The 80s and 90s had no mobile phones or internet.
And as for what history is fascinating, I think all of it is.

Majority of the people during the 1980s were had a mobile phone at all. In the year 1983, Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was released. However, it was not possessed by all the people. I think that it was quite expensive and it was only owned by really rich people at that time.

Primitive mobiles were probably dangerous to health. They were too big, a strong brain cancer risk.

These two Native American cultures fascinate me the most:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippian_culture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodland_period
This was way before European settlers came to America.

These cultures collapsed mostly due to foreign disease.

The Cold War era also fascinates me.
I love spy stories and events, especially in that time.

I used to be obsessed with the Civil War! I don't even know why unless it's because some of the old classics I read as a kid mentioned the war. South Carolina used to be the state I always wanted to visit, but then when I went there, it was like every other state I've been in, and nothing really spectacular. Maybe I didn't go south enough?
In Pennsylvania, there are some battlegrounds to visit and what's fascinating is that they talk about how the land is hilly and so the enemies couldn't predict how close the soldiers on the other side were? It really became a slaughterhouse at Antietam.

South Carolina had a lot of antebellum history, for instance, downtown Charleston.
