From the perspective of plans, storage, uptime etc I think no real differentiator exists among these options. Dropbox has less free storage, but it is easy to get more by referral etc. Also the paid plans are almost equivalent. And policy wise also they are same (like they'd control the content if they so wish). So, from an end user perspective, integration with other applications (both from desktop and mobile) will make the difference. With gdrive, all other google apps will support it (if not already). E.g. gmail, youtube, google+, keep, google app engine, blogger, play uploads. Also any photo taken by mobile, automatically can go to gdrive for backup. Dropbox can do the latter, also alongwith Microsoft Onedrive/skydrive they have Windows explorer integration so those drives appear as a mapped network drive to you. So if you use files as files, maybe dropbox kind of solution would be easier, but if your files are photos/videos that you want to share using other apps (email/blog...) maybe google drives is a better choice.

yes and here it is :To learn more about the many forms of resumes used online, see our accompanying article, Your E-resume’s File Format Aligns with its Delivery Method. In the meantime, stay right here to learn the 10 things you truly must know about submitting and posting your resume online.1. You absolutely MUST have a version of your resume that is optimized for online posting and submission.A job-seeker simply cannot succeed these days with just the traditional formatted resume intended to be printed out as a visually pleasing marketing piece. The formatted “print” resume is still important, but it can no longer be the only resume tool in your kit.More than 90 percent of employers place resumes directly into searchable databases and an equal percentage of employers prefer to receive resumes by e-mail. More than 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies post jobs on their own Web sites — and expect job-seekers to respond electronically. Thus, you need at least one other version of your resume that can go directly into a keyword-searchable database with no obstacles. Formatting that needs to be removed before the resume can be placed in a database is an example of such an obstacle.Sending your resume in text-based format directly in the body of an e-mail message removes all barriers to an employer’s placing your resume right into a searchable databases. Some employers still prefer the formatted document version of your resume attached to an e-mail message (so they have the option to print it out, for example), while others won’t open attachments because of concerns about viruses and incompatibilities among word-processing programs.The formatted “print” resume is still vital because the employer may wish to visually review your resume, especially once the database search has narrowed down the candidates, and the formatted, print version will be more reader-friendly than the text-based version. You’ll also want to have a print version of your resume on hand for networking, to take to interviews and career fairs and for the rare occasions when employers request resumes in old-school ways — by mail or fax.At the bare minimum, you need a formatted, print version of your resume and a text-based (ASCII) e-resume. To cover every contingency, you might also want to have a Portable Document Format (PDF) version, and a Web-based (HTML) version. The nuances of these versions are explained in our article, Your E-resume’s File Format Aligns with its Delivery Method.2. Your resume must be loaded with keywords.Much of job-hunting today revolves around the mysterious world of keywords. Employers’ dependence on keywords to find the job candidates they want to interview has come about in recent years because of technology. Inundated by resumes from job-seekers, employers have increasingly relied on placing resumes in keyword-searchable databases, and using software to search those databases for specific keywords that relate to job vacancies. Most Fortune 1000 companies, in fact, and many smaller companies now use these technologies. In addition, most employers search the databases of third-party job-posting and resume-posting boards on the Internet.The bottom line is that if you apply for a job with a company that searches databases for keywords, and your resume doesn’t have the keywords the company seeks for the person who fills that job, you are pretty much out of luck. Read more about the importance of keywords in our article Tapping the Power of Keywords to Enhance Your Resume’s Effectiveness and how you can identify the best keywords in Resources for Identifying Keywords and Researching Keywords in Employment Ads. Consider using our Resume Keywords Worksheet.3. Your resume must be accomplishments-driven.Accomplishments are the points that really help sell you to an employer — much more so than everyday job duties. In fact, there’s a direct relationship between keywords and accomplishments in that keywords can be tied to accomplishments rather than job duties, so a good way to make the leap from keyword to a nice, contextual bullet point is to take each keyword you’ve identified as critical to the job and list an accomplishment that tells how you’ve used the skill represented by that keyword. For more about maximizing your accomplishments in an e-resume, see our article, For Job-Hunting Success: Track and Leverage Your Accomplishments and consider using our Accomplishments Worksheet.4. Technically speaking, a resume for online posting and submission is