24 Things That Were Considered Necessities In 2014, But Are Practically Extinct Now

Spotify recently gave me Taylor Swift's song "Shake It Off" in the "Ten Years Ago" selection. I even paused it and couldn’t realize it for several minutes. Wait, what is it – a decade ago? It was literally yesterday… well, okay, the day before yesterday – and it turns out that ten years have passed since then?

Yes, that's right, time is inevitable as Thanos (hell, in 2014 we didn't even realize how dangerous he actually was!), and in the first half of the last decade there were a lot of incredibly cool and simply convenient things that were considered a total must-have, but now are gone with the wind. So here's another nostalgic collection made for you by Bored Panda based on this viral thread in the AskReddit community!

An Ad-less internet. Every where I go it’s just ads. I’m ducking sick of corporations trying to get me to “buy their products”. YouTube now has up to 3 unskippable 15 second ads or 2 30 second unskippable ads. It’s disgusting.

Affordable houses. 2012 was the bottom. Unattainable for many first time buyers now.
