Dating myself, but I remember the first time I heard about mp3s. In a school trip, another kid told me that you could download songs in files that were only a megabyte a minute. I was incredulous. Up until then songs were wav files and video was in massive QuickTime files that took decaminutes to download for tiny snippets. Turns out he was right though :)

Remember the first mp3 player you ever saw?

A kid in my middle school had one that ran on a single AAA battery. Mind immediately blown.

Meanwhile I was carrying around a $20 CD player and a packet of CDs.
