I loved these pens. I used preserve them.

*Kails*:

orgasticdance: i hit my teens in the late 90s -- nintendo, ataris, action shooters like robocop and police academy where the rage for me--but I don't know that the 90s were better than at any other decade. In some ways I wish I were born in the noughties any time I see my nephew rattle off high game scoeres on his mother's Ipad; satelites and the internet are now more common place. The 90s were a dark age if you did not live in one of the big cities; but thankfully things are a little more democratic...

*Kails*:
omg guys!! im looking at all of your lists and
honestly we were blessed to have grown up such a golden era.

i feel sorry for the kids today.

1990s: those were the good days!!

Mrs.Chima:


Don't laugh! I was reaaal popular for them!

Uyi Iredia:

Sorry for 'em. I envy them. I can imagine how so f**king unimpressed they'll be with the technology that makes sense to us now. And when 3-D and optical computing rules they'll probably need more than Matrix-like effects to be impressed.

*Kails*:


yeah but this is the computer age.
i can't envy these kids who dont know what it is like to have genuine fun with other children without involving to much technology. of course we had the games back then (gameboys, nintendos, segss, nano-babies ; etc) but we still knew what it was like to play hide and seek, dodge ball, tag, jump rope; etc. we had real fun added with good music and educational tv shows used to feed our young minds key lessons in life.
(" D.A.R.E" commercials anyone?) When was the last time you saw a "Only You can prevent forest fires" commercial?

these kids today are zombies mehn.

Now you have 13 year old kids who because of easy access to just about everything, are not able to be children. they are competing with adults on the internet and real life. drinking, having s3x, mimicking these rachet chicks/rappers in music videos; etc. if you take away their ipod/pads, smart phones, computers etc. they'd be doomed!

GBAM!!

Kails, your head dey dia wella!

In addition to what you've posted, I'll also add this: Have you noticed the quality of written English of our youths today? It speaks volumes!

They are soooooo lazy and every single typed sentence of theirs is raft with incomprehensible 'short-hand' yet, they blame it all on technology. You most certainly can't compare their current standard (albeit awful standard) of written English to those from the good old 90's where the only form of written communication was via paper and pen for letter writing. For example, rather than write:

I'll see you later, what you have these days from them is: C U L8er

or even more annoyingly:

But = buh (for goodness sake! It's the same three letter word! Why not just type out the correct spelling??)

Like = lyk

And the list goes on and on and on...

Uyi Iredia:

You're right. The '90's had a nice blend of technology and physical relationship too. Some kids of now are a tad too engaged in te cyberspace. Not to mention the razzmatazz that dominates Hollywood Box Office in contrast with plain old good acting (Problem Child, Baby's Day Out, Home Alone, Dr Doolittle). I especially miss hide-and-seek and jump ropes . . . And 'Kids Say The Darndest Things'. Gotta love Bill.
