What's a sentence nobody has said in 20 years?
"Sorry, I got to return this video"
"Mike? I love that guy, I got him on speed dial"
"Do you have any quarters for a phone?"
"Bill Cosby really is America's dad"
"Can I borrow that VHS?"
"Sorry, I can't come. My favourite show is on"
"Do you know where a phone is?"

“Sorry, I got to return this video”
2004 is when the Blockbuster video rental chain was at its peak (cite), and VHS was still in wide use at the time having only been surpassed by DVD rentals a year earlier. Speed dial was also still a thing then, payphones still exist today, and, although complaints were filed against Bill Cosby much earlier the public wasn't widely aware of them until 2014.
How about "John Kerry is the candidate who can prevent a second Bush term" ?
It's weird how slow things really are. In 2006 you could have rented a VHS from blockbuster and gone home and upload it to YouTube.
I moved out on my own that year and only had cable Internet and a cell phone. Facebook was still edu only, myspace was still popular as hell, you could get DVDs through the mail from Netflix, movie piracy was extremely popular.
I think you'll still need specialized equipment to hookup a VHS machine to a computer and digitize it.
Nope. RCA > S-Video, HDMI, or FireWire. Any of the three would have worked at the time. And many VCRs had either HDMI, VGA, or S-Video out.
Yeah I got my first mobile phone in 2004 and it was one of the Nokia's, 3310 probably. We definitely still had a landline with speed dial and absolutely did not have streaming. Definitely still had VHS, probably got our first DVD player the year before but still used both.
