Questions to ask the person you are interviewing.

Tell me about what School/ Work was like for you in the 90’s

- School was very challenging and different compared to nowadays school. If you were to fail
your exam at year 9, you won’t fail and be a year 10 you will continue to keep studying as a year
9 to pass your exams and then move on to year 10. The struggle back then was hard and my
parents had to sacrifice heaps of things just for us to go to school. 

What was your TV like in the 90’s?

- Black and white quality and the sound was very poor. 

How did you contact your friends in the 90’s?

What was your family car like in the 90’s?

- it was ute and most of the time it was being used so we would walk to school,church and most
places.

What was your favourite thing about the 90’s?

- Being able to experience that part of life and to know the struggles and getting through that
with my family before we moved to NZ to get that wonder of life. 

Question for you to answer.

Based on the answers you received. 

Do you think you would like living in the 90’s?

- Yes/No

Why?

- Just because I think that I wouldn’t survive in the 90’s and I've been so interested in
technology and playing games and it sounds scary to me because of what they’ve been
through.
