Being an Irish 16 year old myself I find it hard to believe they don't recognise the distinct sound of a old Nokia ringtone. AND SNAKE THE BEST GAME EVER
More like the less the phone had to do. As in just being a portable carry phone with no other use. The longer they can last. The joke about if you dropped a old clamshell from like 1997 vs a phone from say, 2016. Which one would NOT break. Answer: the one from 1997.
How much of a technological divide was there between you and previous generations, though? Looking at the next generation back, we're talking the difference between growing up with dial-up internet or no internet at all and maybe a computer in the house and growing up with wifi pretty much everywhere and smartphones that have several times the storage capacity of that computer in the house.
@Lauren Harkin i think we were. I mean we could get by in life back then without any wifi and a phone and people actually read for entertainment back then.
well, I was banned from facebook for posting crime statistics....FACTS !!! so crime numbers from the FBI data base got me banned for racism. facts are now racist. it is a new world. and life without fb has been awesome.
lgnfve yeah i like never charged my nokia and I would play snake on the bus home from sports gangs since most other people were sleeping. I only had the phone to let my mom know how far we were from home and where to pick me up. we took pictures with each other and stuff but our phones weren't in our hands 24/7. we would talk to each other on the way to the games and then talk when we got ready to go home
nah these are just ignorant kids theres a bunch of kids who know exactly what these are and what they can and cant do and ones which arent addicted to their phones
Saintphoenix Ever heard of the flynn effect? How about more developed countries? Im sure if you do, you realize that countries with developed economical systems, substantial educational systems and increasing intelligence (as us humans are only getting smarter) equates to very intelligent people. The United States fitting these catagories very effectively represents the representable, average intelligence of the country.
Human beings are NOT getting more intelligent. Explain Socrates. Explain Michelangelo. Explain Pythagorus. Explain Da Vinci. THERE goes your so-called theory. So much for "humans getting smarter"; not to mention the ample evidence all around us that we as the human race are only getting dumber, which would cancel out your alleged "effect" anyway.
I was born in 1962. Before cell phones, you had to drive around, looking for a pay phone. Or just go home and use your own phone. I remember in 1974 getting a touch tone phone. It was like the future! No more rotary phones. My Grandparents in the country had a party line and a rotary phone. You had to wait until the line was free to make a call. You would pick up the receiver and if you got dial tone, you could make a call. If you heard a voice, then you hung up. Before the internet, you went to the library or you looked it up in the encyclopedia. No google. Don't know what an encyclopedia is? Google it.
I remember dating in the 90s!! Coming home and checking your answering machine for messages and hoping the boy you liked left at least one message....two and you know he REALLY liked you! AND i still have handwritten letters from a boyfriend from summer breaks in college circa 1991...and lots of letters from my mom...sweet memories/treasures
"Don't know what an encyclopedia is? Google it." - I had to explain to a kid that an encyclopedia was basically Wikipedia in book form... then he understood.
blue_jay96 I'm only 14 but they definitely picked the most clueless dumbass teenagers in Dublin. How the hell have they not heard the ringtone before? It's ridiculous
the good old phones you could chuck at the wall and not worry about the screen breaking :D plus your battery would last at least a week withouth charging
Fun fact, a buddy's dad bought the Ericsson "shark fin" indestructible phone, and immediately threw it in the wall. Not at - in. He had to dig out the phone from the wall and it didnt have a scratch on it.
I remember my first Nokia brick, I dropped it on the concrete so many times, and only the back would fly off, sometimes the battery fell out too, but it never broke. I miss these unbreakable phones so much
I'm thinking maybe they're all the eldest in the family? So they didn't have the filtered down experience of older siblings having phones like this etc.
Right, as a 15 year old in Ireland, I promise we are not all as bloody clueless as this video demonstrates. I was really shocked by the reactions that were given by the reactors and mainly their sheer thoughtlessness of the phones. The fact upon their dependence of social media gives an almost cruel view of what a lot of my generation and the future awaits.
I genuinely hope not all kids in your generation aren't so disrespectful and stuck in such a claustrophobic bubble. That would be the start of the end of the world.
***** I agree I knew about all of that stuff but unfortunately today's kids act like everything is a popularity contest and you have to be cool. They are to concerned about what they look like and being cool ad if you don't meet the standards you are considered weird
i had that second nokia in 2005. I was 14, and i only had it to call my dad when practice was over so i could get picked up. funny how 12 years later kids are like "if I can't have social media, what's the point of having a phone?" um...so you can CALL or TEXT people????
I'm the same age as these ppl and I'm not as clueless. surely their parents have used at least one of those. y were they so shocked like have they not even seen them in movies if not in real life?
