I hear all the time that the 90's were such a simpler, peaceful time, especially compared to now. I have to laugh at this, because back during the

actual 90's people talked about how awful the 90's were and how much simpler things were in the 60's and 70's. As I recall there was a lot more crime in the 90's. School shootings started happening. There was very little discipline in the homes, at least according to teachers. The "everybody is disposable" attitude became the norm within most companies. In fact things really started going south in the 90's. They are absolutely right about one thing though, life was very affordable and affluent as far as money goes. I remember the 90's and early 2000's as being a very cushy time to live in as far as money and material things go.

There was no Internet. That is one good thing.

There was also still the belief that society would improve.

@SW-User The Internet came in the mid 90s but it was just starting out. It wasn't the all consuming thing it is now. I love the Internet though. It's mostly a good thing in these modern day times. 😎

@Cloud7593 it increased our workload dramatically.I used to clear my inbox when I went home from work. There were about thirty messages waiting for me when I went back to work. I cleared them, but by break there were over fifty. Ok most were junk, but you still had to clear them.
