The holiday season stirs up all sorts of nostalgia. Certain smells, tastes, sights, and sounds can set us off on an epic trip back to our younger years—a time before the stresses of adulting took over our once-carefree lives. A time when Santa Claus really did exist. And a time when we yearned for a Walkman, roller skates, or a Game Boy for Christmas.
While thinking of days gone by can bring us a tinge of sadness, many experts say nostalgia is actually a positive and beneficial emotion. If you're not feeling nostalgic enough yet, we may have found something to help you whip up those fuzzy feelings just in time for this holiday season.
"Old Internet" is a special little corner of the World Wide Web, where more than 280,000 people go to revisit memories of the past. As per the X account, it "posts things that have the feel of the old internet or just old things (meaning before 2015)." Bored Panda has put together our personal favorites for your perusing pleasure.

Do not forget to rewind your tapes! I had an N64. Goldeneye was the best game ever.

Whether it's vinyl, cassette, or CDs, they are all mine! And I still believe analog vinyl has the best warmest sound of all of them.

Before we left the states, went to the Book Fair with my kids. The book fair is a sad shell of what it once was...

I still use a BlackBerry. That one in black in fact. I like the keyboard. Physical keyboards should be brought back.

Half of these have nothing to do with the "old internet" (or the current internet) whatsoever.

I think whoever compiled this list got distracted and lost the plot. 🤔 Edit: Looks like someone woke up and removed "internet" from the title. 😄 2nd edit: Shoulda kept my mouth shut. "Internet" has been restored to the title. 🤷♂️

It appears to be the name of the account. BP should apply some editing when selecting which ones to post.

I’m doing my part to keep electronics out of the landfill, and the early 2000’s alive. I still use my iPod every day, my Toshiba laptop with Windows 7, and my original AOL account.

I bought my daughter an Apple laptop in 2010 when she was at uni for $1400, which included a student discount. She still uses it today.
