Cell phones were around in the late 90s. I had one! Teletubbies also were around in 1998 and 1999, my son watched them as an infant! The First George Bush was in office until January, 1992!

Tanya

I was thinking the same thing as others reading his list.  Kyle seems far too young to remember the 90s with any kind of substance or accuracy.  I had Caller ID as far back as 1993.  I started using a cell phone regularly in 1998, but I know a lot of people used them regularly as far back as 1993 or 1994.  The big bulky brick looking "mobile phone" or car phone deal was more of a pre-1993 thing.  There were also plenty of superhero movies in theaters in the 90s, that wasn't invented in the 2000s.  Wasn't Pokemon a late 90s fad?  The Saturday morning cartoon deal is off too. 

Has it come to this?  It was only about 3-5 years ago us Gen Xers were in shock and correcting kids about what they mistakenly believed about the 80s,(like we were living so barbaric back then),  I can't believe we've already moved up to the 1990s.  I think I'm really going to know I'm old when a kid asks me if we had computers and cars back in 2001.

Ha!

In fact, the big bulky mobile phones were around in the 80s! But, they were like testing them. So, only those in the know had them!

Tanya

Some I thought of:


'90's: Blossom
'00's: Lizzie McGuire


'90's: Beverly Hills 90210
'00's: The O.C.

'90's: Vanilla Ice
'00's: Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), though they first came out in late 1998

Yeah..my Dad had a "bag phone"..it was really big (especially compared to now!), but he could carry it in his truck!  ;D

And you know..the Ninja Turtles were big in the early 90's..but my son watches them now on Cartoon Network.  Even new ones,  I believe. 

And Tanya--my daughter, who is 7 now, watched the Teletubbies back in 97-98 too.  We had every one of the darned stuffed talking ones...can't say I miss them all that much...my two year old just watches Sesame Street so far.  :)

No more Teletubbies! Once you get over the initial cuteness of it all, it's so taxing! My son would go crazy over the baby in the sun! Why? I have the faintest idea!

Most 90s cell phones were the old analog style phone, like the one I used to have. I got my first digital phone in 1999 though. You could say VHS for the 90s (and earlier) and DVD for the 2000s, even though DVDs were out at the end of the 90s, but really have taken over in the 2000s.

I recently saw a show from the early-90s. A prize on the show was a cordless phone... with a reciever the size of a small Labrador dog.  ;D


Look how far we've come....

Howard

2000s - Crappy TGIF
90s - good TGIF and SNICK (Are you afraid of the dark?)

2000s - Dora the Explorer
90s - David the Gnome

2000s - Every genre on Top40 radio has been glossed over with poppy crap (Rock, Rap, "Punk," are all just masqued poppy crap these days)
90s - Top40 = 90s Alternative and Gangsta Rap.

2000s - Degrassi: The Next Generation, Lizzy MacGuire
90s - Saved by the Bell, My So Called Life, THE WONDER YEARS (single greatest show ever, though it started in the 80s, but it finished in the 90s)

2000s - Harry Potter (though, first book hit in 98 I think)
90s - Goosebumps

I could go on all day, but I have to study... buh bye!

90's: Real World and Road Rules

00's: Big Brother, Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Mole, The Apprentice, The Bachelor, The Bachelette, The Simple Life, The Joe Schmo Show, The Benefactor, Fear Factor, Amish in the City, Superstar USA, American Idol, American's next top model, Last Comic Standing, The Next Action Star, Who wants to marry my dad?,  Average Joe,  My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, Newlyweds, etc.

* Bachelorette sorry. Typo

'90's: Vanilla Ice
'00's: Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), though they first came out in late 1998


You should've gone...

'90s: Vanilla Ice
'00s: Eminem

Much more appropriate IMO. Fred Durst mixes Rap/Hip Hop with Rock. While Eminem is doing "pure" Rap/Hip Hop just like Vanilla Ice used to do 13, 14 years back.  ;)

I believe Spongebob was 1999..... I'm really stubborn about accuracy I know :-[


But anyway, let's try:

1990s:  standard animation
2000s:  computer/cel-shaded hybrid animation(though it was created in 1999 for Futurama)

1990s:
  -game systems:  Turbo Grafx 16, Super Nintendo, Sega Saturn, Playstation, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Pocket/Color, Sega Dreamcast, 3DO, etc.
  -game genre's:  RPG's, side scrollers, FPS's.
2000's: 
-game systems:  N64, PS2, XBox, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, NVidia NGage, and mostly in Japan, you can play on cel-phones.
-game genre's:  online anything, especially RPG's

1990's:  It's da Bomb
2000's:  It's da shizzle

1990's:  The Disney Afternoon
2000's:  ABC Kids

Don't forget about PS3, X-Box Next, Nintendo DS, and Playstation Portable. They are coming in 00's too.

