@@catacocamping874 Although I’m a big believer in owning your own media and hate the fact that music and other streaming services can just pull content on a whim or if they can’t re-secure a license for a piece of content, I don’t see music streaming services ever shutting down. They might change and Spotify may not be around forever but, some company will always fill the void for music streaming and delivery because there is always money to be made.

I still regularly buy CDs. The nice thing about them being unfashionable is that they're dirt cheap. I find that if I buy physical media, I'm much more likely to listen to it. Streaming services offer infinite music, and it makes it feel disposable. I also buy vinyl, but it's a lot more expensive than CDs and harder to keep clean. CDs really do sound the best of any physical media. You have zero surface noise, no tape warble, etc. I'm going to continue championing them as the best way to listen to music.

I'm the same way. The prices are the same and yes you may have to wait a few days but you own it. I've had a home computer since they came out and I can't tell you how many times a new system or upgrade couldn't read an earlier version of a download so one would have to purchase it again. I understand it's the same way with the cloud: it you don't pay your monthly service you don't have access to your music, so do you really own it..... Unfortunately I can see the day when music doesn't come in a CD format.

That wasn't even the first version of the floppy disk. Younger people may wonder why it was called a floppy disk when it was actually fairly rigid. That's because the original floppy disks were way larger and were actually floppy. The 3 1/2" disks pictured here were the most common ones from my childhood, but I remember using the 8" version from time to time. Some computers had multiple drives to insert different types of floppy disks.

Later replace by streaming music services that save people the costs of buying an album for a couple of good songs with the rest being lackluster songs.

Landlines exist, but companies want to get rid of them. Phone lines can be used for DSL internet (5-100Mb/second, about 1/6th to 1/10th the speed of cable). That may not be good enough for streaming, but it is more than fast enough for downloads, reading text, images and 240p video. Many places in the US ~~~STILL~~~ don't have ANY internet access. It's ludicrous that phone companies don't use existing wire lines for it when the hardware already exists. I lived in the Philippines for a few months in the mid-2000s. DSL on phone lines was how they quickly provided internet access everywhere because they didn't have to built any new infrastructure. They went directly to wifi later once they had the money.

I remember my freshman year in Uni (Around 2014/2015) I was a bit older than my classmates, so I was the only one that went "Oh, snap! It's been years!" when our Professor brought in an older tv with a vhs so we could watch a documentary for the class. Meanwhile, my Gen Z classmates were fascinated by the 90's relic before them.😂 I used to have a Boom Box and a few cassettes before the CDs took over. I actually still have my CDs somewhere in my closet. I honestly was so happy when my cousin upgraded her iPod and gave me her older one, since I had the bad habit of taking my CD collection everywhere. (I can't be in a car without my music. It helps me relax and enjoy both long and short car rides. My escape💖)

I used to believe I couldn’t survive the day without my walkman. It was an introvert’s bestfriend. My parents used to tell me that the money they spent on those AA batteries were insane but I had to convince them hard that I needed my walkman to motivate me to keep fighting to stay at my batch’s top 5 students and it worked to my parents’ both delight and dismay.

It's a shame that typewriters are hardly ever used today...but it would be a great alternative because with computers being so easily hacked and people's information being so easily stolen and being sold on the dark web, you never have to worry about old-fashioned typewriters being hacked. I still have my electric typewriter and I use it as well as my computer when I write. And as for most of the items on this list, some of them are slowly making a comeback because of the slow disdain and lackluster enjoyment of the technology of today.
@Akira62525 күн бұрын
I grew up in the 80s, and witnessed typewriters slowly get overtaken by word processors as home computers became more popular. I can understand why this happened, since word processors allowed users to edit and proofread documents before printing them. I saw some electric typewriters that had incorporated some word processor features like editing, but they weren't as robust as full word processor apps.
@guessundheit649425 күн бұрын
There are quality new electric typewriters still for sale (Nakajima, Brother), but the only manuals being made anymore are cheap garbage made in China. I ~~~LOVE~~~ my manual, being able to do quick and dirty - and legible - printouts when needed, usually faster than booting up a computer. Remember how people used to react to hand written letters, they saw it as something done just for them, not cheap and mass printed? Type a letter on a typewriter and mail it to someone. You will likely get the same kind of reaction and grattitude.

We literally just ditched our landline this year. We replaced it with a cell phone and ported our landline number over. The impetus was that AT&T in our area seems to have a problem actually providing service more than a couple of days a week. We also ditched our fiber internet. We have 5G now and it's much more stable.

@vickiwaatti107625 күн бұрын
Google says: The QWERTY layout was designed to prevent the keys on a typewriter from getting stuck when typing fast. The letters on the keyboard were arranged in a way that kept the most commonly used keys apart from each other, so that they would not get jammed together

I absolutely loved the first used car that I bought with my own money and that car was a Pontiac 6000 which had 100,000 miles on it when I bought it. I put another 36, 000 miles on it before trading it in. When I traded it in, they gave me a trade value double what the bluebook was for the condition because it still ran, was great on gas mileage, and had zero cracks or rips or stains in any of the interior. It was my pride and joy but it was getting too many miles on it and I needed to say goodbye to it.
