Things That People Born After the Millennium Will NEVER Understand

From having to physically flick through the pages of a dictionary to find out the meaning of a word to having to travel to your local Blockbuster to rent a film, there's some things that children born after the year 2000 just can't fathom doing and Diply has perfectly captured that with its round up of hilarious scenarios that anyone born after the Millennium will struggle to understand.

The images - which capture an attempt to cram a discman into a pocket and the strains of life in the days before iPhones and Netflix - will leave anyone born pre-2000 feeling nostalgic - and anyone born later a little baffled. 


A hilarious gallery of images shows things people born after the millennium will never quite understand - like the strains of having to get off your sofa, travel to Blockbuster to rent a movie and then having to ensure you take the time to rewind the film to the start before returning it (and don't even think about missing the rental deadline if you want to avoid a fine)

Fancy a simple game of Solitaire? Half the task involved actually finding the tab to play it 


Kids today may be more accustomed to arguing with their parents but back in the day, this little guy was the source of daily squabbles
