Throwback Thursday: What is your favorite piece of technology from "back in the day" ?

Before we all had smartphones and tablets, we used to have Walkmans, VHS tapes and enormous box-like computer monitors. It's hard to fathom that just a decade ago these were the trendiest pieces of technology out on the market. Now, seeing a cell phone the size of a brick is somewhat laughable.

What is your favorite piece of technology from "back in the day" that revolutionized your world?

I remember being ecstatic about getting a Timex watch that could store 100 laps over the normal 30 laps. To boot, it had flix technology that would activate the indigo when shaking your wrist. 🤣

Do you remember this Nokia 8110 phone? It was affectionally known as the banana phone.I thought it was amazing at the time, especially the sound etc. It was my first real cellphone in the UK. Call quality was amazing too compared to the rest.

This is where it all began folks... "personal" computing. Harnessing the power of computation for non-geeks at home, this was the gateway drug to our personalized technical advancement and the beginning of our doom. 😏