Yvonne Mcelroy xx OK, I can understand that your generation doesn't know about Motorola, but Sony Ericsson still exists... And they can't even read the names... How tf is that possible?
Depends on your definition of millennial. Some definitions have it as 1995 or later. Some people think it goes back to 1980. Personally I think if you're going to use the term millennial, it should be close to the new millennium (i.e. year 2000).
The term millenial means the last generation that saw the millenium come in. IE born in 2000 or later you are generation Z. It goes back to the 80s because somewhere around there is when Gen Y ended.
I was born long before cell phones and beepers. I remember party lines, multiple customers on one land line, they sucked if one of customers talked forever and no one else could use it.
Phil Nolan Phil Nolan I know, I'm not dumb. And I am aware of camera obscura and such. I had photography classes for 4 years in my high school. But what I meant is that back then phones weren't used to make portraits. They were made to call people and write messages. Isn't it obvious...? So don't try to be smart, sir, because everyone knows it wasn't invented yesterday.
Well, 'selfies' have existed for a while, just not always on cellphones, and they weren't always called 'selfies.' I've seen pictures as far back as the 1950s and '60s of people taking pictures of themselves (my favorites are Paul McCartney's mirror selfies and the one that George Harrison took in front of the Taj Mahal). And self portraits, as Phil Nolan said, have existed for a very long time, too. We've always been a rather narcissistic society; technology has just made it easier in recent years.
They don't appreciate what they have because it's all they know. The generation before them bad to make due with things like dial up internet and enjoy technology as it advanced. But these kids have a handheld computer in their pockets before they reach age 10.
"were people smarter back then"...yes and no. But way less dependent on electronics. People nowadays act like a cellphone is like crack. They can't live without it or they'll go into withdrawals. Hell I was born in 94 and did not get a cell phone until high school and even then it was just to call. Didn't get a texting one till I started a business.
03Kimsey '96 baby here and yeah, we had corded AND cordless landline phones, a caller id machine, and the windows xp 2004 with dial up. I got a Motorola flip phone & a cheap ps2 when I was 12-13, and I had to share that phone with my mom lol. then I had one of those clunky samsung texting phones for a few years. didn't get my first smartphone until I was 17, I think. because of expenses, our family has always been a bit behind with technology lol. now we have pretty much everything. not all millenials were raised on technology
from 93, didn't have much interest in getting a phone, ended up with one when I was 19 out of need, still dont use any social networks after trying at first. I dont know how people can be so addicted, its so boring to me XD
Jimmy M Were we way less addicted though. Because I remember sending thousands of texts a month and playing the stock games for hours at a time. Just because it wasn't Twitter or Instagram doesn't mean we weren't addicted.
'90 baby here, I got my first cell phone when I was 15, it was a samsung flip phone with texting and calling capabilities. Had a small camera and was pretty neat. I didn't get a smartphone until I was in my 20s and I'm shit terrified of breaking or losing it since it's so damn expensive and so much of my info is on there, I don't want to send it to anyone to fix it. I do love having music and youtube readily available though, 15 year old me would have LOVED the youtube app (even though the site was still in it's infancy), since the flip phone struggled to connect to myspace.
Before the brick, there were only carphones. Before carphones were pagers. Before pagers were payphones and cordless phones and caller ID and answering machines. Before payphones and cordless phones and Caller ID and answering machines were phones that were ACTUALLY ATTACHED to the wall. And *gasps* before that the dial was ROTARY and if your friend had zeroes in their number you'd need at least three attempts to complete the call as your finger always slipped out.
I have never hated children more. But it's not about these specific ones, it's just a generational thing. I think I've officially become an old man. Now if I only had a lawn to yell at whipper snappers to get off of.
I never thought that by 30 I feel so old but I remember being so excited when I was 15 to get my dad's hand me down brick phone that literally could only make calls and still needed me to have everyone's numbers memorized to do so.
I know right! Fuckin kids these days. Making me feel like a grandpa before I even have kids of my own. Back in my day we used to talk on the home phone, WITH CORDS DAMNIT, long ones, and you hoped to christ your little brother didn't pick up the other end and listen in to your conversations. _rabble rabble rabble_
azdgariarada it should be these specific ones they are so annoying. I'm 14 and Im pretty sure I'm not as bad as them don't blame my whole generation please
How am I 19, only 3/4 years older than some of these kids, yet me and my friends all know what these phones are? Like, I thought motorola was a well known brand
I wish they didn't look at those cell phones as a loss but instead think of them as a cool interesting cell phone. Kids and teens need to remember that even though to them it may look useless, to us back then it was a cool upgrade.
