download time hub today to get your
fresh daily dose of nostalgia how did we
ever survive without them welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 things we
didn’t have 10 years ago that we can’t
live without now Hoover gives me the
space to pursue my dreams
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at a
variety of technologies and modern
concepts that didn’t exist in their
current form ten years ago but over the
last decade or so have worked their way
into the very fabric of our daily lives
there are sections for feature newly
released specials and sales you’ll even
get those handy sales and new game
alerts in your notification section
number 10 the cloud what is the cloud
anyway nobody understands the cloud it’s
a mystery
sure ten years ago most of us were
connected to the Internet but our files
were generally stored on our PC if your
computer suddenly stopped working or
acted strangely there was a high risk of
you losing your files the cloud in its
many popular forms like Dropbox Google
Drive and Microsoft onedrive enables
users to upload content to remote
servers where it can be shared with
friends accessed from any device and
most importantly protected should your
computer stop functioning the clouds are
so pretty that’s not just a cloud honey
that’s Google actual cloud platform it’s
also great for companies allowing them
to access shared drives efficiently both
within a single office and around the
globe talk about a game changer number
nine dankmemes every election throws up
something new and this one has thrown up
something called a dank meme sure a
decade ago we had the likes of Leroy
Jenkins and the Sparta kick from hell
but without YouTube or social media only
a few memes truly ruled the Internet
these days we have more than we know
what to do with the website know your
meme calm has thousands of memes
catalogued and yes most of them are dank
a dank meme is one that’s intentionally
bad or bizarre an ironic expression used
– mock online viral media and in jokes
that have exhausted their comedic value
from images to clips to vines we are
constantly being bombarded by the stank
Ness while the memes of the past were
indeed classics it’s the meme culture of
today you know it’s nuanced
ever-evolving self referential glory
that we couldn’t live without number
eight Twitter sitting next to me is Evan
Williams the co-founder of Twitter can
you believe all this tweedly-dee stuff
going on while the website was founded
in 2006
it wasn’t until Twitter launched its
mobile app that it really took flight
since then it’s not only become a
leading social media platform with which
to stay connected it’s also been
instrumental in movements like the Arab
Spring and Occupy Wall Street as a means
of communicating breaking news and
up-to-the-minute developments more
efficiently than traditional media no
need for long articles just post a
headline or image and watch it spread
the app has equally been embraced by
companies as a marketing tool and
celebrities as a way to connect with
fans who knew 140 characters could have
such an impact number 7 tinder face face
weird picture square head tinder has
been the subject of some criticism as a
result of its place in hookup culture
but when you think of the old
alternatives this app might be young but
in its short lifespan it has radically
changed the dating world circumventing
most of the awkwardness associated with
friends owning and inopportune crushes
the app allows you to swipe right on any
user in your area who you find
attractive if that individual feels the
same way you are matched and you can
start communicating is it a perfect
system
no so are we married now is that how
this works
yeah me and you and my roommate Lindsey
who you sent the exact same message to
but being able to go through hundreds of
people’s picks sure beats spending hours
at the bar or Club to meet just one
person and still getting rejected it’s a
match yes number six Facebook all right
here’s my question how many of you are
on Facebook a lot of you on Facebook
sure it has been around for over a
decade but it wasn’t until 2006
restrictions were lifted making it so
anyone could join since then Facebook
has grown to become V top social media
website making its creator Mark
Zuckerberg one of the richest people in
the world before Facebook it was a lot
tougher to keep in contact with old
friends unless that is you used myspace
but based on its relatively diminished
user base it seems people can live
without that one-time Facebook
competitor while Facebook has had its
share of privacy and security issues
it’s currently ranked as the third most
visited web site and is a constant
presence in the lives of many people
around the world number 5 HD magnify
that death-sphere
why is it still blurry that’s all the
resolution we have making it bigger
doesn’t make it clearer the history of
video is seemingly marked by one
technological marvel after another when
the Lumiere brothers first showed their
footage of a train arriving in 1895 the
crowd unfamiliar with video allegedly
panicked imagine how they would have
reacted to modern film over the last 10
years video quality has taken multiple
big steps from 720p to 1080p from 1080p
to ultra definition at 4k and higher
we’ve taken our television experience to
the next level the immersive hyper
realistic worlds presented in modern
video games could not exist without it
while old CRT televisions certainly have
a quaint retro vibe to them there aren’t
many people who would willingly return
to pre HD technology number 4 online
streaming services you’re watching the
thing oh that’s fun on Netflix or Hulu
on your xbox uh-huh
remember TV in the 90s a limited
selection of channels and time slots
that forced us to watch a series on the
broadcaster schedule rather than our own
well the past 10 years have completely
reshaped how we consume television
Netflix began offering media streaming
services in 2007 and in doing so started
a revolution suddenly viewers could
watch what they wanted when they wanted
Netflix reigned supreme but it’s no
longer alone with sites like crackle
Hulu Amazon and specific networks like
HBO and Showtime getting in on the
action hey guys
oh hey I hope you don’t mind I invited
Senor chain we’re Netflix friends the
ability to stream content to your TV
with casting devices has only made
streaming more attractive it’s little
wonder why people have been ditching
cable and satellite number three
uber we’ve all had unpleasant taxi rides
before whether it was thanks to a rude
driver or payment problems officially
hitting the streets across the u.s. in
2011 uber presented a much needed
alternative bringing with it driver
reviews online payment and generally
lower fares the service has
fundamentally rocked the industry while
it’s not legal everywhere yet it’s clear
that the young company is on the road to
omnipresence the word uber has even
joined the likes of Google and Wikipedia
in becoming a commonly used verb while
its faced criticism for some of its
business practices it seems that the
average passenger is willing to overlook
the controversy for the sake of avoiding
the hit or miss experience of a
conventional taxi number two map apps
back in the day if you wanted to go
anywhere unfamiliar you’d have to get a
printout from MapQuest or perish the
thought
use a conventional road map some cars
had GPS installed but it was a luxury in
2008 Google came out with the Google
Maps app which could be used on Android
devices using GPS it was a vast
improvement on MapQuest which could only
give one destination at a time and was
far safer than those unwieldy paper maps
an added bonus is seeing all that crazy
stuff with satellite view nowadays Apple
maps and Google Maps are the leading
options where would we be without these
apps well we’d be lost well that’s the
magic of Google Maps before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
number one smartphones they call them
smartphones but only dummies use them in
my class yep the one portable device
that includes Twitter Facebook tinder
uber and every other entry on our list
these little computers give you access
to all of the above and so much more
offering an endless variety of apps for
gaming fitness entertainment
productivity and beyond smartphones have
certainly earned a place in our lives
futuristic ten years ago Nokia flip
phones were still the norm and while
they were revolutionary at the time such
devices feel archaic by today’s
standards as of January 2016
smartphones had over 79 percent of the
cell phone market with such
groundbreaking innovation in just 10
years we can’t wait to see how far
smartphones go in the decade to come