not too difficult to create.It’s surprisingly easy to create an e-resume once you get the hang of it. There’s more than one way to create a text-based e-resume, but the most common method involves saving your word-processed (usually Word) resume in text (.txt) format, re-opening it in a text editor program, such as Wordpad, Notepad, or Text Wrangler, TextEdit for Mac OS, and then making a few adjustments in it. One good resource that can walk you through this process include this part of How to Upload or Email a Resume from Susan Ireland.Even a Web-based HTML resume is not that hard to craft. Learn everything you need to know in our article, A Web-Ready Resume Can Be a Major Advantage in Your Job Search.For basics on creating other forms of e-resumes, such PDF, see our article, Your E-Resume’s File Format Aligns with its Delivery Method.5. Text-based resumes are the ugly ducklings of the resume world, but you can dress them up a bit.Job-seekers and resume writers have strived for years to develop ways to make resumes visually appealing and graphically interesting — through font choices, bold and italic type, rule lines, bullets, centering, indents, and more — only to have all that formatting thrown out the window in the e-resume world. Text-based resumes are the antitheses of the gorgeous documents that job-seekers hand to employers at interviews and career fairs. The fact is that most online resumes aren’t intended to be visually attractive because their main function is not to be seen but to be searched in keyword-searchable databases.Still, they may be seen at some point. Employers may see the resume you’ve posted on an online job board. Their primary interest is whether the content of your resume (indicated largely by keywords) shows you to be qualified for the opening you’ve applied for and/or for which the employer is searching the database. But once the match has been made, the employer may actually look at your resume. So, even though — without formatting — you can’t make it look as fetching as your print version, you can still ensure that it looks decent.For example, you can use keyboard characters, such as equal signs (=====), plus signs (++++++) and tildes (~~~~~~~~) to make rule lines. You can use asterisks (*****), hyphens (—–), lower-case letter o’s (ooooo), and carats (>>>>>) to make bullets. You can use UPPER CASE for emphasis in headings. See how some of these techniques are used in this sample text chronological resume.Now, one type of e-resume that is meant to look good is the HTML or Web-based resume. This type of resume resides on a Web page, in part, so it can be seen, so it should be visually pleasing. While it’s not too difficult to make an HTML resume look attractive, the more you know about Web design, the better you can make the resume look. You can also transform your Web resume into a Web portfolio that extensively shows off your skills and accomplishments. If you’re not confident of your skills, you might want to enlist a Web designer or resume writer in this process. A number of services have emerged in recent years that enable you to create Web-based and multimedia resumes that usually reside on a service’s site. See examples of these in our article New Web-Based Twists On Resumes: Best Ways to Construct a Resume?Check out these samples of Web-based resumes.6. Text resumes are highly versatile.Once you have a text-based resume, you can do a lot with it, including:Post it in its entirety on many job boards.Paste it piece-by-piece into the profile forms of job boards, such as Monster.com, that have a rigid setup and don’t allow resumes to be posted as is.Paste it into the body of an e-mail and send it to employers.Convert it to a Web-based HTML resume.7. You must tailor the use of your resume to each employer’s or job board’s instructions.As you might have guessed from what you’ve read so far in this article, there is no universally accepted way to submit your e-resume to an employer. Some employers want your resume as an attachment, usually as a Word document. Others want your resume as text pasted into the body of an e-mail message. Still others want you to paste your resume into an online form.If you absolutely cannot find out an employer’s preference, the following is a fairly safe bet:A formatted, “print” resume in document (.doc because some older versions of Word cannot open .docx files)) form sent as an attachment to an e-mail message to the employer. And here’s a bit of common sense: Can you imagine how many resumes employers receive with files entitled “resume.doc”? Use your name as part of the file name for your resume. Example: JaySmithResume.doc.A text-based e-resume stripped of most formatting and pasted directly into the same e-mail message into which your print resume is attached. Since the employer has this text-based resume, he or she can choose whether or not to open the attached version, based on compatibility, virus protection, and company policy on opening attachments. For a truly complete e-mailable, electronic package, add a text-based cover letter stripped of formatting and pasted directly into the same e-mail message into which your print resume is attached. Pat Kendall and Susan Whitcomb note in a book about online resumes that your cover letter can contain verbiage that points out the options you’re providing: “I have attached an MS Word version of my resume, as well as pasted a plain-text version below. (If the plain-text version is sufficient for your database, it is not necessary to download the formatted attachment.)”The