I will admit the phones are bad compared to now but you really have to appreciate them seriously the one with the glasses was really condescending every invention has to start somewhere the first computer was as big as a room and people back then had more person to person conversations
They're the same age as my younger brother and he could literally name all of these ._. so do I as 21 y/o... holy fuck kids are spoiled nowadays and know nothing about the origin/development of a product.
"...like being a millenial, cause I don't have to deal with this." People born in the beginning of 80's through to early 2000's are 'millenials'. These kids are post-millenials already. :D
I was born in 1989 and I can still remember when you can set your dial tone with music for a price, taking picture of a desktop wallpaper was good enough to put as your nokia's wallpaper, have bulging pockets cause your phone's so thick, using infrared to transfer data, and converting songs to midi...
It's disturbing to think that kids nowadays are stuck inside on the Internet, it's not so bad when you're older, but kids should be outside, give these kids a football and you'd get the same what is this reaction
+Stephen W Oh come on, it's not up to you what kids should or should not do, you're overreacting anyway. Unless you live in the middle of a big city there's plenty of kids playing outside, don't act like there weren't kids in the olden days watching TV all day long.
Yep. It's interesting to look at a graph of obesity incidence, and see how much it's changed in 30 years. Too many kids sitting inside on the computer.
Say what you want about the old shitty phones, but the analog voice quality was way better, and no delay while talking. Of course how often do we actually talk on a phone now....
I find it funny when kids/teens say “how did you live” what most kids/teens forget is when people use those phones we did have or couldn’t even imagined today’s phone
True, I went to a museum as a kid and saw models of the first ever cars, and thought, that's so cool, these kids would be like, "Ew, how did they use these stupid cars, so silly!" XD
my dad had the old brick! but also the thicker one b4 that. ah to explain pagers and payphones & carrying quarters or stopping at friendly businesses to place calls. magical days them! 😄👍
My dad told me when I started driving to keep a dollar bill in my owner's manual in the glove box, that way if I broke down, I'd always have money for a payphone.
been here since the beginning and i just want to say CONGRATS! i love you guys I love this channel and keep up the great work hopefully someday I will make it to Ireland and see your beautiful country.
I'm so glad to have experienced cassette tapes and CDs when I grew up, floppy disks, having a mobile phone was a privilege. I had to get off the Internet when my mum wanted to make a call, not to mention that we shared a PC in a 4 head household. good memories ^-^
These kids are spoiled! I was thrilled to have those 400 minutes a month when I was 18 in 2001. When I got a phone that could text and take pictures, it was amazing! Until I was charged 20 cents a text. My first smartphone was a revelation and I couldn't believe how big it was! Before that it had been a competition to get the smallest possible cellphone.
This reminds me of how I'm basically losing my best friend because she'd rather stay at home snapchatting people instead of going out skating, bowling, or swimming with me and our other friends. And even if she does come, she stays on snapchat instead of enjoying the activities. It's quite infuriating.
YES people were smarter back then because we used our brains to think instead of having a phone do it for us. People today would most likely die of instant alzheimer's if they lost their phones and can't get a replacement.
When they hit the buttons on the Nokia 3310, you can hear the cellular signal buzzing in the microphone, it's a slight static sound, if you listen closely you can hear it. It's not an audible sound coming from the phone, it's electromagnetic interference that is affecting the magnet in the microphone. Works the same with speakers. I always knew when my Nokia was going to ring when I was at work because I could hear that coming through my computer speakers.
TheMovieMyLife You have never faced the power of a bloody nokia then, you could probably use those to airbomb some people from 5 stories high and it still wouldnt leave a single bloody crack, at most a few small scratches
No, or if they are they are not popular or pushed on people, most phones pushed are Apple, Samsung and you can get HTC but everything is really not popular. If you contact the mobile phone networks to stock newly released phones they tell you there isn't enough demand to stock them even in a limited quantity.
im 19 and i can remember having some of them mashing out the infrared to get the banging tunes off your mate who paid 2 euro to get the mp3 version of the song off the back of a magazine now and your battery lasted 30days instead of 30 minutes
Being an Irish 16 year old myself I find it hard to believe they don't recognise the distinct sound of a old Nokia ringtone. AND SNAKE THE BEST GAME EVER
Aoife I agree at LEAST you'd recognise the ringtone they're acting like it's alien to them
Aoife Ikr I used to always play the snake game on my nanny’s phone and I’m 17 now I loved that game and my nanny still owns a Nokia
Aoife that's so true
Yeah. Loads of older people still use Nokia here. And it’s still being made too!
Agreed...nokia phones were awesome and could really take a beating!
