Fun fact: fax machines are still widely used in many industries, the majority of car dealers still use them to send signed contracts to banks and the DMV.
That is mainly for security, because hacking/wire-fraud requires physical access to one side. It's the same reason (the silo based) US nuclear launch system still uses 3.5inch floppy disks, and an entirely separate phone system, today. You would need to break into an ICBM silo, undetected, just to get that site's half of the launch "code."
its just that fast to send a document that is also printed. Still beats the friction of email where you need to find it in your inbox, maybe in spam, then downloading the file, then opening the file to print it, selecting the size of the paper, and waiting for the printer to finish printing, before you can sign it.
Ahaha my first internet was AOL and Blockbuster was my Dealer they had CD connection lol I’d show up every 90 days to grab my free 90 day trial for the internets
Same but my discs usually came from Walmart when they had them on the sides of aisles to grab for free. We would get the free trial then my mom would usually call to end the subscription once the trial was over. They would then offer us a discount for so many months. If we could afford it my mom would take the offer then cancel once that discounted period was over. Wait so many days and repeat lol. Of course not everytime they would offer us the discount option and I think one time they did get mad at us for only using them with the "free limited time" offer lol ( that may have been At&T I don't remember). Was annoying though in the early days having to ask for permission to go online only to be told my mom was expecting a call from my Aunt who never called that day lol. Struggles kids of today will never know.
I'm 44........and the way the world has changed since I was born has been CRAZY!! I'm glad that I've embraced the changes that have been made and necessary 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, I don't think anything changed that drastically. Everything was in incremental changes so there really wasn't any additional learning curves. Some older people had issues, but they probably would have had issues boiling water.
Worked in a TV studio for a few years and when I left in 2012, they were still using mini disc for some of the audio. As for the incandescent lights, we used 1k, 2k, and 5k lamps and when the 5k goes, you would know it. I do have a small collection of broken lamps with bubbles on the glass.
Fun fact, they actually still use pagers in hospitals. It's because they are more reliable at getting a signal and will always work no matter where you are, whereas mobile phones often lose their signal due to electrical equipment or the thick walls and ceilings around them.
Fax machines aren't gone. They are still used in finance and medical businesses, as well as international business correspondence since there is almost no delay.
Pagers never went away either - they're still used in a LOT of hospitals around the world. Cell phone signals are notoriously bad inside hospital buildings, and even wifi is unreliable and drops connections (and is SLOW AF on top). So in order to keep in contact - especially for emergency cases - they still use Pagers for their rock-solid signals and short, to-the-point messages with zero other distractions, unlike phones or tablets. Whilst LED light bulbs ARE great in that they don't output so much heat (although they still DO heat up quite a bit) and they do save on electricity - they're still as much of a fire hazard because of the control boards failing or cheap versions from China that don't have adequate heat dissipation features. Plus, unlike incandescent bulbs which were just some glass, some metal and some inert gas that was harmless - all things that can be easily recycled or disposed of without damaging the environment - LED bulbs are ALL plastic and can't be easily recycled, are damaging to the environment when dumped, are damaging to the environment when produced .... honestly the downsides to LED bulbs FAR outweigh the downsides to incandescent bulbs, but oddly nobody seems to understand or care.
Matt mentioned Devil's Lake, North Dakota. Devil's Lake is why I have Thalassophobia. I got pulled into said lake as a kid by a boat while fishing with my dad and brother. the boat was super close to shore, grabbed my line, and pulled me in. Devil's Lake is dark as fuck and gets deep pretty close to shore in some parts. We were by said part of shore. Boar pulled me in, I didn't know how to swim yet, so I started to sink. It was nearly pitch black in the water and I was 7. The boat owner and my dad both jumped in and came after me, and both got me out at basically the same time. It felt like forever but was over in about 20 seconds. Ever since then, deep, dark water triggers me and gives me panic attacks to the point where I will sometimes throw up. Went to a therapist, was diagnosed with Thalassophobia after a few months and even now, a few decades later, I still can't do deep water, even on boats or in video games, TV shows, movies, etc. Thanks Devil's Lake!!
As a young person, I want to use a pager, mini disc, desk drum phone and other old tech. It is so much more fun than modern phones that pretend to replace everything
While I agree that Incandescent bulbs are silly for light nowadays, they are still very useful and hard to replace for some applications such as providing heat for livestock and to keep pipes from freezing. I have tried a number of heat mats and heat lamps but most of those are very poorly made and seem to be way more likely to randomly short out and catch on fire while costing much more. I have had several heat mats and lights actually catch on fire, once a heat lamp even started a decent fire in a shed that could have been really bad if it had not been raining at the time and that lamp was even on a GFCI outlet but still caught on fire. In my many years of using incandescent bulbs for the same sort of thing I have never had one actually catch anything on fire even when a fixture would come into contact with water and short out. And for a heat source they are really more energy efficient then many alternatives as they come in much lower wattages for applications that do not need much heat, while many of the alternatives either just waste way more power then is needed or have to be setup with a thermostat in some way. You would think that 300-500 watt heat mats and lamps would have built in thermostats, but many do not or they are so bad that they are not actually usable, so to get something that actually works properly you have to buy and setup a actually good external thermostats that adds extra cost, complexity, and another thing to potentially fail and short out. I kind of hate to see the loss of incandescent bulbs many as they are so useful as a small low wattage source of heat.
You glossed over the fact the "Radium Girls", which is what the women who painted radium dials, would also play with Radium by painting their teeth and using it as makeup
MiniDisc was awesome. It never skipped, you could rewrite tons of times. Just pick some songs or albums in the morning and let it write while you're putting your pants on.
i remember getting a book at walmart (like a giant magazine) it was a phone book but full of websites it was so cool but crazy that something like that existed
I'm still rocking my Minidisc players. Got a Professional Studio Deck hooked into the house stereo, and a few portables lying around for going out of the house.
