I see plenty of articles/forum posts/videos/etc.. asking or talking about things from yesteryear that the "kids these days" are missing out on , but I would like to ask pretty much the opposite . Are there any trends , inventions , innovations ,media , etc ... that you know a kids/teenage version of you would have been all about ?
-For me (and I know this is kind of a broad answer) it would the the internet as it is know , because I could only imagine back in middle school having such easy access to high speed internet and all the sites that come with it youtube/wwe network/etc... would have filled up my time back then.

Me and my buddies would have run amok with it.

Better internet, probably Gundam stuff(a lot of it WAS already around, but not really accessible in the US outside of a few scattered things), Adventure Time, and some other stuff.

Using the internet for more than an hour and not worrying about the bill. Youtube, Wikipedia

The technology is a given.
The con scene is a major one. It's grown so much, and much easier to find info about. Plus there's something for all types of fans.

Marvel comics movies. My childhood self would have been on cloud 9. Yeah, all I had back then was the x men and spiderman animated series, would've been so happy to see the avengers when I was 6. I'm still bummed that I couldn't see Blade, the first good marvel movie, because I wasn't old enough...man kids these days don't know how lucky they are, better movies, better video games. I remember playing a ps1 fantastic four game, it wasn't pretty.

I'm not sure if this counts but I'd have LOVED the special edition re-releases of certain artists nowadays instead of buying a worn out used tape/having a hand me down to play on an old Walkman knock off as a kid.
I'm pretty much entertained by music all the time so yeah, everything else but with better forms of music, and not needing to scrape together pennies to buy singles from Woolworths and junk as a kid would have been cool.

WWE Network. There was a time when I would have watched the hell out of that, that time has passed.
Otherwise: the internet, specifically wikipedia and google. How come everyone in school isn't getting A's on everything!?

Shitty deathcore bands(which is a pretty redundant phrase). A young 17 year old old me would have ate it up like crazy..

All these damn comic book movies. I wanted more than just the Spider-Man and Batman movies damnit!
WWE Network would have blown my mind at 10 years old, hell it still blows my mind now.
YouTube would have been amazing as well, I'd pretty much use it just to find Simpsons clips up the wazoo.