The smaller the phone, the better the phone back in 2001: fact.
More like the less the phone had to do. As in just being a portable carry phone with no other use. The longer they can last.
The joke about if you dropped a old clamshell from like 1997 vs a phone from say, 2016. Which one would NOT break. Answer: the one from 1997.
Nola Chick n
Yes.. i ise to have a panasonic brand phone at that time.. its so small. Like a baby palm. Even i cant believe it. But 1 charges you go for 4days
They don't understand the Nokia phones were like bomb proof.
Yeah, I dont remember being that out of touch with previous generations when I was a kid. Its kind of scary actually.
Michael Spectre We're not all that out of touch
yeah same as a kid i had some interactions with some baby boomers and generation X people
How much of a technological divide was there between you and previous generations, though? Looking at the next generation back, we're talking the difference between growing up with dial-up internet or no internet at all and maybe a computer in the house and growing up with wifi pretty much everywhere and smartphones that have several times the storage capacity of that computer in the house.
"I feel so dumb trying to use it... Were people smarter back then?". Yes, yes we were. SMH
I feel so bad to live in the world full of stupid teens :\
You should have seen my little nephew when i showed him my dj set with record players and vinyl records.
How did he react and say?
@@gracz24PL teens today will say a nokia 5110 is trash no its not its a bueaty!
@Lauren Harkin i think we were. I mean we could get by in life back then without any wifi and a phone and people actually read for entertainment back then.
battery stand by lasted 30 days and the phones were indestructible.....complete opposite of today.
well, I was banned from facebook for posting crime statistics....FACTS !!! so crime numbers from the FBI data base got me banned for racism. facts are now racist. it is a new world. and life without fb has been awesome.
lgnfve yeah i like never charged my nokia and I would play snake on the bus home from sports gangs since most other people were sleeping. I only had the phone to let my mom know how far we were from home and where to pick me up. we took pictures with each other and stuff but our phones weren't in our hands 24/7. we would talk to each other on the way to the games and then talk when we got ready to go home
lgnfve welcome to technology? Photos are higher resolution and have way more uses....... science
lgnfve thank you
Tara // We did have cameras you know. The primary difference between then and now is the ease of taking a selfie.
The lad with the glasses makes me feel ill
Hes REVOLTING
Listening to them try to pronounce "Motorola" - lol! Damn, I'm old.
nah these are just ignorant kids theres a bunch of kids who know exactly what these are and what they can and cant do and ones which arent addicted to their phones
J-Me , I know, I feel old watching this, I remember them phones came out and I thought it was space age shit, fuck technology right in the ass 😂
J-Me I have a Motorola Nexus 6 and it's fantastic. Hell, even the Google Pixel phone is part of the line
J-Me I'm 19 and these kids must be kept under the stairs I'm pretty sure my friends had Song Ericsson's when we were 8-9 years old.
J-Me Which is odd since Motorola has popular phones out now.
Good ol' Nokia 3310. That thing was practically indestructible.
I promise most teenagers over here are not as clueless as the fella in the green shirt.
Snoop Doge hes in my class. hes not actually that clueless. hes acting in this
Why would you even act in this, like just film their reaction normally, you know like you're supposed to

Caturday Nite I still love rotary phones. I remember when we got a push button and all the fun was gone from making a phone call. Lol.
I have an antique candlestick rotary phone and I love it (novelty). They'll never the the pleasure of slamming the phone receiver on someone....wham!
I remember dating in the 90s!! Coming home and checking your answering machine for messages and hoping the boy you liked left at least one message....two and you know he REALLY liked you! AND i still have handwritten letters from a boyfriend from summer breaks in college circa 1991...and lots of letters from my mom...sweet memories/treasures

I love your sass. You should be a teacher with that attitude!
I'm 20 years old, but watching this has made me feel 80 years old. I think I actually grew grey hairs as this video went on
blue_jay96 i checked. 3 new gray hairs. dammit facts!
Tell me, im 18 and I cant believe how they reacted, lol.
Same for me. They are not much younger than me, but i feel so much older than them. I grew up with old cellphones.
Serenata me too, I'm just 18 and feel so much older than this crew.
blue_jay96 I'm only 14 but they definitely picked the most clueless dumbass teenagers in Dublin. How the hell have they not heard the ringtone before? It's ridiculous
the good old phones you could chuck at the wall and not worry about the screen breaking :D
plus your battery would last at least a week withouth charging
Try months. I have a Nokia brick phone that goes for months with no power. Every so often I find the charger, plug it in and it's good to go
Fun fact, a buddy's dad bought the Ericsson "shark fin" indestructible phone, and immediately threw it in the wall. Not at - in. He had to dig out the phone from the wall and it didnt have a scratch on it.
