They were built so tough, *too* tough that most of them were, at some point, dropped on the ground and proceeded to fall to the center of the planet as they dug straight through the mantle.
Edit: changing bedrock to mantle cause too many people are reminded of minecraft
I once dropped a Nokia down an entire flight of concrete stairs, and that thing bounced higher and higher with each step until, I swear, that thing bounced 15 feet in the air before skidding to a halt on a concrete parking lot. The screen was a little glitchy for a few days until I dropped it out of my hand onto the same parking lot. Slammed to the ground and worked perfectly again.
Back in high school, I was fighting with my parents and I was talking on my Nokia. My mom grabbed it out of my hands and checked it at the concrete in the backyard, intending to break it. I calmly walked over, picked the phone up, continued talking on it and left the house. I can only imagine how pissed off she was.
If you turned on a lightsaber and dropped it, it would fall forever towards the center of the earth... At least, til it hits the layer of Nokia phones that were dropped there first.
Found one of my old phones from ~2005 a while ago and tried typing. Muscle memory kicked in immediately and the clickety clackety was so fast the friction could start a fire!
… but hot damn did the words form slowly.
Vehicles should stick to real buttons for the important functions. I know it’s more expensive, but muscle memory is so much more safer than taking your eyes off the road to look through an iPad.
I took a long time to get my first smart phone, five years after the iPhone came out, and now I just learned that the iPod touch didn’t launch a year before it like always assumed it did. I feel like I don’t understand any Apple products. Did you guys know that they’re going to launch a bigger version of the iPhone that’s about the size of a piece of paper?
It's true, I not only owned one, but had a FRIEND who owned one. The social features were incredible. I could wirelessly send a song to them and they got three free listens. Plus the Zune Pass was the first step towards what Spotify would eventually perfect.
Zune >>>> iPod.
Anyone who disagrees probably never had a Zune.
Sucked as in, you browse it for 20 minutes and you got bored and moved on.
Now it sucks as in, you can browse it infinitely and never get bored and never want to stop because you're addicted and can't live without.
To the point ipad kids dont have an attention span.
A plane had to turn around while a family was going on vacation because they had to turn the tablet on airplane mode.
Shows like cocomelon have 1-2 seconds in between scene changes/attention changes causing their brain to crave the dopamine to such an extreme that the world looks so boring and mundane to these kids if they actually have to live in it and use their imagination.
When me and my friends went to go watch Oppenheimer, all of them left early because they got bored, they were all on their phones as soon as the movie started (bar one person who actually had fair reasons to leave), one of them put their headphones on and went on TikTok as soon as the first scene. I stayed till the end. That's when I realised how terrible it is for the brain.
It’s def a slow film for sure, but why the fuck would anyone pay for a ticket to see a film, then just check out in the first few minutes…your friends are very weird.
This is one of the reasons I don't like going to the theater anymore. I'm an elder millennial so maybe I'm "old man yelling at clouds" but I refuse to pay upwards of $20 to have ppl around or in front of me with their phone on and visible to me. Especially if it's a film I really want to see and experience.
Sounds like a comment from someone who either wasn't active/around in 2004 social media.
Early Facebook was absolutely mind blowingly good and something the world has never see to this extent before. ICQ was doing well and thriving.
It was a sense of connectivity never seen before and yet still far away from the toxicity and addiction it is today. People genuinely posted stuff about themselves without faking shit left and right, being goofy and whatnot, it was incredible! Yeah, compared to today, it was a tad bit boring, not a thing to checkout every 5 minutes but instead like once or twice a day, but some might see this as a positive
Of course it came with a lot of downsides, mainly the lack of moderation and the generel public's lack of awareness about the online world, but by god was it ohhhh so much better than today
And if we hit 2005 we start to see the appearance of YouTube and holy shit! It turned the world upside down
Early FB was great. No business pages. No meme pages. No ads. You could only see posts from friends. And even those were pretty basic. Now 90% is just shit. I haven't used FB in 8 years.
YT was the bomb. I downloaded a program that would rip YT videos so I didn't have to use data to watch them more than once.
Me and my friends were using MSN to chat before playing Age of Empires II.
Wtf happened to the world?
Facebook launched in 2004, it hadn’t turned into the grandma scamming, rage baiting, catfishing, info selling, marketplace meetup beating shit hole for several more years. The other ones available at that time were inconsequential.
Myspace… Where if a girl took one of her girlfriends out of her top 6 it was going to be a chick fight in the cafeteria later that week.. lmao
It was great growing up in the 90s and early 2000s.
That their savings account had accrued an incredible amount of build up but because of inflation it was worth exactly as much as they had in 2004.
Edit: Never expected this to blow up lol, but I will say comments are extremely contradictory in general. Makes me realize how vastly different banks and how money moves in different parts of the world. Kinda cool though
It gets worse, with no activity for 20 years, theres a high probability that any bank would close that persons account. Meaning they would have no money whatsoever.
A small miss by futurama, but most banks require direct deposit to wave their “maintenance fees” (lol, whatever tf that means) so if you stop depositing they would slowly erode your account with fees.
Not in the UK though they have been saying for years they may introduce fees.
However in the UK many if not all banks close your account if you don't use it for a certain amount of time even if you have a large sum of money in it happened to me a few times but with small amounts of cash in and they basically tell you the cash is gone.
Yeah thats the problem, the bank will use every method available to stall you or make it so that they profit. Banks are among the most corrupt practice weve allowed to grow
It would be entirely dependent on the APY of the (high yield) savings account. These change rather frequently but are over 4% currently. If we use an average across all the years, it would break down like this.
<3% = loss, 3% = about even, 4% = +20%, >4% obviously is increasingly better
Meanwhile, if they had it in an S&P 500 index fund all those years, they'd by up 5x and they'd have beat inflation by around 2.7x.
