The ’90s was a time when technology was in its infancy, so innovation in this area was both plentiful and diverse. And the ’90s was also the decade that introduced the internet, the cellphone, digital cameras, mp3 players, game consoles, and DVD players. And if that’s not enough to keep even the most gadget-averse entertained, the period also witnessed the invention of other wonderful gadgets.
When the ’90s came to an end, many of the most popular gadgets of the decade were forgotten. This is the reason why this article is written. I would like to remind you of the wonderful creations that we experienced and enjoyed during the 90s. Some of my favorite gadgets that I feel deserve revival today are the following:
Gameboy
The Gameboy is considered by many to be the greatest gaming system in human history. Despite being in development for 16 years, it is still considered the most powerful handheld gaming platform. It was the first handheld to gain widespread acceptance in the market and is still widely used today. Virtually every game system since has attempted to copy the Gameboy’s success; however, none have been able to achieve the same level of success.
Tamagotchi
Everyone loves their Tamagotchi, but the problem is it’s so hard to keep them alive. With no battery, no battery-powered parents, no battery-powered food, the little virtual pets are usually doomed to fail. Take Tamagotchi Uki Uki Moe, for example. You can feed your Tamagotchi by grabbing food items that appear in your Tamagotchi’s room, but it’s hard to grab anything without making the Tamagotchi come back to life.
Tamagotchi is really a fun gadget that kids love to play with. Even some adults are also enticed to play it and have it around. This gadget should be revived and improved as kids of today will surely enjoy and have fun with it.
Pager
Today, pagers are a thing of the past, replaced by cell phones and the Internet. Some people still carry a pager, though, and these days, it’s usually a Bluetooth device that can be connected to a cell phone. So, what exactly is a pager, and what does it do? In short, a pager is a small, portable device that sends a ringtone, a beep, or a vibrating signal to a person’s phone when a text or email arrives. Pagers were first developed in the 1970s, and by the 1990s, they were a common feature of the business world. They were popular among truckers, pilots, and other transportation workers, and they were also a popular means of communication. It is a gadget that sends you a message on your cell phone, no matter where you are.
There are a lot more great gadgets and discoveries in the 90s that made a great foundation for today’s new technology. I really hope that some of the great gadgets mentioned above can have a comeback and innovation soon. Through this, the kids of today will surely feel what we have experienced during the old times. They will enjoy these gadgets and have a lot of fun and happiness.
