Technology has evolved so fast that we barely have time to adapt to changes and new features and equipment that come out every day. One day, you come across a photo in which you appear with that ‘big cell phone’ and a weird hairstyle. You would think, then, that this image is at least 30 years old, but in fact, it is only 10.
O awesome.club listed 27 things that seem to have come from a time warp, but that were famous right there, in 2009. Check out the relationship we created and have a good laugh with us.
1. TV Globinho
The children’s program, aired by Globo, which lasted from 2000 to 2015, had about 95 minutes of cartoons in its programming.
2. MP3 512MB
Devices for storing music that accepted the MP3 format, as well as other formats such as WMA. They had a capacity of 512 MB or 1GB at most.
3. Novel “Caminho das Índias”
One of Globo’s biggest recent successes in the world of telenovelas. It had as protagonists the actors Juliana Paes, Rodrigo Lombardi and Márcio Garcia. Are Baba!
4. Beige tube monitor
Most computers still had beige tube monitors that yellowed over time. The turret and the keyboard were similar, all quite large and with a different shape than the ones we have today.
5. Chanel bag with chain strap
An imitation of the famous Chanel handbags that invaded department stores and street vendors. Of course most of the parts were counterfeit.
6. The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, dies
Michael died on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50.
7. Stores that only sold CDs
Before the invasion of music apps, those who enjoyed music always went to stores that sold CDs.
8. Blackberry cell phone
A very modern cell phone for the time with several functions, it was a status symbol, since not all ‘mere mortals’ could afford to have one.
9. MSN
MSN was the hit in Internet chat groups. You made friends and still had the ability to send funny faces, shiny pets and you could draw attention by shaking your friend’s screen when he left you “in a vacuum”.
10. Orkut
You may not remember, but in 2009, Orkut was still hot. The then beloved social network of Brazilians began to lose users in 2011, making room for Facebook’s dominance. As in Brazil, the other country where Orkut was successful was India. The name comes from Google Orkut Büyükkökten’s Turkish chief designer and engineer, who created the network.
11. Geisy Arruda and the controversial pink dress
The university student who became famous for being harassed at the university where she studied for having gone to class with a pink microdress. Yes, there goes 10 years.
12. Hadrian the Emperor was at his peak
One of the most talented and famous soccer players of his generation, in 2009, Adriano Imperador was at the height of both success and controversy.
13. Windows XP
The Windows XP Operating System, which appeared in 2001, was widely used until 2011, as Windows Vista had not pleased and had some flaws.
14. Sasha in “Xuxa in the mystery of Feiurinha”
Sasha Meneguel debuted in cinema as one of the protagonists of her mother’s film entitled “Xuxa em O Mistério de Feiurinha”.
15. Digital cameras
Today, any cell phone worth less than a thousand reais has a camera with good resolution, but things weren’t like that 10 years ago. Digital cameras had a real boom, starting the era of selfies. The more megapixels of resolution, the better.
16. Stefhany Absoluta from ‘Crossfox’
A clip that has been viewed numerous times by netizens. The celebrity-instant singer was known for a single song. Stefhany, the so-called Muse of Cross Fox, made this homemade video with her own resources and it was very successful.
17. Crazy Frog
The character called Crazy Frog became a famous hit worldwide after the release of the remix version, which reached number one in the UK, Ireland, Turkey, New Zealand, Australia and most of Europe. In Brazil, music was also part of TV programs.
18. The Sims 3 mobile
A game that simulated real life. It was released on multiple platforms in 2009 (including for BlackBerry) and was a huge success. Unlike previous versions, it had more functions and options for character and mood customization.
19. Paper phone book
Those over 30 certainly remember the huge and heavy lists that contained the telephone numbers of everyone who had landlines — and the work it took to find a number there if you weren’t familiar with that “bill”. It is clear that the service did not resist the evolution of Internet search engines, especially Google.
20. Xuxa’s Laptop
It was a battery-powered electronic toy that had basic functions to simulate a real computer, made for children from 5 to 7 years old.
21. Maísa’s debut on the program “Sábado Animado”
Anyone who sees Maísa today as a beautiful woman almost cannot remember the smiling girl full of curls who, in 2009, debuted on SBT’s Saturday Animated Children’s Program.
22. Internet Explorer
The browser was the most modern and fastest we had 10 years ago. Today, it has more robust and faster competitors and few people use it.
23. Rental and DVD player
At a time when Netflix did not exist and cable TV fees were very expensive, DVDs and playback devices were the latest. They had replaced the VCR and VHS tapes. The pinnacle of technology at the time, but now completely abandoned.
24. Balloon Skirt
This skirt was a hit in the 80s and came back with everything in 2009.
25. Download music with E-Mule
When music apps didn’t exist in our lives, that’s how we downloaded and listened to the biggest hits.
26. Payphone and phone card
At a time when cell phone rates were very high, payphones were the option for communicating. We still had to buy plastic cards with credits.
27. Movie “Avatar”
An American film that was released in 2009 and had one of the highest grossing in cinema (2.8 billion dollars), second only to the film “Avengers: Endgame”, with the difference of just over 6 million spectators.