same lack of universality goes for job boards. Some enable you to paste your resume into a form in any format, but the board automatically converts it to text. Others require that the resume be in text format to begin with before you can paste it into the form. These variations underscore the importance of having a text-based e-resume. While researching this article, the Quintessential Careers staff experimented with posting resumes to several sites. We learned that a text-based e-resume is not only vital for boards with a text-resume requirement — but also extremely helpful when the boards convert any resume to text. Just because a job board turns your resume into text doesn’t mean it will look decent; it’s better to have a text resume to begin with so you know it will look appropriate when pasted in.Also note that some job boards/employers limit the number of words or the size of the file that you can paste into any one field.8. Take advantage of job-board features to protect yourself and get the most out of posting your e-resume on the boards.Most reputable job boards have features that enable you to protect your own privacy and confidentiality, control who sees your resume, mask the identity if your current employer (so your employer doesn’t know you’re looking), and easily edit and delete your resume or change it from active to inactive.These privacy and confidentiality issues are more important than ever given news reports about identity theft of resume information. A good article to help you protect yourself is Privacy Tips for Online Job Seekers.Many boards also enable you to create multiple profiles for yourself so you can look for various types of jobs. Some permit you to submit a list of your top skills. Resume submission forms generally have questions in addition to a place to submit the actual resume. Some questions are mandatory; others are optional. When a question is optional, consider whether it is to your advantage to answer it. Answering questions about salary or location requirements, for example, may be too limiting.9. A few finishing touches can increase your e-resume’s effectiveness.Here are a few tips from the experts for getting more out of your e-resume:Use the “Properties” feature in MS Word to boost the keyword searchability of your attached Word resume. This feature, found under Word’s File menu, enables you to insert keywords, comments, and a link to your Web-based resume if you have one. You can use the “Comments” field to enter geographic and relocation preferences.A similar trick applies to using HTML commands called meta tags in creating a Web-based resume. The “description” command, for example, gives you up to 150 characters to provide a description of your document. Make sure you use words that highlight your e perience and skills. The “keywords” command gives you limited spa e to enter critical eywords. Be sure to use keywords that you think employers and recruiters might use in searching for the position you are seeking — and make sure those keywords are also listed at least once (perhaps in a “key accomplishments” section) in your resume.

Thanks for A2A.This is going to be a long story, but you asked for details, right?Let's take it from the top, shall we? This is going to be fun, I promise!In the beginning, there was something called the PC (Personal Computer). This was the first computer that a user can buy for their personal use at home. This was created by a huge company called IBM.IBM was in the computer business for a very long time, but the PC was a new idea they invented in the early 80s. They needed an Operating System to run it, so (after a long story), they called Microsoft and made an agreement to use MS DOS as the OS for their PC.Meanwhile, in a small garage somewhere else, two teenagers, both named Steve, were playing around, trying to invent their own computer. One of them was a genius (not the one you see in the media), so he designed and built the whole system, then wrote all the software for it (told ya: genius). They called this system the Macintosh and started a company called Apple to sell it.Let’s forget all the above, and go to a big telecommunications company at the time called Bell labs (later known as AT&T), in 1969. Two guys named Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie decided to make an operating system of their own, based on a failed OS project named MULTICS (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service), it failed in the essence that it never became a mainstream OS, but the ideas invented in MULTICS are largely used today by many OSes. Any how, K&D made their OS, called it UNICS, playing on the “Multiplexed” part of the name. They later changed it to become UNIX, a much cooler way to write the name.UNIX ran on a raggedly old computer K&D found laying around Bell labs, called PDP-11 (Edit: Actually it was PDP-7 as Jesse Pollard pointed in a comment). They wanted to port this OS to other platforms, so in the early 70’s, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie invented the C programming language (known as K&R C).Bell labs couldn’t take part in software development at that time due to federal restrictions, so they licensed their UNIX product for educational use in the university world. The University of California at Berkeley (UCB) took the UNIX OS, did a lot of research and improvements on it, and eventually created their own version of the system, later to be known as BSD UNIX (Berkeley Standard Distribution). The original UNIX continued to become the