Not my LG441G flip phone,though. The battery on this phone would last for a 2-4 days.
I remember my first Nokia brick, I dropped it on the concrete so many times, and only the back would fly off, sometimes the battery fell out too, but it never broke. I miss these unbreakable phones so much
I'm 17 and it hurts me how clueless they are. Like, we grew up around these phones 🙄
Ellen Collins Same!!
I'm thinking maybe they're all the eldest in the family? So they didn't have the filtered down experience of older siblings having phones like this etc.
I used one of these up until last September lol
I remember like most of those
these are all bullshit lmao. or thick kids
"It's not even an iPhone"
Christ, kid, are you joking me?
Yeah, iPhone didn't exist until 2007
Yea good lord
I'm only 18 and it's pains me watching this
You're one of the few...
yep me too lel
Honestly same
it makes me feel really old
I'm 17 and the same.
Right, as a 15 year old in Ireland, I promise we are not all as bloody clueless as this video demonstrates. I was really shocked by the reactions that were given by the reactors and mainly their sheer thoughtlessness of the phones. The fact upon their dependence of social media gives an almost cruel view of what a lot of my generation and the future awaits.
I genuinely hope not all kids in your generation aren't so disrespectful and stuck in such a claustrophobic bubble. That would be the start of the end of the world.
Guys I'm fifteen and I swear we are not all clueless as these guys. We are not all glued to our phones.
That is good to hear. Thank you
Dr. Pyro i would hope so
Dr. Pyro Me too. I don't know where they found kids like this.
***** I agree I knew about all of that stuff but unfortunately today's kids act like everything is a popularity contest and you have to be cool. They are to concerned about what they look like and being cool ad if you don't meet the standards you are considered weird
Dr. Pyro pfft, I'm 37 and I'm glued to mine lmao
"I just can snap it easily"
believe me it's stronger than what you think
I'd pay to watch him break his thumbs trying!
Yeah my instant reply was "No son, you cant"
The phone would break him tbh not the opposite
old Irish people try new cell phones
jordan cooney looool
I'd watch that.
My mother's 67 and my dad's 75. Is that old enough? They both have Sony Xperias and have no problem using them at all.
i had that second nokia in 2005. I was 14, and i only had it to call my dad when practice was over so i could get picked up. funny how 12 years later kids are like "if I can't have social media, what's the point of having a phone?" um...so you can CALL or TEXT people????
I'm the same age as these ppl and I'm not as clueless. surely their parents have used at least one of those. y were they so shocked like have they not even seen them in movies if not in real life?
Yvonne Mcelroy xx Thank God.
Yvonne Mcelroy xx OK, I can understand that your generation doesn't know about Motorola, but Sony Ericsson still exists... And they can't even read the names... How tf is that possible?
motorola still exist lol
they actually make quite good phones. And cheap too. google had it a few years ago even
Yvonne McE I personally thought they were just trolling us into thinking they didnt understand 😕
"I would rather have nothing than this"
If my future kids ever said some ungrateful shit like that to me they can bet they'll get nothing
DanielConley Seriously. If her parents' reaction after this was anything but "challenge accepted," they're parenting wrong.
Millenials are aged 20-35. YOU ARE GENERATION Z
Well they are going to at least turn 20 this year... but yeah.
Ashley Delgadillo no 18-35 is ages of millennials the last generation of millennials just graduated.
Depends on your definition of millennial. Some definitions have it as 1995 or later. Some people think it goes back to 1980. Personally I think if you're going to use the term millennial, it should be close to the new millennium (i.e. year 2000).
Actually, millenials were born from 1983 to 2000. So we're aged 17-34. But you're right. These weans definitely aren't millenials.
The term millenial means the last generation that saw the millenium come in. IE born in 2000 or later you are generation Z. It goes back to the 80s because somewhere around there is when Gen Y ended.
That git in the green shirt just boils my blood.
I can see him being one of those annoying middle manager types already!
You merely adopted the cellphone. I was born into them, molded by them. I didn't see a smartphone until I was already a man.
NICE!
pmsl
Same. AgrEEd. I remember having a beeper//pager & you used codes for different things lol
also had the original Nintendo BEST bday EVER lol. =D
I was born long before cell phones and beepers. I remember party lines, multiple customers on one land line, they sucked if one of customers talked forever and no one else could use it.
If it was smart, then why does it make people dumb?
I was not alive on the pager period but I do remember antennae'd mobile phones.
honey, you are not a millenial!
Yes thank you he is generation Z
Don't these fools know that phones are meant for phone calls?
