“Unlock Your Nostalgia: 10 Mind-Blowing ’80s Trends That Will Make You Question Your Childhood!”
Having to wait several minutes for pages to load has made ’80s children exceptionally patient with technology. If the browser freezes, they can wait without having a meltdown. You could even say they enjoy the unexpected moment to reflect on their life.
Teddy Ruxpin Was Life
When Teddy Ruxpin was introduced to the world in 1985, the lives of children everywhere were changed forever. The electronic bear would read stories to youngsters with cassette tapes that parents would spend hundreds of dollars on.
For the first two years of its existence, Teddy Ruxpin was the best selling toy in the United States. Seriously, though, what kid wouldn’t want to having a talking bear as a toy? These days, you could probably have a conversation with the bear, but in the ’80s, just seeing it talk was enough.
Nintendo Took Over The World
In the ’80s, 8-bit games were king and Nintendo was the kingmaker. The Nintendo Entertainment System redefined video games for children. You no longer had to go to the arcade and spend quarter after quarter just to beat Donkey Kong.
With the NES, you could play all your favorites at home. Even today, the original Super Mario Brothers is remembered as one of the all-time great games. The bottom line is that without the original NES, video games might never have become a billion dollar industry.