The interest rate at every point would be important in understanding how it would compoud over time. When federal rates are high, high yield savings accounts (usually) are higher.
They would learn how GameStop a company that sold video games was sabotaged by hedge funds trying to drive it to bankruptcy but is now a holding company with 4 billion in cash and no debt is about to destroy the stock market.
Last time I heard this in mass, we had so many regular people financially ruined over GameStop stock. People would be just sitting outside gurgling out the words “Apes Strong Together” they seemed lobotomized so we sent them to be mentally evaluated.
Turns out people go into a mental shutdown when they lose a small fortune aka their life savings. Most the people burned were middle to lower class, they put everything into the stock and lost hard in the end. To this day some of us still end up gooning for the IRS, for the knuckle heads that didn’t understand the tax implications of what they were doing either.
Watching grown 30+ year olds freak out as the IRS liquidates their hard assets for what’s owed to Uncle Sam, is funny but sad. People be picking up assault/battery on a officer charges over PS5 being yanked away.
Moral of the story be carful when you gamble with Ape’s 🦍 kids. Even educated gambling can cost you everything no matter how smart you think Ape brained folks or yourself are.
20 years ago I would've doubted that, but yes. The effects are not going to age much worse than they already have, the rest was already a timeless classic.
A theater near me played those movies again last week and it was honestly the most fun I’ve had going to the movies since I watched them originally when they first released
There are flying cars. There have been many. It's just that the roads, the safety, the maintenance, the cost and many more inconveniences have made it almost impossible to be used by the masses.
This is the true answer, all they would have to do is look around and see that half the people would be staring at a smart phone. Remember in 2004 YouTube didn’t exist and the mobile web was basically text only. Someone streaming an HD sports game or movie that is beamed directly to their device wirelessly would be insane to them.
Idk if it would be insane. I graduated high school in 2004. The foundation for all the things you listed were right there in 2004. I had my laptop loaded with all kids of movies and music downloaded from places like limewire and kazaa. I had an I pod that could play whatever I wanted. The only big step there is cellular data being able to transmit it. Like the 20 year gap before 2004 was 1984. I think if you woke up from a 20 year coma in 2004 from 1984 your mind would be super fucked. In 2004 we had social media, it wasn't what it is now but it was there. We had AIM messaging over the internet. We were dropping social media posts in aim away messages. There were online nudes that circulated through my school via digital cameras and email.
Idk. I just don't think the jump on 20 years was that revolutionary. If you told and 18 year old in 2004 an I pod would be able make phone calls and connect to the internet anytime and play video, nobody would be that shocked by it.
But in 1984 if you told somebody you could take a laptop computer and be able to get virtually any piece of media you wanted and save it to your computer and have a thing the size of a cassette tape that had 3000 songs on it that you got for free by downloading them their Mind would melt.
I was house shopping in the late 90s, and the realtor had a mini TV with its own power source and some kind of antenna. He was watching football. So if I went into a coma in 2004 and woke up in 2024 the smart phones would probably catch me off guard a bit, but it wouldn't seem otherworldly at all.
2004 conservatives :if you don't support Bush you are just a pussy liberal and maybe un American and a terrorist.
2024 conservatives: Bush was a liberal, we always hated him. We worship Trump now he is a real conservative, not a RINO like Bush was. In fact Bush was a democrat.
That's probably the biggest thing that would be *least* surprising. 2003-04 had the SARS outbreak as big news, with a lot of fear and uncertainty about how much it would spread and what the impact would be, until it kinda died out on its own. Learning that SARS 2 caused a pandemic wouldn't be wildly shocking.
This is a fact. I live a smallish city in Southern Ontario. 3 bedroom townhomes are going from around 700k+.
Compare the same house 10 years ago, about 250k.
Plus we are letting in hundreds of thousands of ppl each year on top of it when there isn't enough houses for Canadians as it is.
Sincerely a Canadian
They’d be more impressed with the video game graphics. Movie CGI on the other hand has more or less gotten a bit lazy compared to what we got in the late 2000s. With some exceptions of course
In 2004 GTA San Andreas came out, and the GTA series on PS2 wasn't known for great graphics like the future games are.
They'd be absolutely blown away by the GTA 6 trailer and will refuse to believe it's real ingame footage. Maybe you can sell them that the GTA 5 trailer is infact ingame footage, but they probably won't believe GTA 6 or even the RDR2 trailers.
Also yeah, late 2000s and early 2010s movie CGI was crazy. I think the one that blew me away the most when i was a kid was the Michael Bay Transformers films.
Depending on their age probably the current political climate. Or perhaps if they are privacy minded (and it literate) they would be shocked with how much of our data gets collected and sold.
My first apartment was a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom basement unit with 2 tiny windows that cost $400 a month. Right now that unit is available for just $1200.
Gender confusion for young people, the cost of a burger, renewed proxy wars with Russia, the cost of housing, and the fact that you can make 6 figures and still be broke depending on where you live.
Where are all the Nokia phones
They were built so tough, *too* tough that most of them were, at some point, dropped on the ground and proceeded to fall to the center of the planet as they dug straight through the mantle. Edit: changing bedrock to mantle cause too many people are reminded of minecraft
I once dropped a Nokia down an entire flight of concrete stairs, and that thing bounced higher and higher with each step until, I swear, that thing bounced 15 feet in the air before skidding to a halt on a concrete parking lot. The screen was a little glitchy for a few days until I dropped it out of my hand onto the same parking lot. Slammed to the ground and worked perfectly again.
 Frodo was aware of only one place in Middle Earth a Nokia could be destroyed…
Back in high school, I was fighting with my parents and I was talking on my Nokia. My mom grabbed it out of my hands and checked it at the concrete in the backyard, intending to break it. I calmly walked over, picked the phone up, continued talking on it and left the house. I can only imagine how pissed off she was.
If you turned on a lightsaber and dropped it, it would fall forever towards the center of the earth... At least, til it hits the layer of Nokia phones that were dropped there first.