Yes, people were smarter back then.
phones were dumber then but people were smarter, the exact opposite of today....
So true
"how did you like ppl do it back then". We didn't. We didn't do selfies. Shocking, right?
Pompon Oneesan Self portraits have existed longer photography itself.
Unless you had those Polaroid or Kodak instant cameras.
Phil Nolan Phil Nolan I know, I'm not dumb. And I am aware of camera obscura and such. I had photography classes for 4 years in my high school. But what I meant is that back then phones weren't used to make portraits. They were made to call people and write messages. Isn't it obvious...? So don't try to be smart, sir, because everyone knows it wasn't invented yesterday.
No people took selfies with regular cameras before phones had cameras. the main thing is that we didn't show them to the world.
Well, 'selfies' have existed for a while, just not always on cellphones, and they weren't always called 'selfies.' I've seen pictures as far back as the 1950s and '60s of people taking pictures of themselves (my favorites are Paul McCartney's mirror selfies and the one that George Harrison took in front of the Taj Mahal). And self portraits, as Phil Nolan said, have existed for a very long time, too. We've always been a rather narcissistic society; technology has just made it easier in recent years.
yes......yes people were smarter in the past, before everyone became glued to "smart"phones
They don't appreciate what they have because it's all they know. The generation before them bad to make due with things like dial up internet and enjoy technology as it advanced. But these kids have a handheld computer in their pockets before they reach age 10.
Incorrect my friend
While you paint in broad strokes with the statement, there is merit in the thought that as the tech gets smarter people try less to keep up.
"were people smarter back then"...yes and no. But way less dependent on electronics. People nowadays act like a cellphone is like crack. They can't live without it or they'll go into withdrawals. Hell I was born in 94 and did not get a cell phone until high school and even then it was just to call. Didn't get a texting one till I started a business.
Same! I'm a 96 baby and it's funny to see these kids testing what I used back in high school! B)

I didn't get a smartphone until I was in my 20s and I'm shit terrified of breaking or losing it since it's so damn expensive and so much of my info is on there, I don't want to send it to anyone to fix it. I do love having music and youtube readily available though, 15 year old me would have LOVED the youtube app (even though the site was still in it's infancy), since the flip phone struggled to connect to myspace.
i honestly feel embarrassed to be part of that generation
seeing people never have used a phone with buttons before is so weird ahah
Before the brick, there were only carphones. Before carphones were pagers. Before pagers were payphones and cordless phones and caller ID and answering machines. Before payphones and cordless phones and Caller ID and answering machines were phones that were ACTUALLY ATTACHED to the wall. And *gasps* before that the dial was ROTARY and if your friend had zeroes in their number you'd need at least three attempts to complete the call as your finger always slipped out.
The beautiful evolution of technology. Sad to think that even landlines are rare now. I don't know more than a handful of people with one.
@@-ZodiacPrince- we still have a landline at home. We use it for business calls though.
I have never hated children more. But it's not about these specific ones, it's just a generational thing.
I think I've officially become an old man. Now if I only had a lawn to yell at whipper snappers to get off of.
I never thought that by 30 I feel so old but I remember being so excited when I was 15 to get my dad's hand me down brick phone that literally could only make calls and still needed me to have everyone's numbers memorized to do so.
azdgariarada, "whipper snapper" lol. awww "Grandpa" XD
I know right! Fuckin kids these days. Making me feel like a grandpa before I even have kids of my own.
Back in my day we used to talk on the home phone, WITH CORDS DAMNIT, long ones, and you hoped to christ your little brother didn't pick up the other end and listen in to your conversations.
_rabble rabble rabble_
azdgariarada, ahhhh those were the days lol
azdgariarada it should be these specific ones they are so annoying. I'm 14 and Im pretty sure I'm not as bad as them don't blame my whole generation please
How am I 19, only 3/4 years older than some of these kids, yet me and my friends all know what these phones are? Like, I thought motorola was a well known brand
Congratulations facts on reaching a million subs, well deserved
*FINALLY!!*
(Facts go to an art gallery to celebrate?)
Sean M , 😂😂😂, A Sean M celebration
Sean M maybe even an abstract one?
I appreciate your persistence.
Honestly, you should be invited to the party along with Nadia, Stephen, J-Me, and pinkysworn.
I'm with C*Stereo .
What do you reckon +Stephen ?
"Can you check your email?" Someone hit him with a phonebook. Gotta send him back to the 90's bro.
I wish they didn't look at those cell phones as a loss but instead think of them as a cool interesting cell phone. Kids and teens need to remember that even though to them it may look useless, to us back then it was a cool upgrade.
