Technology

Technology was just beginning to boom and make its way into more households with more personal devices being released.

As a new generation of users grew up, the need for better data transmissions became evident, and so 3G was born, bringing on an onslaught of new mobile phones including the Sidekick, Motorola Razr, and Blackberry were all the rage. These early-generation smartphones had limited capabilities at the time in an age before apps, but got the job done when it came to setting the hottest ringtones for your phone and sending texts to your friends.

In other personal device news, the original iBook personal computers by Apple which launched in 1999 were the way to get work done. With their colorful clamshell design and ability to work ANYWHERE, these computers (above) were unmistakabley unique.

And we can’t forget about the way we listened to music! In an age where CD’s still reigned supreme, a CD-Walkman by Sony was the way to listen to your favorite new CD on-the-go. Inevitably, as technology changed the need for these faded away, but we’ll always have the memories!

Style

What was originally custom designed by Juicy Couture for Madonna took off like wildfire and spread into the closets of celebrities and teen girls across the country. Their line of velour (and eventually other materials) tracksuits were insanely popular. The brighter, the better!

As for other fashion statements, favorites of the early 2000s included: polo shirts (again, bright colors were IN), butterfly clips in your hair (a trend that carried over from the 90s), platform flip-flops and slide-on slippers, and of course low-rise denim. And of course, how could we forget the classic UGG Boots!

If these colorful trends weren’t really your thing, perhaps you shopped at Hot Topic or Spencer’s Gifts?
