In terms of television, back in 2000 it was rare to have more than the standard five channels, yet today satellite boxes can give you hundreds of channels to watch, perhaps even too many to choose from! There is also the option to catch up on the programmes that you’ve missed from the broadcaster’s on demand services – meaning you don’t have to program your VHS player to record your favourite programmes while you are out. Interestingly enough, Netflix initially started as a DVD rental service, and didn’t introduce streaming services until 2010! Today, streaming sites such as Netflix are the most popular way of watching films and TV shows, and it’s a rarity for people to purchase physical copies of films. Around 2002, VHS tapes decreased in popularity as people switched to DVD’s due to their higher quality, and by 2008, VHS tapes were practically obsolete. I n the early 2000s VHS tapes were ever popular as a way to watch films that you had bought, or to record programmes that you were going to miss, as there was no catch up function on televisions back then. Today, touch screens are the norm and physical keyboards are somewhat of a rarity! Compared to the 47% of households that had mobiles in 2000, in 2018 this figure had more than doubled to 95%.

Instead, Blackberrys were popular due to their physical keyboard with singular letters, email function and instant messaging system ‘BBM’. The first iPhone was released in 2007, however, iPhones weren’t immediately popular like they are today. The models that were released between 19 brought about the first ever customisable ringtones, appearances and games, with the first ‘smartphones’ beginning to appear between 20 as they enabled GPS.įlip phones were extremely popular throughout the 2000s, with Samsung being the most notable brand. It was Nokia and Motorola that dominated the market throughout the 90s and early 2000s.

It’s hard to imagine a world where our phones didn’t have cameras, but camera phones didn’t actually start appearing until the 2000s. Nowadays, everyone has a mobile phone in their pocket, but it’s no longer just a mobile phone! Today, mobiles have internet access, high definition cameras, gaming capabilities, music storage and a whole host of apps, from ordering a taxi to finding a date in minutes. According to a study by The Office for National Statistics (UK), in 2000, only 47% of households in the UK had a mobile phone, and unlike the ones we own today, they were very limited on what they could do, mostly restricted to SMS texting and calling. Today, your mobile phone is likely never more than an arm’s reach away, but 20 years ago things were quite different.
