We had a rotary phone growing up, people's hair was big and their shoulders were padded. People cringed when their house had an avocado bath suite.

Computer class had modules on (MS-)DOS, Lotus 123, Wordstar, and GW-BASIC. The succeeding years, we were taught Turbo Basic, Turbo Pascal, and Turbo C. In the final year, we had HTML and CSS.

There's a region in my brain still devoted to a few Wordstar keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+KC, ctrl+KK, ctrl+Y) but it's degraded enough that I couldn't remember what they're for.

Oh, Tetris on handhelds was the craze when I was in primary school. They were called by a different name though (copyright reasons, perhaps) but the generic name was "Brick Game".

EDIT:

Typos, missing punctuation and other mistakes.