infamous System V UNIX (SysV, read sys-5).So for now, we have three different worlds: (1) the PC world with Microsoft DOS on top of it, (2) the Apple world with Macintosh the sole player in it, (3) the university world with UNIX.Now let’s go back to the PC world in the mid-late 80s and see what’s happening.Now Apple is trying to push their frontier and make a bigger contribution to the market. All the systems up to that point ran on a TUI (text user interface, yes - that ugly black screen). Xerox (yes - the photocopying-machine-thingy) developed a GUI (Graphical User Interface), so Apple borrowed that. Microsoft later was envious of it and decided to borrow it also. They started the “Windows” project by releasing Windows 1.0, which was only a fancy file manager on top of MS DOS. It was not until Windows 3.0 that Windows was promising to become an important part of their world. Windows continued to be a “secondary” layer on top of MS DOS (i.e. the real OS was DOS, not Windows) until Windows 2000, which was the merger between the “normal” Windows version that we used at our homes, and the “professional” Windows version that was called Win NT (New Technology), yeah - corporate gets the good stuff. Anyhow, after Win 2k, Windows became a standalone Operating System, independent of MS DOS.Now let’s go back to UNIX.Due to different problems with licensing and copying and whatnot, a college professor named Andrew Tanenbaum, who was teaching Operating Systems, decided to make a clone of UNIX, without using UNIX code, to avoid legal trouble. He made a system (with the aid of some TAs and other interested programmers) and named it MINIX (Mini-UNIX). For a long time (till today) the system has been used for teaching in many institutions.MINIX was great, but it had two problems: (1) the code itself was given to you after you buy the accompanying book (I don’t remember if there was a separate fee for the code), and (2) the kernel was a micro-kernel (let’s skip the jargon, shall we?).Now fast forward to 1991, in the University of Helsinki, Finland. A graduate student, named Linus Torvalds, started a hobby project to make a UNIX-like kernel. He was inspired by MINIX, but he didn’t like some of the design decisions (like being a micro-kernel), so he made his own.Linux (the kernel) has since been combined with an Operating System called GNU (stands for “GNU’S NOT UNIX”) to make the fully operational GNU/Linux (what you call, erroneously, Linux). Many different vendors and communities started packaging GNU/Linux with some other software to produce different OS distributions, called “distros” for short. Ubuntu is only one of them distros.UNIX nowadays has transformed from an OS to a standard that defines how OSes should work in order for software to be portable. UNIX is now a trademark of The Open Group. The standard is known as the Single Unix Specification (SUS) or the POSIX (Portable Operating Systems Interface).MacOS is the result of merging the iOS kernel with a variant of BSD UNIX known as FreeBSD.Windows is, well, Windows.

Like a weird, more primitive, feature incomplete verson of today's internet.Social media did not exist, first of all. Friendster, the first social media site, came into being in 2002. Myspace went online the following year. Facebook, now a staple of the internet, showed up the year after that. So no social media.Instead, most people talked one-on-one using either AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Instant Messenger, or ICQ. These were primitive, text only versions of modern video chat programs like Skype, Viber or Discord.What did AOL stand for? America On-Line. Considered a bad company, they nonetheless managed to be the Google of the 90's internet by sending out CDs with their software to literally everyone. In the 90's you didn't google something, you entered an "AOL keyword" which would be shown in movie trailers or TV commercials.MSN was a slightly weirder competitor that still exists today. Founded by Microsoft, it evolved over time until it became the MSNBC media company, with Microsoft keeping part of it until they merged MSN Messenger with Skype when they bought the latter at some relatively recent point.ICQ is long forgotten. It's mostly famous today for appearing in two songs by 90's band Prozzak.Video chat, at the time, was considered the future, but had yet to materialize. In fact a lot of tech became a sore point on January 1, 2000 when "the future" didn't arrive on schedule. A schedule set by science fiction over the entire 20th century. Until Skype showed up in the mid-2000s, people thought "video phones" were a pipe dream.Other tech that we take for granted today which was annoyingly absent in the year 2000 were: Virtual Reality, commercial space travel (as primitive as it currently is), the Mars rovers, graphics in video games that are indistinguishable from reality, the possibility of self-driving cars, replicators (aka 3D printers), AI assistants like Siri or Cortana, and robot cleaners like Roombas.Similarly, there were things that we snirk at today as "retro-futuristic" which were considered "OMG THESE WILL BE HERE IN 1 TO 10 YEARS B CUZ 2000 IS TEH FUTURE!", including: Flying cars,  jetpacks, lunar/martian colonies, alien life, humanoid robot servants in every household, replicators that can actually make things other than plastic, everyday space travel, food pills (or for the cynical, diets consisting entirely of artificial food), cyborgs, uploading our minds to Virtual Reality (as good as VR is looking to be this time next year, we