In the year 1999, when Windows 2000 was released the minimum requirements on the OS were Computer/Processor-133 MHz or higher Pentium-compatible CPU, Memory-64 megabytes (MB) of RAM recommended minimum, Hard Disk-2GB hard disk with a minimum of 650MB of free space, CPU Support-Windows 2000 Professional supports single and dual CPU systems. Most RAM was about 256Mb but that was the max for the day. Now a days we have computers with upwards of 3.0GHz with four cores and with upwards of 12Gb of RAM with video cards that have more than a Gb of internal memory just to themselves.
In the year 2000, cell phones were just becoming popular with the general population. Most of the screens were like 4Bit pixels and only in black and white, siilar to calculators. They cpuld only talk, no texting (AHHHHHHH!) and had snake for a game. Not to mention that the batteries were like half the phone and only lasted like a day. Now we can view and edit word documents and most other MS Office documents, while checking email on Facebook. Aswell as the battery life has at least more than trippled.
In the year 2000, Video games were becoming evermore popular with teens and young adults as with me. The PS2 was released this year and at the time was the creme de la creme of consoles at the time. the graphics were amazing at the time. Now a days preety much evgerything electronic has games on it and not to mention the consoles of today. Running in full 1080p through a HDMI cable while using a Bluetooth controller to watch full movies streamed from a computer.
Digital Cameras at the time were bulky, not very much space (eg. 128Mb) and battery life was pretty much non-existent. Around 2.0MP was the max and was not very responsive. Now we have cameras the size of phones that shoot around 10.0MP and can also take videos. the max space is somewhere from 32Gb to i don’t even know, probably whatever the biggest hard drives you can buy are.
