26 Obsolete Things That Were Once Very Important

    BBC Radio 1 is moving its weekly chart rundown from Sundays to Fridays after 50 years. But the charts are just one of the many things that young people these days don't even realise are important.

    1. Having an instant knowledge of who's No. 1 in the charts.

    This was the UK top 10 in March 1995, back when people actually cared. Also: 1995 had some bad music.

    2. Having a massive wallet full of CDs.

    3. Having a cool hotmail address.

    Who wants to hear my old email address from year 7? xxginger_babexx@hotmail.com LMFAO.