aren't going to be living in it), human-level AI, and time travel.Speaking of the year 2000, there was a lot of fear over "Y2K" or "the Y2K bug". It was an oversight in the programming of DOS and early Windows OS versions such as Windows 95 and Wndows 98. Long story short, they thought that computers would go haywire because the date "1/1/2000" would be seen as "1/1/1900" by essential programs, and it all turned out to be a lot of fuss over a problem that had been solved easily months in advance with a couple upgrades to the OS. Macs (Apple computers) and the Linux OS were entirely immune as well.Online games were expensive to play and nothing like today's World of Warcraft, Call of Duty or Star Citizen. A good example is Neopets, which is still online to this day; it consists of raising virtual pets and collecting virtual items, with occasional community events. In the 90's kids loved playing it on school computers, although it's primary demographic was bored office workers, as there were no firewalls or site blockers and you could view any website you wanted while at work or at school.Neopets has very low bandwidth requirements that even a Chromebook or Netbook can handle despite the game's evolving requirements (both Chromebooks and Netbooks are poor choices for modern gaming), but when I played it as a kid in 2000 on my dad's Macintosh Centris 610 the then-7-year-old machine could barely handle the web pages and I couldn't enjoy the flash games which allowed you to get the game currency easily. Keep in mind that in those days, nobody upgraded their machine unless they had to, so 7 years was a normal lifespan for a family PC.Viruses are now spread primarily through pirated media, sketchy/infected websites and just plain leaving your computer running and online with no firewall or anti-virus. In the 90's, it was completely different.In the early 90's viruses, trojans and worms spread mostly through floppy disks; plastic-shelled objects without even enough storage to contain a modern OpenOffice document, which were inserted into a floppy drive in the computer and basically used much how we use thumb drives today. If you're wondering what they looked like, you will recognize them as the "save" icon on any modern application, and were very flat. They were the primary means of transferring data between PCs and as such were targeted by malicious coders. Post-1996, the "World Wide Web" (internet) became a hit and email attachments became the primary vector for viruses.There was also no adware, spyware or ransomware in the 1990's. Worms were still considered new, and most attacks were done with viruses. The purpose was also different. In those days, hackers just liked to play mean pranks on people using their skills. Today, hacking and malware are a multi-billion dollar organized crime "industry", and programs like Stuxnet show that computers can be used as weapons aganst foreign powers or even for terrorism.Smartphones did not even look like they could be remotely possible in the 90's. You'd look crazy if you told someone in 1995 that in 20 years they and everyone they ever met would have a portable and self-contained device in their pocket capable of making phone calls from any town or city in any country and outputing any type of media including webpages, that was thousands of times more powerful than the supercomputers of the day and only needed to be plugged in to charge the battery overnight. The closest equivalent, a cell phone, was exactly that: an expensive, literally brick-sized device meant for making phone calls, and it only worked in the city you bought it for (small towns of 3500-4000 people like my own didn't get a cell network).In addition, there was a cheap alternative to the cell phone; the pager. Instead of allowing you to communicate back to them, when someone called the pager's phone number it would beep, show the phone number that called you, and you would have to meet them in person.Video game consoles are an entire category of their own. In the early 80's, Atari was the main console making company but had tons of competitors, but the great Video Game Crash of 1983-84 took all of the competitors down and made Atari stop making consoles for a bit. Nintendo took over from here and monopolized the market for the rest of the 80's. How is this important to the 90's? Well...Sega challenged Nintendo's throne in 1989 with the Sega Genesis console, using marketing that was essentially an officially-sanctioned console war. Yes, the same kind of "war" that Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo fans fight today online, started with these ads and was quickly perpetuated by school kids whose parents could only afford one console.In those days that was serious business. Whereas today you can buy GTA V or Fallout 4 on any platform except Nintendo consoles or the PS Vita, Sonic the Hedgehog was highly desired by some and exclusive to Sega consoles. Same with Mario and Nintendo's consoles.Sega lost ground quickly though when they released "add-on modules" for the Genesis which didn't get any exclusive games of note, followed by the failure of the Sega Saturn and strife within the company.Nintendo, however, signed their own hitman contract when they hired Sony to make a competing add-on for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. After they realized they f-ed up the contract and gave most of the control to Sony, they tore it up and in return forfeited to Sony the patent on a now "useless" add-on for the SNES that would become the first