Things From Today That Would Blow An 80’s El Paso Kids Mind

We've all seen those lists of things that todays kids wouldn't believe, right? Let's try that backwards with a list of things 80's kids wouldn't have believed ... but would have loved.

Most of the things from the 80's, kids today would hate. The video game graphics would be way too primitive, dial up would drive them nuts ... hell, it drove peeps nuts then ... and having to wait for someone to get off the phone because the family only had 1 could lead to violence.

Todays stuff to an 80's kid though? - Way different story.

It's kind of fun shocking todays young 'uns with the stuff 80's kids saw as normal. Like only getting fast food a few times a year and having to actually play ... gasp ... outside. With other physical, in the flesh, live kids no less.

That's crazy talk, right? To kids today, maybe. If todays kids stuff got into an 80's kids hands though, WOW.

Seriously, today's kids might not be real envious of 80's kids. When you look at today through 80's kids eyes though, they'd love it ALL.

MTV vs. YouTube, For Example:

MTV: 80's kids watched for hours, hoping to maybe see their favorite band.

YouTube: Your favorite band(s), on demand, all day, all night.  Wait 'n hope vs. type it in and watch it. Over and over ... for hours. Hell, you can even find a video lesson and learn to actually play it.

Limited Channels

Compared to having only 3 or 4 channels, 80's kids would have LOVED having a zillion of them. Not to mention more entertainment sources like Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Bonus points for pay per view events, unedited movies and concerts, etc. BONUS bonus points for no POTUS speech takeovers.
