One thing I'd like to see from the 2000s is not having brand accounts on social media and not having people's social media always risk affecting their careers. I want it so that desktop programs don't require a phone number. That's another thing. I get if it's like a mobile app. But DISCORD?! REALLY?!

I find cars from the 2000s strangely elegant. The same goes for electronic devices from that era, such as computers and phones. And I would also say cameras from the 2000s.

The more time passes, the more difficult it will be to find this type of object or atmosphere from the 2000s.

We will reach a point where it will be so old that we will have to start repairing everything. Already today... A lot of old equipment is no longer working very well. So yes, most of it still works. But let's say they're on their last legs... And some just need a little help to be like new again.

And if we want to remanufacture them today, they will inevitably be modernized (at least in terms of electronic components). And the feeling of using these objects would not be the same as it was back then.

- Friendly look of the tech of the time

- Simpler and IMs/VoIP software, like MSN Messenger

- Big Companies willing to taking risks by companies like Nokia or Palm, hell even SEGA and Sony

- Social Networks being safe places instead of hellholes

- And much much more...

yes, this is so true.

do you think an alternative to YouTube would become popular if it offered a better experience (yeah, it doesn't take much to be better than YouTube) and didn't have monetization?

well, there is a youtube alternative that doesn’t have monetization, and it’s called “glomble”. we’ll see how that goes

but hey, if you’re craving art for art’s sake, there’s always newgrounds

-Forums and Instant messaging
-DVD/Blu-Ray instead of streaming
-YouTube to be more sharing creativity and not a way for millions to make money.
-Having a dedicated hangout place. my friends just figure out where we go on the way
-Blockbuster
there still are forums like this one, just probably dead
also instant messaging is still around
there are dvd/blu rays still existing, just not popular, i even saw a bluey dvd
there are creative videos, just not popular sadly
blockbuster is still around (i dont know if there are stores, im not in the us)
