One of the many awesome things about being a Xennial is that we grew up during a perfect time period in which many technological advances were first becoming available to the public and computers were definitely the biggest part of this tech revolution!

In this episode of It Came From the 80s, Jay and Tony dive deep into the world of computers in the 1980s. Join the boys as they give a history lesson on computers, and also, relive what it was like back in the day to walk into a "Computer Lab" in school, put in a Floppy Disk of "Oregon Trail", or "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego" and become transfixed by something that no generation before them had experienced.

The guys also talk about their first household computers, how it was first connecting to the internet, printing on dot matrix printers, connecting with people via AOL Instant Messenger, how much life has changed with respect to using computers, and so much more!

Do the lines, "Roads…where we're going we don't need roads." or "Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here" mean anything to you? If you are like Jay and Tony, they can only mean one thing of course...yes, that's right folks. Join Jay and Tony on this week's epic adventure as they discuss one of the greatest movie franchises of them all, Back To The Future!

Not only will you get tons of facts on each of the three movies in the trilogy, but the guys also rank the movies (If you don't like the original the best, then you are most certainly a slacker!), rank their favorites characters, and their favorite lines in the movies as well. Plus they talk about what it would be like if they went back in time and saw their parents in high school, as well as if their kids went back in time and saw them in high school!

So close your gull-wing doors, make sure you are loaded up with plutonium, and definitely make sure that your flux capacitor is fluxing because this is one ride that you're not gonna wanna miss!