I will admit the phones are bad compared to now but you really have to appreciate them seriously the one with the glasses was really condescending every invention has to start somewhere the first computer was as big as a room and people back then had more person to person conversations
Your display picture looks so real
love the kids comment were people smarter back then. think he hit the nail on the head
They're the same age as my younger brother and he could literally name all of these ._. so do I as 21 y/o... holy fuck kids are spoiled nowadays and know nothing about the origin/development of a product.
yeah truth
Cell Phones ? agh hear now its called a Mobile phone in Ireland ."This is why i like being a millennial" christ almighty
veronicadredd22 more to the point, he's not a millennial.
+Kieran Fitzgerald
That depends on what definition you prefer to pick.
I don't think any definition of "millennial" extends past 2000, and the oldest among these kids were born in 2000 at the earliest.
i was actually born in 2000 but relate more to older generations than my own
"...like being a millenial, cause I don't have to deal with this." People born in the beginning of 80's through to early 2000's are 'millenials'. These kids are post-millenials already. :D
someone want 2 tell that kid he's not a millennial.
Christina Scott Gen Z. Millennials are the kids of baby boomers
552mustang I thought millennials were kids of genxers.
Millennials are people born between the early 80s and mid 90s
Gen Z then are anyone born between 2000/2001(?)-2011
Lol i wanted to comment this same thing ha
I was born in 1989 and I can still remember when you can set your dial tone with music for a price, taking picture of a desktop wallpaper was good enough to put as your nokia's wallpaper, have bulging pockets cause your phone's so thick, using infrared to transfer data, and converting songs to midi...
It's funny how they can't even recognize current phone brands. They should show them an original iphone and blow their minds.
Mo...Moo...mooo tooo roollaaa (3 times). I refuse to believe education is this poor outside the U.S.
It's disturbing to think that kids nowadays are stuck inside on the Internet, it's not so bad when you're older, but kids should be outside, give these kids a football and you'd get the same what is this reaction
+Stephen W
Oh come on, it's not up to you what kids should or should not do, you're overreacting anyway.
Unless you live in the middle of a big city there's plenty of kids playing outside, don't act like there weren't kids in the olden days watching TV all day long.
Electric Sheep I never said it was up to me, and kids nowadays definitely stay inside more and are less sociable, that's just a fact
Yep. It's interesting to look at a graph of obesity incidence, and see how much it's changed in 30 years. Too many kids sitting inside on the computer.
Yeah but being stuck on the internet means I can binge watch Facts. videos!!
J-Me that's definitely another thing I was getting at, sitting in, looking at a screen and not getting any exercise
It's like watching cavemen try and use tools. Did you pick the most clueless Irish teens or what?
Quinlan they found the “special” ones.
Say what you want about the old shitty phones, but the analog voice quality was way better, and no delay while talking.
Of course how often do we actually talk on a phone now....
David Martin I talk on my phone still. Granted, I'm not some millennial baby.
I find it funny when kids/teens say “how did you live” what most kids/teens forget is when people use those phones we did have or couldn’t even imagined today’s phone
So true
as a kid born in the early 80's i owned most of these phones, seeing the kids of today's reactions was brill!
I'm turdy seven and the Nokia 3310 was my second cellphone and it lasted for 5years. Loved it.
you know what i miss? Phone cases! like actual phones cases that you bought from a dodgy market stall not just a phone condom.
Reece Morrison Problem is that, unless you're rocking an iPhone or Galaxy, you still have to get your cases and condoms from dodgy markets or eBay.
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers. I found you guys a couple of years ago and been watching since
Children dismiss technological milestones while having never achieved anything in life.
Are you really going to knock kids who've barely been alive for a decade and a half for "having never achieved anything in life"?
Good excuse, totally missing the point.
What, hating kids?
True, I went to a museum as a kid and saw models of the first ever cars, and thought, that's so cool, these kids would be like, "Ew, how did they use these stupid cars, so silly!" XD
I'm 28 and I feel like I aged 50 years watching this video.
Okay, honey, I'm a millenial. You're not. Lol.
I wouldn't be proud of that either though.
he is gen z gen z is gone because year 2011 marked a new era GEN ALPHA
"How could they live like this?" It's easy to live with something you don't know exists. Put thought into your questions pleebs!
i'm 15 and i used to have two of those phones,,
thanks for reminding me why I hate teenagers
inb4 Fine Bros try to takedown the vid
"I have an IPhone"
Get a life pal 😂
Could you imagine giving these kids a pager??
