    I'm 57. I was like these kids when my parents showed me old tech, like reel-to-reel and 78s. Going even further back, my grandpa, who was born in 1902, showed me an item from his childhood. I knew immediately what it was...a coffee grinder....from reading. He was amazed. LOL

      When I started work, we had to hand make our own forms to fill out. We used 1 piece of paper to do that. Now we print them out in one second and do that 5 or a dozen times to make them better. Now we use 10x the paper with the computer. When I first started working, deforestation was a major concern people had. Now we have the entire world wasting paper on computers and nobody gives a second care about forests. Frankly, I am surprised we still have trees based on how much people was freaking out about it 30 years ago.

I'm just lucky that I have always had a fascination with older technologies and how they led up to everything we use today. I know how to use a rotary phone, and I know how to play a cassette. The only thing I don't know how to use is how to boot up a program on a computer running BASIC, regardless of whether if it is on a tape or a floppy.

    Uh, correction. The floppy disc shown here is not the MS Word save icon. The first floppy discs were 8", then 5.25". The save icon is based on the final iteration of the floppy disc that was actually called the 3.5" floppy diskette, which actually wasn't floppy because it was enclosed in a plastic housing much sturdier than its predecessors. They also came in multiple colors and included custom color coded labels too, a stark contrast from the all black enclosures and plain white pockets used to store or transport the older floppy discs.
    The immediate successor was ZIP discs, which were quickly replaced by digital storage media like CDs, DVDs, then Flash Drives or Thumb Drives. Now, even those are dying out as online (aka, cloud or web) storage is now mainstream with mobile devices able to access the Internet from virtually anywhere.

The neon purple, red, and green lights are very nostalgic and music and soundtracks still used orchestrals in movies, even horror which is such an 80s thing to do. Favorite move by far is clue, and for actually set in 80s; Airplane without a doubt.
