WHAT OUTDATED TECH ARE YOU STILL USING, AND ARE “PERFECTLY HAPPY” WITH?

Does anyone still use a fax machine?
Published November 8, 2023

Some people are “early adopters” of tech, while others are still flipping through the channel guide on their TV, trying to find “The Netflix Channel.”

There’s a thread online where people are talking about the outdated tech they’re still using, and they’re still happy with. 

Here are a few of the best responses:

1.  Notepad and pen.

2.  Watches that just tell the time, and maybe the date too.

3.  A calculator, with buttons and a screen.

4.  Physical media, like, DVDs, CDs, video games, books, textbooks, et cetera.

5.  A lot of people mentioned previous video gaming systems.

6.  A hand-crank can opener.

7.  A motorless lawnmower.  (I can understand the simplicity of some old tools, but this depends on your situation.  You aren’t going to mow an acre or more with a motor-less push mower.)

8.  A radio.

9.  Paper maps.

10.  And one person said, “Call me crazy, but I still read by hand dipped candlelight.”  (???)