PlayStation. Oops. Worse still, Nintendo's attempt to re-do the add-on from scratch with Phillips lead to an exact repeat where the Phillips CD-i took Zelda and Mario and bastardized them for quick cash. Unlike the PlayStation, the CD-i was an utter failure.When the PlayStation came on the scene, they stole Sega's strategy, using sanctioned console warfare to get fans, but modified the tactic a bit; while Sega just said "only losers play Mario so play Sonic", Sony said "the big kids play Crash Bandicoot" and aimed for the now-aging gamer demographic who was in their early teens at the time. All Nintendo could muster was to take a close-second with the N64.However, even back then the "Big N" was unbeaten with portable consoles. Despite the existence of the Sega Game Gear for a short time, the Game Boy and Game Boy Color were the iPad of those days, and the two biggest games of the era were Tetris and Pokemon. If Tetris was the Candy Crush Saga of the 90's, then Pokemon was the Angry Birds of the day, and much like Angry Birds, Pokemon released multiple titles, only to lose traction when the fad ended. Of course, Pokemon eventually became popular again and now has over 4 times the number of cute critters to catch, but it's in the shadow of it's former glory. If you were 9-12 in the late 90's, you liked Pokemon regardless of gender, and EVERYONE wanted a Mew or Mewtwo. Rumors were everywhere about "Mewthree" and the "Pokegods" which "may or may not only be in the Japanese versions", and when questioned where they heard his, they always said "My uncledad works at Nintendo so its true because he said so".Thing is, in the 90's it wasn't Nintendo's games alone that kept them alive. In addition to third-party games like Rampage: World Tour and Extreme-G, they had a "partner in crime" in the form of RareWare, who made amazing games like Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye 007 (yes, a GOOD licensed game), Banjo-Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing. Then in the early 2000's, the worthwhile employees left, and RareWare was bought by Microsoft to make crappy games like Grabbed By the Ghoulies (yes, really; sorry if the real title is offensive to anyone) and Kinect Sports. The only three games they made after the buyout that are worth looking at are Viva Pinata, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (IF you're willing to accept a vehicle combat game and not a platformer), and Conker: Live and Reloaded (a remake of the N64 title Conker's Bad Fur Day).Aside from that, in the early 90's there was the "4 1/2th" generation of game consoles. The 4th generation was basically the Sega Genesis and SNES, period. Halfway through the lifespan of those consoles, 3DO, Philips, Atari and several other companies released consoles that were more powerful, but also prohibitively expensive. The end result was the bankruptcy of every company that tried to do this, and the SNES and Genesis reigned for a full lifespan.A footnote of 90's schoolyard culture, the Tamagotchi (and it's masculine brother, Digimon) was a little electronic device that contained a virtual "pet" that you had to "feed" and "clean" regularily by pressing the corresponding button, and if you didn't it would die and you had to start from scratch. These were the bane of teachers because this necessity of the toy's function was frequent enough to require mid-class interruptions, leading to schools banning them and parents refusing to buy them. Tamagotchis still exist today, but disappeared from the public consciousness when Pokemon became popular in the late 90's. In an ironic twist, the popularity of Pokemon bled over into Digimon, turning the forgotten line of Tamagotchi spinoff toys into a video game/anime/manga/trading card franchise.Similar to Tamagotchis, there were little electronic toys of various purposes. YakBakSFX was a primitive device that played sounds like farts, splats, laughter and other "class clown" noises. The Bop It was a device with various interactive parts like cranks, levers, switches and buttons which was basically a more complex version of the popular 80's toy Simon Says. There was also a device meant to replace CD players which used proprietary SD Card-like cartridges, but it never caught on because the cards only contained one song. Furbies were little animatronic things which are kind of creepy now, but were really popular in the 90's, and similarily there was a robot-like animatronic dog called Poo-Chi at the tail end of the 90's (they came out in 2000, just a year before 9/11 ended 90's pop culture). Lastly, there was a tape recorder made in the 90s that was marketed at kids; surprisingly, the biggest influence on sales was Home Alone 2, which didn't use the device in question but rather a prop which looked similar because they couldn't afford licensing fees.A forgotten piece of technology that was "the future" in the 90's was the fax machine. A mashup of a printer, scanner and landline phone, supposedly it was meant to allow people to work from home, but once offices became 80% paperless it became obsolete.Finally, as a side note, was the "dot-com bubble". While some companies created by this economic trend like Google and Amazon are huge today, the vast majority of them were shallow attempts to get tech-illiterate investors to give them free cash. Everyone and their dog was involved in "e-commerce", which basically meant they sold "vague online investment opportunities". It came crasing down in 2000, and was basically the south pole to the Great Recession's north.
