In 2007, nothing seemed more technologically significant than…
1.
iPhone apps where you drank fake beer:
2.
Or iPhone apps where you could download a fake lighter:
3.
And even before that, phones with internet on them in the first place:
4.

Watching full-length movies that cost tens of millions of dollars to make on an iPod with a 2-inch screen:
6.
A DVD or VHS player in their car:
7.
Or, saints preserve us, a whole N64 in a car:
8.
Those watches that lit up blue, truly a sign we were living in the future:

Aggressively thick big screen TVs your one rich friend had:

See-through electronics being the future of design:

CD players with skip protection:

Car phones that you would only see in TV and movies:
22.
Okay, hear me out — these exact light switches that, again, your one rich friend had:
23.
That fish that everyone’s uncle had for some reason:
24.

26.
Those batteries that let you check how much energy was left:
