Kids these days are spoilt with the amount of technology available to them. I'm still pretty young, but I had to endure a serious amount of pain growing up, and by pain I mean having to wait fucking forever for something to download on Limewire...

1. The disappointment of downloading a song from LimeWire and it being some shitty version.

3. Going to the library and looking through so many books to work on something... And Encyclopaedias

4. Or having to use Encarta.

5. Trying to figure out directions with a physical fold-out map.
