Before WiFi

BeforeWiFi documents life before smartphones and WiFi transformed how we live, work, and connect. This channel explores the technology, gadgets, and cultural moments from 1990-2010, the transitional era between analog and digital.

From dial-up internet and early chat rooms to portable CD players and VHS rentals, we're not just reminiscing. We're analyzing what made these technologies meaningful and what we sacrificed when convenience replaced ownership, algorithms replaced curation, and constant connectivity replaced boundaries.

Our audience: millennials and Gen X who remember life before smartphones, who owned their music collections, who went offline every night, and who understand that "progress" isn't always improvement.

New videos weekly covering 90s and 2000s nostalgia, gadgets that vanished, how we lived before streaming, and lost retailers and cultural experiences.
