Come take a walk down memory lane with some of the most iconic and easily recognizable things from our childhood. Growing up in the 80's and 90's was quite different than in present day, for example we didn't have all the high tech gadgets and cool toys these kids today have. Our games and toys required a little more imagination to make them any kind of fun, and perhaps that made us better people in the long run.
Either way, have a gander at this collection of photos that showcase some of the memories from our childhood that remind of us two things, time waits for no one, and dang, we're getting old!

Before they had those fancy card readers and pin-pads they had these old beauties.
18
Don't have a walkman? Can't afford a boombox? Allow me to introduce a not so impressive compramise.

I showed my son an old phone at a thrift store and he didn't believe me for one second that people used these.
