Pre-'90s Skills That Are Useless Today According To Texans

Remember back in the day when you had to blow into a video game cartridge to get it to work again?! Or, when you had to remember your house phone number or any phone number in general!

Whether you wrote it down on paper, memorized it, or whatever it was, you had to remember people’s phone numbers because that’s just how life was back then.

These days, our cell phones do all the remembering for us now. Shoot, my phone knows my whole life now because it keeps track of my calendar, numbers, card information, you name it!

Kids these days just won’t understand the anxiety you got when you needed to call mom but you forgot the house number!

I wanted to see what “pre-’90s” everyday skills people still remember, but don’t use anymore because well, we just don’t need to now with technology!

Be prepared to go down memory lane with some of these replies!