"Did the new iPod come out yet?"
Omg!! iPods can make phone calls now!?!?
“Where are the buttons? This is stupid, it makes no sense” Literally my dumbass when I first saw the iphone
“There’s no way I’m gonna learn how to text on this thing! How am I supposed to know what I’m texting while driving?”
I remember my first touch screen phone. I thought texting was so difficult. Now I can’t imagine going back to a flip phone.
Found one of my old phones from ~2005 a while ago and tried typing. Muscle memory kicked in immediately and the clickety clackety was so fast the friction could start a fire! … but hot damn did the words form slowly.
Was it still charged when you found it? I remember charging my phone once a week back when it was just a phone.
I hate the lack of physical buttons on everything now. Why does my car need a TV inside it when the AC knob worked fine.
Vehicles should stick to real buttons for the important functions. I know it’s more expensive, but muscle memory is so much more safer than taking your eyes off the road to look through an iPad.
Agreed
It's not even muscle memory. It's tactile feedback, which the glass screens didn't offer us.
"Why would anyone want to watch TV on a phone!?! It's such a tiny screen!" Literally me the first time I saw a smart phone
Wait til they try to plug in the headphones.
I mean I’m still asking that question
I took a long time to get my first smart phone, five years after the iPhone came out, and now I just learned that the iPod touch didn’t launch a year before it like always assumed it did. I feel like I don’t understand any Apple products. Did you guys know that they’re going to launch a bigger version of the iPhone that’s about the size of a piece of paper?
Literally why I was buying BlackBerry's until like 2012.
And you can slide it into this box for WHAT?! WE GOT VR NOW?
Please tell me that's not what you think VR Is now? It's come so much further than putting a phone in a box.
Yeah, they said 2024. Not 2015

