1. Floppy Disk
While many people were flexing with their CDs and USB Thumb drives as their personal memory keys, the Floppy disk we had long before was something special.
In the mid-70s till the early 2000s, The floppy disk was very successful to be used for transferring files between old computers. They also have write protection which protects your data from accidental deletion. Later, as the demand for storage memory rises with the advent of laptops and computers, Floppy disks no longer support it as it takes time to transfer data.
The floppy disk shown in the picture is known as the first versions of Windows 95 were shipped on 21 floppy disks. Microsoft then tried to reduce the number of floppies and later shipped it on 13 DMF disks with 1.68MB storage capacity. If you wanted to install Windows 10 from a diskette, for example, you would need 2,778 disks.

2. Nokia phones
No one could ever forget the Nokia nowadays even there are many advanced phones and smartphones such as Apple, Samsung, and so on. Nokia ruled the world of technology with its unbeatable battery health, durability, and snake games.
We can keep talking about Nokia's quality which phones these days cant produce. You blend the phone? hit it with hammers ? or used as a hammer to beat up a smartphone? , and dropped 1,500 feet? nothing would happen. Nokia won't disappoint us. Even Thor chose Nokia as his next Mjolnir.
Over time, the unsustainable growth rate, loss of agility, and lack of visionary leadership have resulted in Nokia's strategic failure as a company. Ever since Microsoft decided to change the name of its flagship Nokia Lumia, Nokia is nearly no more. The company purchased Nokia’s mobile phone division and intends to drop the Nokia brand from its high-end Windows Phones entirely.
The Nokia's lasting legacy is undoubtedly its custom ringtones and game selections. Waiting for someone to call us when the customed ringtone is set to, the happiness cant be measured. Next, the iconic snake game pushed the rank in a way that argues paved the way for mobile gaming as we know it today.

3. VHS ( Video recording cassettes)

VHS tapes are superior as that you only need one copy of a video to spread it around. Also, you can share stuff through cellular telephones.
The discovery of new television has become mandated by tech, rather than the people using tech to organically mandate their own television choices.
VHS also boosts our social experience by sharing TV and movies. The 90s would never forget those days of spending time at their friend's house watching Disney movies and cartoons. The presence of VHS tapes, made us watch that odd show together, grow closer as a result.
4. Photography Camera
90s kids were a mixture of Technology and nature enthusiasts. We love old things, and when it comes to cameras you can’t beat the classics. Cameras of the past were simpler to operate, more fun to shoot, and just plain looked better. But most of the timeless cameras we all love hail from the mid-1980s or earlier.
The Yashica MG-1 is considered to be the last member of Yashica's rangefinder camera line, and one of the gold products before the so-called Plastic Age. It's a fixed-lens 35 mm rangefinder camera equipped with a Yashinon f/2.8 45 mm lens and aperture-priority automatic exposure. The exposure system is run by a CdS meter (powered by one 5.6V mercury battery or equivalent placed above the lens.
This heavy camera is very easy to use compared to other cameras introduced in those eras. Still, some don’t mind the weight for the sense of solidity the camera gives. Talking about the film, its speed is set by holding and moving a small lever on the bottom of the lens. Available speeds are from 25 to 800 and these can be adjusted in half increments. Once your film speed is set all that remains is to choose your aperture said by some professional photographers.
Early 90s favorite tech had nothing to do with it but It was that people cared a great deal more about music and sound quality in general. The era of rewinding them while listening to other tapes could turn out to be a nuisance, but the experiences are calm and priceless. Tape cassette is an analog magnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback.
They were more convenient than what went before and you had to take care of how you stored them, played them, and who you lent them to. Since there was a great deal more variation in sound quality between various analog sources, great concern was placed on the quality of one’s stereo equipment.
These tapes lost their market as the technology develops after years since they are low in quality but being pushed a trend since record players are now mainstream. compared to now, the sound quality of cassette is pretty bad compared to reel-to-reel and vinyl. Roughly equivalent to MP3s.

6. Telephone
The push-button telephone is a telephone that has buttons or keys for dialing a telephone number, in contrast to having a rotary dial as in earlier telephone instruments.
Girls love to gossip and the era waiting for someone's call. We had a contact address book and will look for a person's contact in alphabetic order back then. Whereby today, it's all done in a fraction of a second. Since there wasn't any screen displayed that doesn't give any information about the caller, asking "Hello, Who's this" boosts another level of confidence.

Button telephones lost their popularity in the late 90s with the advent of handphones. Having telephones at home was still considered rich. The button telephones were so popular that telephones used the same basic design for many years and also introduced many designs such, touch screen telephones and digital screen which many consider the spiritual successor to the telcos.
