9. Not Knowing If A Photo Came Out Good Until It Was Developed
These days, even after you've seen a photo on the back of a digital camera or on a phone - and personally given it the seal of approval - it's still an ordeal waiting for it to appear on Facebook, just in case you misjudged it on that drunken night out with your beer goggles on. So, imagine what it was like in the 1990s, when you'd had a few drinks, your friend took a photo, you're absolutely certain you had your "sneeze face" going on as the flash went off - but you wouldn't get to find out if that was actually the case until the photo got developed a month later. Cue the sweating. Horrible.
8. Wondering What To Do With All Your VHS Tapes Now That DVDs Are A Thing
You'd amassed a highly impressive collection of VHS video tapes over the course of the previous ten or twenty years - it was the source of sheer wonder amongst your friends and they were always wanting to borrow "A Nightmare On Elm Street" from you - but, all of a sudden, almost overnight in fact, they were rendered obsolete by new DVD technology. Do you bin your videos? Do you try to sell them? Do you stubbornly keep them - even going as far as keeping them on display as they had always been? Do you try to buy the DVD version of every title you own on VHS? What a dilemma!
7. Losing A Piece Of Paper With A Phone Number On
Before mobile phones - or at least before they were an everyday item - if you wanted to take someone's number, you generally had to write it down on a piece of paper. Imagine the horror moment when the realisation set in that the piece of paper in question had gone missing - especially when it was storing the number of a hot girl/guy who you'd met on a night out or somewhere else you were unlikely to randomly bump in to them again.
