- Nokia cellphones that looked like little bricks - you could program in ring tones and it would beep and boop something recognizable...had Bad Boy 4 Life on mine for a minute...I remember some people being impressed (probably legitimately the first time they heard a ring tone)
- Took you like 5 mins to send a text message
- Mitchell & Ness jerseys were practically gamer quality - but super huge
- TRL and 106 & Park were huge after school/work
- The beginning of eBay - I realized I could jump on there and get just about anything from my childhood (old starting lineups, Sega Genesis games, Jordans)
- Jordan retroes started on a larger scale - I can remember going out to get the 2000 Concords and skipping class...there were no lines.
- NT started - I was on there pretty much 24/7 in college
- NT broke the 9/11 attacks for me, the original post referenced a plan hitting one of the Twin Tower buildings...I went to class and our professor let us know there were 3 other strikes and that America was under attack.
- I went out the same day to the mall...it was a ghost town - purchased The Blueprint
- TMac, Kobe, Iverson were next up.
- The Yankees and Mets were good at the same time
- Tiger Woods was an unstoppable force
- Music was fluffy but fun - everyone was trying to go mainstream and Hip-Hop was starting to blur the lines between pop music - DMX, Eminem, Bad Boy, Fabolous, Ja Rule
- I remember a kid showing me the first generation iPod and thinking it was a pretty cool way to listen to music - this was shortly after Napster got shut down
- Velour sweat suits were everywhere - with AF1s
