You look back just a few years ago and think, “Remember when mobile games weren’t even

Ah, yes – headphone jacks and home buttons – those were the days!”

(Just wait until you see what the future has in store!)

But for now, check out some past vs. present…

– Power banks Nobody needed a power bank 10 years ago, and

It took forever to juice up the simpler batteries of the day, and the thing had just 1 connector.

Granted, the push-button phones of the time could stay charged all day since we didn’t

use them as much and for such big tasks as we do these days.

Now, power banks are common since we need to charge our mega powerful phones on the

You still have to charge the power bank before you leave the house.

But it beats being stuck without a phone because your battery ran out!

(By the way, the power banks of yesteryear would only be able to charge a modern phone

Take two tablets and call me in the morning.”c Talk about yesteryear, when you could actually

When the first iPad came out, you couldn’t really do much with it.

Internet surfing was slow and not very convenient because of the small RAM and single-core processor.

You needed to connect the device to a computer to update the software and transfer content

Now, the iPad and other tablets are full-fledged mini-computers.

You can already connect a mouse, keyboard, and gamepad to them.

You can display two apps on one screen, open full desktop versions of sites, play games

with console-worthy graphics, and, well, I’m sure you know what they do!

– E-readers In the early 2010s, switching paper books

for electronic ones was a trend on the rise.

But this reading-of-the-future started out on computer and phone screens – inconvenient,

Their main perk is that they don't reflect light, making it easier on the eyes.

That, and the battery can last for weeks!

Over time, backlighting for night reading appeared, and the screen and speed have also

It seems like an ideal book, but, surprisingly, paper editions have started gaining popularity

Even with so much tech around us, sometimes you just want a good ol’ fashioned book!

– Phones With such a low screen resolution 10 years

ago, you couldn't watch movies or videos on your phone for long.

Early smartphones didn’t have front-facing cameras, which meant you had to guess if your

(It usually wasn’t for the first 5 tries!)

All music was downloaded through a computer or transmitted via Bluetooth, and a game with

Mobile Internet wasn't so common either – if you did have it, it moved at a snail’s pace.

Now, modern phones are practically useless without mobile Internet.

Cloud services mean you’ve got pretty much endless memory.

Displays have become larger, and you can easily go without a TV if you have a newer-model

The cameras have become so cool that you can shoot movies, panoramas, and, yes, perfectly

But the main change affected the appearance.

Smartphones are thinner, lighter, and more elegant now.

Every inch on the phone has become important.

Because of this, modern phones refuse space-wasters like home buttons.

Headphone jack ports are also disappearing for the sake of increased battery life.

…And for wireless headphones sales of course!

– Headphones 10 years ago, Bluetooth headphones were a

small wire that could be hung around the neck.

It had a mini remote with buttons to switch songs and change the volume.

The headphone's energy was enough for 1-3 hours of continuous listening.

Modern technologies mean getting rid of analog mechanisms and switching to wireless.

The battery lifespan has increased, and charging cases have appeared.

We have touch and "smart" controls on the headphones instead of analog remote control.

A smart noise reduction system means better quality sound streaming into our ears!

– Gaming laptops We might’ve gone from a 4- to an 8-core

processor and are now enjoying much better graphics – but the appearance and price

They’re still bulky, heavy, expensive, and give you about two hours of battery life.

But now, a new type has appeared – portable gaming laptops.

They weren’t around at all 10 years ago.

They launch games on high graphic settings, and the battery life has doubled.

– Portable consoles In the early 2010s, PSPs were the thing.

You could play 3-4 hours without recharging, enjoy 3D graphics, convenient controls, a

large screen, and an affordable price – any teenager’s dream!

However, their popularity fell quickly...

Because phones began to support the same graphics!

Don’t worry though – PSPs came back with a vengeance when the Nintendo Switch was released.

It can compete with those impeccable smartphone graphics!

– Watching movies First, DVDs replaced VHS in the early 2000s.

So we switched to DVD and threw away the VHS.

But it was a short-lived victory since the disc soon found itself competing with the
