13 Things from the 1980s, Kids Today Will Never Understand!

The 1980s will forever be an iconic time throughout history

I grew up in the 80’s. Definitely an amazing time to be a kid! I really miss the 80’s

Maybe missed how we travelled? Lying across the back window, floorboards. We drove everywhere, had dinner every night at home. Going out for dinner was a huge treat.

In 1980, I had a college roommate whose major was computer programming. I thought that sounded interesting, but wondered if he could get a job with such a degree. At that time, I had never used a computer and didn't know anyone who owned one! I never imagined, just a short time later, EVERYONE including toddlers would use them for almost everything. It really is a different world.

My 10th bday 1981 i woke up and saw at foot of bed a brand new atari console. What an awesome time to be a kid. I rode my bicycle to school which was about 3 miles away. That was a big deal. I was "latch key" kid and i loved everyminute of it. So much freedom and no one thought twice about it😊

Growing up in the 80’s, it was not only a time but a feeling. Hard to explain really. Wish it was still around! What a great time to grow up!!

These are the worst of times. Thanks for the memories of far, far better times.

I was a teenager in the 80’s. My friends and I always talk about what a great time it was. No cellphones, no internet, no texting and we were always hanging out together. Kids today are content with being in their rooms, by themselves, communicating electronically, f… that!

I was in my late teens and early '20s in the 1980"s. We had the best music, the best fashion, and the best entertainment. There will never be another decade as awesome as the '80s.

Saturday morning cartoons were the best!

Mowing lawns was the go fund me thing back then.

Throwing a handful of maple seeds up in the air and watching them gracefully helicopter down. Wonderful nostalgia.

I'm so glad I was a teenager/young adult in the 80s 🙂

MTV had actual MUSIC for a little while in the 80s!

I grew up in the '80s and miss it so much! Thank you for the great memories in this video!

I turned 13 in January of 1980. So I am officially an 80's kid. They were the best of times. Hanging out at the mall on the weekends. Going to concerts, parties. Best of times. They ever invent a time machine, I am going back. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for the great memories.

I’m so glad I grew up in the 80s….

When trying to hurry my 14 year-old niece to leave the house with us this morning, she explained that she couldn't because she was busy "posting". I thought about how when I was 14 that would have meant having to leave the house to take an envelope to the mailbox at the end of the street, or the post office. And while kids today (and frankly, most adults) get a kick out of receiving likes, social media notifications and DMs, there was nothing like the feeling of getting a letter in the mail as a kid addressed to YOU. Nothing.

I miss the 80's so much, I would gladly give up some of the technology we have today to go back to that time. Also love when a rainbow was something beautiful , a sign from God.

So glad I grew up in the 1980s...great times!
