Kids these days have got it so easy – especially when it comes to technology. They are part of the digital generation and are surrounded by technology and the internet and they are using smartphones, tablets, e-readers and computers every day.

But back in the day, if your're older than 15, then you'll probably remember a world where none of this existed, and certain things were…well a stuggle. So here's a trip down memory lane. Lets look at some of the things we used to struggle with. Once you've had a giggle at some of these, you might never take present day technology for granted ever again!

1. Remember in 2006 when you accidentally hit the internet button on your flip phone and then you had to press end 40 times to keep your parents from paying for such a luxury? (manuxinhace.tumblr.com)
