Radio
Technology that converts electromagnetic waves into sound. Used in listening news. It is a very handy device when you want to gather information wherever you go. -
Mobile Phone
A device before the invention of Smartphones. It is a portable telephone that receives messages and calls with the use of cellular towers. Only used in messaging and calling due to the lack of features. -

Internet Explorer
The first internet browser of the world. An application which is pre-installed in windows OS. It is the first internet browser to be used in searching the vast internet. Also has slow response time, not a decent browser at that time. -
Friendster
One of the earliest social networking sites of the millennials. It was used in making friends online and chatting with your friends. It was also used in playing online games with your friends. This is a social media that still has many flaws. -
Google

Yahoo Mail
Along with Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Mail is used to send and receive electronic mail to and from other recipients. It is one of the most used email services during that time, along with AOL (i think?).... -
Mozilla Firefox
Competitor of Internet Explorer. It also serves as a web browser but more faster than the other one. -

Facebook
The number one social networking site made by Mark Zuckerberg which features sharing of photos and videos of your everyday status. Sometimes reliable and sometimes not since some people share fake information and only based on opinions. -
