A man buys a 1997 laptop and can’t believe what’s inside: “if this gets to you, hit me up”
Objects from the past that hide great surprises.

The past always holds surprises for us, and that is why it is important to know it and continue exploring it in all possible areas. From cameras almost a century old that hide photos that remained hidden to computers almost 30 years old that keep secrets that no one thought they would ever see again. The latter is the case here, with Noah Simmons, a 28-year-old man from Virginia who bought an old laptop with which he has managed to go viral after showing what was hidden inside.
He bought the laptop for $20 with the aim of playing classic video games, but inside his old hard drive he found a writing made by a boy named Drew, and at the time he was 11 years old. A time capsule that makes us travel to the decade of the 90s, and Noah highlighted the fact that he “loves to buy old technology and anything that has history.”

A trip back in time to a wonderful childhood
Drew, the boy who wrote that text back then, will be almost 40 years old today, and some users even pointed out that reading such an iconic text about childhood and “going from this to a 40 hr work week is diabolical.” Is that all the author of the video found about Drew? No, but he is reluctant to show it until he manages to contact the person in question, and it looks like he might have managed to reach him on Facebook but has yet to get a response.
A piece of writing that talks about friendship, nature, playing with friends, Pokémon, and a wonderful childhood that many can relate to.
