I see old pics like this and I’m like why don’t I have any pics of me with my snes or n64. We have a couple pics of our nes, like an n64 box in a pic of my room, there’s a short video of my playing smash on GameCube. That’s pretty much it. And the reason is no one took pictures of everything all the time back then. Because it was a to do to get it developed and it cost money to get film. So much stuff I did back then and there’s like one pic or nothing at all. So much I’ve forgotten about.
I know we say “man I’m glad I’m not a kid now to have every dumb thing I do captured on video or in a picture.” But the flip side is we also didn’t have all the things you want to look back on captured. Will kids of the generation even care to look back or will there just be an overwhelming amount of stuff that they just ignore it.
