10 Obsolete Retro tech & things we no longer need.

There was something nice about the dial-up internet, and not being constantly connected to it.

Congratulations we're all old!

I still have my original GameBoy, still play with it. Replaced by the DS? GameBoy Color? GameBoy Advance?
Still have some CRT TV's, needed to play old consoles.
Audio Cassettes are still widely used…
We still have payphones over here. Cell Phone reception don't work in countryside.
We still have phone books over here too.

In Japan payphones are still everywhere.

i still use my pager

I can't agree with the comment in the film on the poor picture of the CRT Analogue TVs; that was far better than a dreadfully noisy scrambled one you get now when the weather’s bad or a bit of fog – or even 'No Service' at all! The disadvantage with modern technology – it’s too sensitive and not reliable – whereas most of what you’ve shown here, may be old-fashioned – but WAAAY more dependable! You summed it up when talking of Pagers that people still have to use as you cannot rely on a Cell Phone signal after they’ve been around now for almost forty years! In one word, all modern technology is pretty much crap…

If it’s obsolete, I’m buying it again

Cassettes are still surprisingly widely used, even prerecorded mainstream tapes sell in respectable numbers.
