Pagers are still around and still have some important critical use cases. Most of their infrastructure has been consolidated into a few companies now. They have better range and penetration (buildings, remote locations) when compared to cell phones. Mobile networks are not as robust in an emergency compared to pagers and a traditional land line.

Another big mistake that Microsoft made with IE (or Internet Exploder) was not being compliant with web standards. This made developing websites a real headache for webmasters. You'd have pages with scripts that ran fine on every other browser but didn't in Exploder, so you'd have to either use browser detection to reload to an IE-friendlier version (which was extra work), post a message that the site runs best on X browsers (remember those days?), or just fugehtaboutit.

Loved PB Crisps. I preferred Netscape Navigator back in the day to Explorer since IE had more bugs in it that a bait store back then. Had three Walkmans, including one with digital readout. Had a discman as well, but it was never as good as the Walkman since you couldn't clip it to your waste. My mom loved Tab but when they changed the formula in the 80s with the "Tab's got sass" campaign, she stopped drinking it. I remember when our family got out first VCR. Bulky, metallic with a plug in remote that died pretty quickly. It cost a couple of hundred dollars, as the replacement we got. Then when I got my own VCR, the price of VCRs went down and became more affordable.

I've still got my Walkman and Discman and use them every now and again. I also still have my ipods. Though my latest ones battery doesn't hold very much anymore. I kinda prefer having a separate thing for listening because listening on the mobile and doing other stuff on it pulls a lot of power. I've noticed with old phones that after a year or so that my battery drains so much and the added drain from everything doesn't help. I don't have the money to get a new phone whenever my current one starts to act up and usually only do get a new one when it is barely living 😅 I'm thankful that there are mobile plans but if your doing it tough, keeping up with a phone can be hard, especially because it's such an important tool for running your life unfortunately. Australia still has payphones here and there. I have one two blocks down from my house. But years ago, they were made free to use because most people have mobiles and the ones that are still around are there for incase of emergencies, as I think emergency numbers are the only numbers that work on them now I think 🤔

I’m surprised that VCRs aren’t made anymore, despite there’s demand for VHS converters! Even Walkmans need to make a comeback, since there’s a resurgence in analog formats like vinyl records and cassettes! Also Kodak still makes cameras, they’re licensed to Vivitar! And dedicated MP3 players are still made by small scale manufactures for audiophiles!

The ironic twist with regards to Netscape is that the source code which was used to create it, was then used to create Mozilla Firefox and also SeaMonkey. However saying that, I found hilarious that the number one product that doesn't exist anymore according to the video was Microsoft Internet Explorer. It did kill off Netscape Navigator and then ended up being a victim of it's own success when Microsoft Edge took over. Its like the old saying goes "he who laughs last, laughs best", I can only imagine that the people who created Netscape, must have been laughing there asses off when they discovered that their source code when on to create Firefox and SeaMonkey and Internet Explorer was hung up to dry. 😆

I still use MP3 players. They're smaller than a phone and the ones I have store a lot more music than a decently-priced phone does. The small size works a lot better for me when I'm biking, hiking or running. But then again, I'm kinda odd- I prefer to use the Internet on my computer with dual 27-inch monitors instead of squinting at a phone screen. I really only use the phone for texting and making calls.

DVD replaces VHS, true and untrue. For PRERECORDED movies & TV shows, DVD became the new standard. However, for "time shifting" to watch your TV shows at a later time, VHS remained king. It was DVR-type units, usually from your Cable or Satellite TV service, that killed VCRs later on in the 2000s.

I remember when Congress held the meeting and had no clue what they were doing with Windows 95. They didn't understand that Internet Explorer was included but you could easily install any other browser. I often had to use several browsers because of the type of coding that each site had. Not 1 browser could handle all the sites. It was a lot of work to have all the plug-ins needed I still own a fax machine. And they still sell inkjet multifunction machines that print fax and copy. I bought a laser multifunction machine. It was a lot more than the 30 dollar inkjet multifunction machines Pagers are still around. The 900 MHz versions are still in use almost everywhere. Hospitals use them a lot and some hospitals even have their own 900 MHz paging frequency. There used to be a lot of 150 to 160 MHz voice pagers. I used to own them back in the 80s and 90s I don't know if any are still in use. Airpage , the beeper people, had a huge client base for voice pagers back in the 90s in New England Many companies still use voice pagers on their own frequency. And almost every fire department in America has a VHF or UHF pager frequency for EMS and fire departments. I used to be in the fire department and I listen to the calls in my district with my own Motorola pager and base amplifier that I purchased and programmed about 20 years ago. I am going to see 8f VHF commercial voice pager companies still exist. I know you can get a digital 900 MHz pager but it would be amazing if they still have voice pagers you can buy and have a commercial service for. The ones I had you could pay for a private phone number, a whole exchange was dedicated to the company and they sold individual numbers, so someone could call the number assigned to you and get your personal message and it would record and broadcast the message to you 3 times. The pager was very loud. The beep could be heard anywhere in the house. The less expensive service had the main number of the pager company and it would prompt you for the 6 digit ID of the person you were trying to page and then record your message and page the person with your message. They actually had 2 different frequencies, one for the less personal accounts and one for the people who bought the private numbers. They didn't keep track of the number of calls you received. Back then it was a business tool. Cell phones back then were a business tool as well. Typically the bill was 400 dollars a month at a time minimum wage was 3 dollars In today's standard the bill was about 1000 dollars a month for cell service that you used a couple times a day. And you couldn't roam the way you do now. Many companies were small local cell companies with 1 tower. I remember before cell phones we had low band 30 MHz 2way radios that we could active the phone link by pressing the star key on the DTMF pad and we got a dial tone and pressed the number on the dtmf pad including the 1. Everyone else on the frequency heard the conversation, at least the base part of the conversation. We pressed the pound key to end the call and disconnect the phone link. That was in the 70s. It was the predecessor to the initial cell phone companies that were actually base stations that transmitted a single UHF frequency. The original Motorola cell phones were actually two way radios and there were three modules the receiver the transmitter and the control unit. We had to separate antennas on the trunk one for the receiver and one for the transmitter The original cell phone units were 12 w transmitted and the towers were usually 100 w You could easily talk from fifteen or twenty miles away from the tower that was up on the mountain When they started actually creating cell sites they reduce the power of the hand-held cellphones to 4 watts but the towers are still 100 watts to this day. Theoretically the towers should only need to be 10 W but the company's all transmit 100 watt power for each frequency It's a lot of radiation I used to live on the top floor with 24 antenna towers above me and each of those antennas had 10 frequencies in use My RF field strength meter would peg off the scale every time I turned it on in my apartment I'm glad I don't live there now
