I agree, people apply the "outdated" label to just about anything now. It seems to especially be a thing among teens; "2016 nostalgia" became a thing less than 3 years later. The most recent year which is considerably removed from the world of today is 2008 IMO. People genuinely went about their lives differently back then as it predated tablets and smartphones hadn't yet caught on, so it definitely has that "yesteryear" feel to it whereas the early 2010s haven't yet got to that stage. Smartphones didn't catch on until 2011 and Tablets didn't even exist in 08, they caught on in like 2013. Music, Politics and internet culture is also radically different than it was in 08. Tablets have existed since 2001, but only became popular when ipad came out in 2010

Around 2013 is where it became the norm to own one.

Tablets have existed since 2001, but only became popular when ipad came out in 2010 You're talking about PDAs? They exist since the 90s  I feel like they don't count as proper tablets. Most were pocket-sized and targeted businesspeople. The iPad was truly the first fully fledged mass market tablet.

I can't recall seeing anyone with a tablet back then.

Late 2000s. Early 2010s is still modern IMO except maybe 2010 which I'd argue had more in common with 2008 than 2012 in most things anyway. 2011 feels like the transition and 2012/2013 definitely still feels modern.

I have noticed when you bring up trends from the past you usually are off on when they start and sop being popular. It could be because of location.

I can't recall seeing anyone with a tablet back then. Not true lol. Tablets got mainstream in 2011, a bit before smartphones around the same year, infact until a bit took until later to completely kill off non smartphones. We were in our 20s back then and living in big cities, we had greater exposure in terms of viewing people with these objects in different settings. I recall seeing them virtually everywhere. At 1 out of 3 friends had a tablet by 2011-2012. I would always see numerous people at the malls, airports, gyms, universities and family gatherings with a iPad then.
