If you lived in the 90s, you will surely miss these things
The 1990s were full of transformations, from wars, signatures of peace agreements and technological advances.

There have been a lot of innovations, and to whet your nostalgia, we've separated 13 technologies from the 1990s that will make you want to go back in time.
1 - Internet has arrived!
Yes it is not a device itself, but the World Wide Web marked the 1990s, was originally proposed in 1989, but was not launched until the early 1990s.
Tim Berners-Lee, with the help of Robert Cailliau, was able to connect hypertext to the internet and created the web we know.
Browsers such as Netscape and Mosaic have helped popularize the World Wide Web worldwide and started a huge technological revolution.
2 - Mega Drive plays SONIC until it can't take it anymore
Sega Genesis or also known as Mega Drive was technically released in the United States in 1988.
But it was only very successful in the 1990s, winning the hearts of thousands.
Surely you spent hours trying to go through some level of Sonic.
3 - Talkboy from Home Alone 2 movie
Talkboy was a portable device that lets you record anything and listen again.
This small device first appeared in the movie "Home Alone 2" shortly after a fully functional version hit the market.
Talkboy had the ability to slow down the recordings, which let's be honest is very funny.
4 - Nintendo 64

5 - Tamagotchi - LoL
Tamagotchi is a toy that enables the creation of a virtual animal, was launched in 1996 and recently re-launched by Bandai in 2017.
Basically you had to take care of your “virtual pet”, feed, clean and put to sleep.
But I believe that just like us, if you had such a toy you probably let it die at least once.
6 - Game Boy Color
Game Boy Color was launched in 1998 by Nintendo, bringing several innovations, including the color screen and a huge collection of games.
One of the great advantages of the handheld console is that it has already hit the market with various gaming options.

7 - Pager or Beep, Beep, Beep or Beeper
We could not ignore the famous Pagers, although in the 1990s they began to disappear due to the emergence of mobile phones, this small device was still widely used.
With basic functions and simple touches Pager was the one that preceded mobile phone technology.
Basically it served to send small text messages using a telecommunication network, it was widely used by businessmen and parents.
8 - Playstation aka PS1
The famous PlayStation, Sony's console was launched in 1994 in Japan and was a true revolution in the console universe.
With innovative graphics, more advanced games and a memory card to save progress, the PlayStation was a real hit.

9 - PalmPilot
In the 1990s, technology was changing and breaking new ground, inserting itself even more into people's daily lives.
PalmPilot was a 90's technology that helped a lot to organize people's lives at the time.
It was possible to save contacts, make appointments, send messages and even make calculations, PalmPilot was almost a "smartphone" of the time, widely used in the 90s.

The company created by Steve Jobs has always been a technology pioneer; The 1990s were extremely important to Apple.

It was successful at the time due to its small size, had a 15 inch color monitor and the speakers were incorporated into the monitor itself.
11 - Floppy Disk
Before we had the USB sticks, CDs, DVDs, external hard drives and cloud, we had the famous floppy disks.
This small device was capable of storing a small amount of information, was widely used in the 1990s by many people.
Whether it's formatting a computer or saving that school assignment, you probably have already used one.
12 - Sony Discman
Before smartphones with Internet, Spotify and etc ... this is how people listened to music.
Discman was first released in 1984 by Sony to replace the Walkman.
By allowing mobility, the device was a success, even skipping a few songs a few times.
