.

Humankind would also be able to take to making metal alloy weapons again at the VERY least... quickly. Especially since the people most likely to survive global thermonuclear war are those who live very far away from cities, as far as possible anyways... outdoorsmen and their families... tribes people of various different cultures, etc.

If there's only a couple million people left on the planet after world war III... no war for quite a long time after that could be declared to be a world war. There would only be localized wars and regional wars, especially since most of the technology allowing global war to take place would have been destroyed... vehicles, tanks, airplanes, missiles, etc. Stockpiles would very likely still exist, but not in such a force, or with a presence to use them in a way that would be concordant with a world war. And even if there was... those military weapons are FAR from sticks and stones.

You lose Einstein... you lose.

 

[kirovman]

I think he meant civilisation would be destroyed, along with the knowledge to build such weapons (I mean, how many guns and tanks manufacturers are going to survive WW3?).

So humanity would start from scratch, and any successive wars would be fought with primative technologies, not literally sticks and stones though.

But comparative to nuclear warheads, they would be sticks and stones.

Yes... I am aware of the point Einstein was trying to get across... the fact, like you said, that the war will ravage society enough to completely decimate most everything we know today.

I was taking his quote quite literally in my explanation.

But still, world war III quite likely will only take us back a few hundred, or a thousand years technology wise, not back to the stone age.

 

[kirovman]

I guess it depends how severe WW3 is D:

 

[Raziaar]

I guess it depends how severe WW3 is D:

I bet all the radiation poisoning will cause those who survive to the next generation, to be riddled with birth defects as we have never seen... and any who do survive will be severely crippled in their brain capacity.

At any rate obviously, the next world war after number 3, likely won't be able to be fought in a progressively deadlier way as the previous ones.

 

[CyberPitz]

I stlil do that with the 80s.. "OH MAN remember that bucket with the happy face on it, and the arms with the shovel and the other thing?!"

That's the earliest memory I've got actually, when it was my...4thish? birthday...I was so happy, and excited. I loved that thing...ahhh, the good ol' days.

 

[<RJMC>]

I am a 90 lover too

dam I remenber the yo-yo's you know what other thing I see hav disapeared,rollerskates

That's cause people just go to the Skating Rink..

Ahh, I remember when my dad first told me about him and mom getting a divorce, I was on my rollerskates..

 

[ailevation]

I remember I used to ride in my lollerskates

 

[kurtman44]

i still use my blades, for street hockey

 

[madog]

everyone liked baggy clothes in the 90s but now its just the gangsters that like that kind of crap, but even worse now there are emo kids and just various kinds of people who just look frekin ridiculous. 90s was indeed a good time. There wasn't as much bullshit.

 

[Stigmata]

I miss the pure awesomeness that was videogames in the 90's.

And that Orbitz drink. wtf was up with that?

 

[AKIRA]

I miss the 90's so much when awesome band were out like Nirvana, The Offspring, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Silver Chair etc..

And not to mention, the 90's was also the decade of the GREATEST sitcoms ever produced. I mean come on you got the classic "Saved By the Bell" which I still watch EVERY morning on TBS at 7:00 am before i go to school LOL, Fresh Prince of Belair ****ing ruled, so did Seinfeld, Friends was hilarious, Home Improvement....man that was an amazing decade.

FPS's started in the 90's with the all time classic DooM. There was Wolfenstein, HL1 etc..

What else was there....oh yea the hilarious Y2K bug!!, that comet or asteroid in 97 i think where evryone came outside and you can see it cross the entire sky...wow great times.

Ever get this feeling: Where you look back and say...wow that was amazing...too bad nothing cool ever happens anymore these days... But really in 5-10 years you're going to look back at the very era you said those words and realize it was a ****ing awesome decade only to find yourself saying the same thing about the present decade?! It just keeps goin in circles!!!@#$@$111

 

[Asus]

haha yeah I can see that happening. Lot of good stuff in the 90's. Though for my childhood memories, most of it was in the 80's. =p

 

[Beerdude26]

Yeah. At least during the 90s we had one hairstyle: a mullet.

Although safety wasn't really guaranteed back then.

 

[kirovman]

That's what old people say...

"Things were a lot better back in my day...

sure we had food rationing, no hot water, and we got dusty lungs from coal mining, but at least people respected each other! A 37 hour week? We used to work 37 hours a day!"

Oh man....

Those are some awesome shows.