A few popular series from the eighties and early nineties are being revived, but they will never be as popular as they were. During the Turtles craze of late eighties and early nineties the turtles had 3 movies that made over 300 million in three years, 2 arcade games, 3 gameboy games, 2 Genesis games, 4 Nintendo games, and 2 Super Nintendo games. The Turtles revival of late is nothing more than lazy, uncreative TV people running out of ideas, so why not exploit a concept that had it's time over a decade ago. I feel sorry for the young Generation Y kids, they're getting all our leftovers instead of any good new shows.

I agree the teletubbies were out in 1998 Pokemon was out in 1999, and I had a caller ID in the 90's too.

Here's for accuracy. I'm currently trying to exlpain to my 10 year old neighbor (who owns a cell phone) that when I was his age(I'm an '82 baby) kids didn't own cell phones because they were too expensive. My mother only had one (that fat motorola w/ the "send" button) because she was a doctor and kept getting paged all the time. I remember watching the movie "Clueless" and thinking How amazing it would be to be in school have a cell phone :o. I wouldn't have to run to the pay phones all the time!  ;D When I was a junior in high school one of my freinds , who was 4 years older and out of school, had a cell phone. I didn't see minors with cell phones until after I graduated high school myself. I got my own around the same time. I think they were  less expensive by then. ;)

90's:   "Not until you're older."
00's:   "Here ya go!"

The same can be said for adult entertainment(not porn), as well.  I had to wait, so they should, too.  It's not fair, it's like I'm never gonna escape my childhood if kids are gonna be enjoying the same things I am all my life.

Roxie,every shmoo on the street has one.especially kids.And to tell you the truth,they're not too expensive. :)

You forget Beauty and the Beast, which was the first successful hybrid I beleive...

My mom and I have one of those big Motorola phones from 1995. A non-flip model similar that they used for the first timer on Sliders.

When I said "less expensive" I meant that they may have been affordable enough for people to spend money on a phone for their kids.  That's just a theory I had.Through my P.O.V. the only cell phone owners I knew or saw prior to 2000 were legal adults w/ jobs or upper-middle class kids pretending their parents' business cell belongs to them. In high school, NONE of my own peers had a cell phone, even the middle-class or upper-Middle class kids. I asked my mother for one but she said I had to get a job and pay for my own. The point I was making was that I had noticed within in a couple years there was a quick shift from what was once viewed as an unnecessary luxury in my middle school years to something so important that some parents today have their children carry to summer camp with them.

Now,cell phones today are definitely a "need" for kids or teenagers .You just gotta look around.



Howard

There were cellphones in the 90's, but can you take pictures and play games on a cellphone in the 90's?

90s for pop culture, but the 2000s for technology.etc. So much has changed in ten years..

Are you serious?

2010s = Thin, flatscreen, internet connected and 3D TV and smartphone/Ipad etc all jumbled into one

1990s = Madonna (Maybe she's also the 80s number 1 pop icon)
2000s = Brtiney Spears
2010s = Lady Gaga

1990s = Windows 95
2000s = Windows XP

I'd replace 1990s with SEGA and move Atari to 1980s (Atari in the '90s was treated with goofiness like 8-track tapes were in the '80s). In addition to moving Madonna to the '80s, I'd replace the '90s with Mariah Carey.

Haha that's true!!!!!!!!! I do remember the time when SEGA was around :p just shortly before PS1 becomes Popular :D but I think Both Madonna and Mariah Carey were popular... other diva's like Celine Dion and Whitney Houston also dominate the charts... it was hard for me to decide :p

I'll go ahead and add the 80's.

exactly!! it was popular worldwide in the tail end of the decade, thus it was still considered 00s thing :p

i would say Inception and The upcoming Batman movie

All the hype for Avatar was before the release of the movie (in December 2009) an by 2010 (even after seeing it) I was bored of the film.