Incandescent still have a place The light spectrum's different so more appropriate for certain artwork and how you supposed to do that thing where you incubate at egg till it hatches with an LED
lol, I got not just one, but two minidisc players in my rack. and about four portable ones. Was a great format and quite popular here in Europe. My dad produced radio programs from a minidisc alone, just recording, cutting and compiling the radio programs including ads when he couldn't be there live. Later it was easier to do it on computers, but it was quite a few years were minidisc was the best way to do it.
Ya know these two always take shots at PSN on ps3. I remember those days. It worked just fine for me. I dont care how well it works now. I already paid to much for the games/ console I'm not paying for a stupid network as well.
Join us on pc, we advocate for free multiplayer gameswide! And thats includes consoles, join the masters of gaming and join the fight for 100% free multiplayer!
Agreed. I switched to PC full time 8-10 years ago and never went back to PS. PS3 era for PSN was about as good as it got. The hacking still happened after they started charging for what was once free.
I had a NYC messaging service back in my professional acting days. You would call and actually get a person. I remember when the changed to an automated system. I thought that was weird at the time.
Lmao at 9:11 😆 we got those too and the urban legend was if youre being tailed and the driver tailing you keeps flashing their car lights at you, they are a gang member about to etc etc etc lmao
I still carry a pager every day for work. Machine goes down, one of us gets a page worth a brief description and a location the factory. Works great. 🤷♂️
The three-handed thing about the 64 controller The real annoyance that I really had was with the game shadows of the empire but only whenever trying to enter the debug mode and basically I ended up using my nose as the third hand kind of cuz my left hand also was holding the z because it required both shoulder buttons c buttons directional buttons and movements of the analog stick
Only thing I truly miss about the PS3 PSN era is actually Playstation Home. Yeah it was kinda weird and not ever fully fleshed iut but was a good way IMHO to add to your psn friend list
Agreed 100% I spent so much time on home. It was VrChat before VrChat. I'm confident they would get so much more marketing success if they brought it back. It was loved so much, there's a community who's been restoring it and have a functioning online build of it.
My favorite old tech was KGB. This was before Google, you would text any question to KGBKGB and within the hour someone would text you back with the answer. (That's how I learned why the older sister wasn't in Poltergeist 2).
Wait, people used AOL disks/floppys/etc as actual item they were meant to? Hell I just ended up using them as toys(throwing the disks/etc) as we just got them so much that had to do something with them :). They made nice Frisbees after all XD. Gave us kids something to do when weren't technically supposed to be online in the house on those nice days to play outside.
I actually own a fax machine. It's a combo fax/scanner/copier/laser printer, even though I've never used it as a fax machine and don't even have a land line to my place anymore. I got it for free, and the laser printer is so much better than using an inkjet printer.
I wasnt supposed to be online either at home lol. In 9th grade I got Sony T610 phone, and was able to plug it into the computer and use it as a modem to hook up to Kmart Bluelight internet. What a time to be alive haha
Funny enough; AOL Desktop is still around. Paid subscription, but looks just like the old program. Had to get it for some time for my mother cause she was so bent on ONLY using AOL cause it's all she knew.
6:30 I just realized I lived my childhood surrounded by radium 💀 I remember my room was space themed and my bed sheets were glow in the dark then I had the glowing stars on my ceiling and a space wallpaper that also glowed in the dark
Hahahahaha naw you didn't. It was gone by the 60's.. if that. They knew about radium girls long before stick on plastic glow stars hahaha. It was only in sealed watches and such the last decades.
So if people wearing those google glass things at inappropriate times were called "Glass-holes" what do we call people doin the same with the apple thing, A(for apple)-holes? and is Austin being one in this video? ;)
I feel really bad for the people who got my insecure 16 year old self's messages. Asking about average pp size and a bunch of other questions just trying to get affirmation. The girl I was dating at the time told me she thought 10 inches was average and I instantly felt ashamed.
Id still prefer old PSN over modern day. It was much more enjoyable experience without getting nickled and dimed. Plus the hacking situation hasnt really changed that much after they started charging for the service....
PS3 era PSN was absolutely fine for being free other than the lack of party chat. Now they charge you for playing multiplayer and hacks still happen on smaller scale, yeah no thanks.
Please make Austin wear all the random clothes you can buy on temu when you search for cyberpunk clothes and also the Vision Pro and the Razer Zephyr all at the same time… I swear this isn’t a fetish.
A suggestion for the next video i thought when you'll were talking about faxes would either be 1. Go through old videos ( commercials and such) and see what ideas of "tommorows world" are closest to having come through ( a ranking video). To my knowledge the closest so far has been the tech from back in the future lol. Or 2. Have a VS match and have Matt and Austin guess what era the idea from the tech is. What was going on in said era that may have made people think this is how the future will evolve lol.
Tiger electronics games I loved playing them. In Rochester MN hospital during my appointments when I go I get a pager letting me know when the doctor is ready for me. I never want to see Dial up internet again dealing with that in the 90s was frustrating. Fax machine are still used today I know many places that still uses them my apartment complex I live the lady in the office for the place uses one. Hospitals still uses them and the adult family home I been in used one.
Fun fact: fax machines are still widely used in many industries, the majority of car dealers still use them to send signed contracts to banks and the DMV.

Yup, they can't be hacked
We still use them in hotels for credit card authorizations.
The funny thing about the PSN "hack" is that the admin password was actually "12345".

about 5 times in this video i had the thought "What are you angry about?? those were great!!" ... "oh right, these are Never come back tech. wtf??"
