Some people can’t wait for the newest iPhone or the latest tech gadgets and gear to be released, while others are really content with the stuff they’ve literally been using for decades. A Reddit post has them sharing by asking, “What outdated or obsolete tech are you still using and are perfectly happy with?”
More than 4-thousand people have weighed in with the old tech they love and these are some of the top responses.
- “Watches that only tell the time. Maybe the date, too :)”
- “A calculator. You know - with buttons and a screen.”
- “Still love playing the Nintendo GameCube.”
- “iPod classic - 160gb”
- “I still take a notepad and pen into every meeting”
- “Wired earphones. Cheap, don't have to charge, don't need to worry about losing them.”
- “DVDs. Sadly, most modern computers have no drives, so external is the only option.”
- “A manual transmission”
- “I have a hand crank can opener. I also have a lawn mower without an engine”
- “I'm still using the same pirated photoshop for 10 years. No sense in trying to fix what ain't broken”
- “I use a double edge razor to shave and I've just finished polishing my shoes with wax and a stiff brush. In both cases it takes a little longer than using an electric razor or those shoe polishing pens, but I enjoy the ritual and I don't mind it taking a bit of extra time.”
- “My film cameras”
- “I own my music. I have 100s of CDs so I still use my CD player and MP3 player. And, to be honest, I still have about 150 vinyl albums I play on occasion.”
- “I have an offgrid cabin in the woods, I have a small pc responsible for recording/saving images from security cameras, and also serves as a data logger for my weather sensors - it all runs on Windows XP and it’s rock solid.”
- “VHS player”
- “I still write checks”