Why did everyone love the movie so much anyways?? i've seen better stories :p but yeah the effects were cool

True, the story, dialogue and acting was wooden, but the film was spectacular to watch.

But it came out at the very end of the 2000's, so I consider it more of a 2010's movie. Also, the sequels are scheduled to be released in 2014 and 2015, so the Avatar series would mostly be considered 2010's.

How is Google typical 90's? I discovered it in 2001 and am still using it today. The reason why I have discovered it around one year after I got internet access is that nobody really talked about it during that time. It was not as popular in its early stages as it was all over the '00's.
Youtube is a video site and not a general search engine. It's also more of a second-half-00's thing whereas Google is a real 2000's-decade-thing!

I wasn't comparing them for search engines but more as a difference of what websites we had in those decades. When I was young, my teachers were so hyped about Google when it first launched in 1998. So, I always thought of Google as more of a late 90's website because I used it all the time in my later elementary school years.

Google and Youtube and not just '00s things, they are 21st century things and I'd bet they aren't going away any time soon. Also Google owns Youtube!

Yeah but Google first launched in 1998 last I checked and I used it quite a bit in 1998-1999. I always found Google to be a part of my childhood in the late 90's. :/ Yeah sure it was used a lot more in the 00's but don't forget it was created in the late 20th century.

Holy God you're an obnoxious blight on the human race. Quit being an a$$ and get out of the 90's forum and go back to the 80's. Sheesh!

And what did you use in 2000-2009 for searching? 

The things that really made Google to what it is today (besides the plain search engine) were created in the 00's and not the '90's: Google Photo Search, Google Video, Google Maps, Google Street View and so on.

A better example for the '90's would be a website which was really only available in the '90's and maybe the earlier 2000's; but it can't be a website which is still very popular and still developing in 2012.

It's what makes watching videos easier to use.

I used The Yahoo search engine.

I used Bing. My statement still stands whether you agree with me or not. We had Google in the late 90's not Youtube. Youtube didn't come until 7 years after the launch of Google.

Bing was launched mid 2009. Alright, it's still the 00's ;-)

Right. So 2005-1998 gives you a 7 year gap.

I wasn't comparing them for search engines but more as a difference of what websites we had in those decades. When I was young, my teachers were so hyped about Google when it first launched in 1998. So, I always thought of Google as more of a late 90's website because I used it all the time in my later elementary school years.


They were hyped about google because all they had prior to that was AskJeeves.
;D

It has definitely changed over the years, and I don't think a lot of people use it anymore, but I remember we did - on the Windows 95 systems.

2000-2009 you used Bing?
Impressive that you used something for 8 years that wasn't in existence. ::)
Now, had you said "I used livesearch" or "MSN Search" I might have given some credit to your claim.

The Bing search engine didn't come into existence until last year.

When an unknown artist named Esperanza Spalding beat out Justin Bieber and Drake for the Best New Artist Grammy Award, her wikipedia page was attacked and changed quite badly.  It was funny reading what people changed it to at the time

There has been lots of improvement during the last years. Wrong editing will be dealt with pretty fast now.
It's not sufficient for academic purposes though, but still a good source for researching facts.

And Bing started early June 2009, just like wikipedia stated: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2009/may09/05-28newsearchpr.mspx

The only one I could think of was Bing at the time but I used dogpile and yahoo as well. :/

Well I'm glad I'm not crazy! At least somebody remembers using Google in the late 90's.

I wasn't saying that I remembered google - because it wasn't offered to Joe Q. Public until roughly 2000.
It may have been incorporated in 1998, but it was still under Standford or whever the heck had it with a .edu on the end.
It wasn't mainstream in the late 90's - askjevees, altavista and excite were the biggest search engines.

Yeah, that's when I first remember using it too. Before then I primarily used Yahoo as a search engine.

I definitely don't remember using askjevees. I mostly remember yahoo, dogpile, and google. Eh oh well.

wasnt yahoo a big search engine as well as AOL before google comes in??

Askjeeves is now just ask.com. It's my home page and the only search engine I have ever used consistantly.
So at least 1 person still uses it.  ;D

I think so, to some extent. Yahoo was one of the first websites I ever went to when I first started using the internet, plus it had a handy-dandy search box which worked like a charm.

Yeah, that's when I first remember using it too. Before then I primarily used Yahoo as a search engine.


I used Yahoo as a search engine too back in the late 90's.

AOL probably was the primary search engine for people to use.
