3peet posted about growing up in earlier decades. My friend's kid posted this in his MySpace account and it reminded me of my nephew and niece and some of the things they did in the 90's. Some of it is true about some things adults did then too.
One major thing missing from this list-Barney the Purple dinosaur.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.
When we recorded stuff on VCRs.
When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman.
