No DVDs - they were just getting ramped up in the mid/late 90s.

Actually, given that the Cold War didn't end, there's a lot of tech that never would've trickled down to civilian hands (DVDs were not among these, though - the Motion Picture Electronics Group was driving forward from the VERY early 90s). No GPS-in-phone, and, given that the iPhone never got invented likely no smartphones as we know them at all. Sure, cell phones...but 1G "bricks".

If you found a working personal computer in T2k, if it was the fastest thing out there, it'd be a PII-450 or possibly PIII-500 with 3-5gb of hard drive, and perhaps 128-256mb RAM and a 17" tube monitor (flat panel displays were available - I remember installing some - but they were rare).

CDs rode tall in the saddle; cassettes weren't totally out yet (I was making "mix-tapes" for friends up until '96 or so), and vinyl hadn't made the "underground" resurgence yet. Likewise, VHS releases of first-run movies were still common.

I'm sure there's some drugs and medical procedures we take for granted now that wouldn't be at all common had things "stopped" in 1997.

Anyone with Type II diabetes is dead by late mid 1998.