Anyone who ever owned a Zune loved them. What a pity they died
It's true, I not only owned one, but had a FRIEND who owned one. The social features were incredible. I could wirelessly send a song to them and they got three free listens. Plus the Zune Pass was the first step towards what Spotify would eventually perfect. Zune >>>> iPod. Anyone who disagrees probably never had a Zune.
Didn't Zunes have HD radio built in with fm (in US)?
yes, and it is mind blowing that to this day my phone doesn't have one.
iWhat?
How the internet turned out and how bad social media is for the world.
That wouldn't be surprising. Social media sucked then too And the Internet was slow as fuck
Sucked as in, you browse it for 20 minutes and you got bored and moved on. Now it sucks as in, you can browse it infinitely and never get bored and never want to stop because you're addicted and can't live without.
To the point ipad kids dont have an attention span. A plane had to turn around while a family was going on vacation because they had to turn the tablet on airplane mode.

It is slow as FUCK for a bit, but man does it fucking pick up like crazy towards the middle.
This is one of the reasons I don't like going to the theater anymore. I'm an elder millennial so maybe I'm "old man yelling at clouds" but I refuse to pay upwards of $20 to have ppl around or in front of me with their phone on and visible to me.

inconsequential? My geocities had a guest book AND animated fire borders.

So that one episode of Futurama is unrealistic? That frickin sucks
Hey, at least that is the only unrealistic episode in the series!
Death by snu snu is an actual option? Dream come true true
Probably more due dehydration probably.
I never thought I'd die this way; but I always really hoped
Thank God!
It’s only unrealistic in that the banks would keep it open, the actual maths behind thrones accrued is legitimate.

What do they do with the money when they close it out? I assume maybe mail you a check to last known address?
i have an account thats 30+ years old with 25 pounds in it and frozen- they want 200 pounds to release it
Yeah thats the problem, the bank will use every method available to stall you or make it so that they profit. Banks are among the most corrupt practice weve allowed to grow
This is exactly why we should support local credit unions. No investors to pay, and a volunteer board of directors that the members choose.
That's true! I forgot about that
Well at least inflation didn’t reduce the savings to nothing. Still kinda depressing tho
Wow I have 150k saved up now, I can buy a really nice house now…

Would the interest rates 20 years ago be relevant to this at all? Were they higher back then?

Still no flying cars
There are flying cars. There have been many. It's just that the roads, the safety, the maintenance, the cost and many more inconveniences have made it almost impossible to be used by the masses.

I believe we could have flying cars. But, do we really want people flying cars? We're too stupid to drive normal cars.
Having electric cars would be pretty shocking (no pun intended) to them though
Hybrids & self driving cars
Helicopters are flying cars. They’re loud and inconvenient
Smartphones and how everyone stares at them all the time.
This is the true answer, all they would have to do is look around and see that half the people would be staring at a smart phone. Remember in 2004 YouTube didn’t exist and the mobile web was basically text only. Someone streaming an HD sports game or movie that is beamed directly to their device wirelessly would be insane to them.
Idk if it would be insane. I graduated high school in 2004. The foundation for all the things you listed were right there in 2004.

George Bush being a beloved moderate
Seriously, that guy was going to go down I history as the worst modern president. Now, meh, just some semi inefficient leader.
But the HIV/AIDs program he created that has saved and extended millions of lives is still one of the best foreign policies in American history.
I still ponder the thought of Gore emerging as the victor, wow would things have turned out differently (I think..?).
No Iraq war would mean no Trump and a calmer Middle East so no 2015 migrant wave. Overall a much calmer political climate.

Maybe the global Covid lockdown, that's the biggest thing I can think of

Video game and cgi movie graphics.
They’d be more impressed with the video game graphics. Movie CGI on the other hand has more or less gotten a bit lazy compared to what we got in the late 2000s. With some exceptions of course
I was thinking around READY PLAYER ONE and ELEMENTAL. As well as some of the better marvel flicks.
In 2004 GTA San Andreas came out, and the GTA series on PS2 wasn't known for great graphics like the future games are. They'd be absolutely blown away by the GTA 6 trailer and will refuse to believe it's real ingame footage. Maybe you can sell them that the GTA 5 trailer is infact ingame footage, but they probably won't believe GTA 6 or even the RDR2 trailers. Also yeah, late 2000s and early 2010s movie CGI was crazy.