Answer: Yes. People were smarter back then.
my dad had the old brick! but also the thicker one b4 that. ah to explain pagers and payphones & carrying quarters or stopping at friendly businesses to place calls. magical days them! 😄👍
My dad told me when I started driving to keep a dollar bill in my owner's manual in the glove box, that way if I broke down, I'd always have money for a payphone.
J-Me That's when you call collect and leave your number when you're supposed to say you're name
Phil Nolan lol. yeah I would always call collect and say "games over pick me up"
"You have to be like Thor to press these buttons, Omg!" im dying 😂😂😂😂
No imagination, and very limited life experience, to call something 12 years old "Back Then".
been here since the beginning and i just want to say CONGRATS! i love you guys I love this channel and keep up the great work hopefully someday I will make it to Ireland and see your beautiful country.
Im a teen, Im Irish, and even I feel old watching this😂
"Can you record with this? Can you check emails?"
Mate...
That old people moment when you realized you owned one of these.
i'm 16 and i remember some of these...why are they acting like they have no clue
I'm 15 and these kids pain me
Legendary Nokia 3310 .....I had one back in those ancient times,it was so reliable like VW Golf 2 diesel,haha
He thinks he's a millennial? As if.
I'm so glad to have experienced cassette tapes and CDs when I grew up, floppy disks, having a mobile phone was a privilege. I had to get off the Internet when my mum wanted to make a call, not to mention that we shared a PC in a 4 head household. good memories ^-^
If you were born after 1995, I'm sorry but you're not a millennial. You're generation Z.
@@jetstream6389 No, millenials were born through 1986-1995
These kids are spoiled! I was thrilled to have those 400 minutes a month when I was 18 in 2001. When I got a phone that could text and take pictures, it was amazing! Until I was charged 20 cents a text. My first smartphone was a revelation and I couldn't believe how big it was! Before that it had been a competition to get the smallest possible cellphone.
You're not a millennial.... you're Generation Z.
This reminds me of how I'm basically losing my best friend because she'd rather stay at home snapchatting people instead of going out skating, bowling, or swimming with me and our other friends. And even if she does come, she stays on snapchat instead of enjoying the activities. It's quite infuriating.
Dude that ain't right. You should try get her to go like a week or two without it for the sake of your friendship.
Accidentally lose her phone for her. And the replacement, too.
Congrats on 1 mil subscribers
I'm 16 and when I see those people I think that I'm more inteligent than average teenager.
Lol none of y'all are millennials
The battery life though last for weeks,and no matter times you accidentally drop the nokia phone it will not break .
Obligatory "congrats on 1,000,000 subscribers" video comment.
Been watching before you guys had 1 million subs, love the videos
YES people were smarter back then because we used our brains to think instead of having a phone do it for us. People today would most likely die of instant alzheimer's if they lost their phones and can't get a replacement.
When they hit the buttons on the Nokia 3310, you can hear the cellular signal buzzing in the microphone, it's a slight static sound, if you listen closely you can hear it. It's not an audible sound coming from the phone, it's electromagnetic interference that is affecting the magnet in the microphone. Works the same with speakers. I always knew when my Nokia was going to ring when I was at work because I could hear that coming through my computer speakers.
I heard it and knew there was a call being placed
My friend has at least one of those phones in the attic. I wonder how much they're worth. 😊
TheMovieMyLife not squat. not many are really worth anything
blackwater blades - Sounds about right. Maybe they can be good weapons, you know, like real bricks. 😀
If police procedurals are any indication, the Nokia bricks are still used on the daily by spies and ne're-do-wells as burn phones haha.
50¢ at a thrift shop 😂
TheMovieMyLife You have never faced the power of a bloody nokia then, you could probably use those to airbomb some people from 5 stories high and it still wouldnt leave a single bloody crack, at most a few small scratches
can anybody remember when you had to go and knock on your friends' doors to have a social life?
Do you not have modern Motorola phones in Ireland?
No, or if they are they are not popular or pushed on people, most phones pushed are Apple, Samsung and you can get HTC but everything is really not popular. If you contact the mobile phone networks to stock newly released phones they tell you there isn't enough demand to stock them even in a limited quantity.
Interesting, thanks.
Ya a few of my friends have motorola phones
Yes kiddies , T9 typing was a a bitch.
"Were people smarter back then"? 😂😂😂
Yes.
Everyday i see young people,glued to their phones almost all day,on street,in shops,cinema,school etc..
Millennials Generation were from about 1980-1995
im 19 and i can remember having some of them mashing out the infrared to get the banging tunes off your mate who paid 2 euro to get the mp3 version of the song off the back of a magazine now and your battery lasted 30days instead of 30 minutes
You aren't a Millenial at 16...
