Nostalgic Reflections: The Evolution of Lifestyle from the '90s and '00s to Now

BuzzFeed and HuffPost communities share their thoughts on what was considered normal 20-30 years ago but is not anymore. Some of the responses include watching television without constant medicine commercials, longer cords on small appliances, observing Sundays as a day of rest, using fold-up maps instead of smartphones for navigation, and having better healthcare as a young and broke individual compared to being a middle-class adult now. Other changes mentioned include the decline of outdoor play without cellphones, the ability to see people off or welcome them at the airport gate, the affordability of vehicles, the value of a bachelor's degree, the stability of neighbors, the simplicity of technology, and the price of pork belly.
