'Obsolete' technology that you remember using.

[Pinstar]

Vinyl records. They were very much on their way out when I was just old enough to have music that I listened to on my own... but I did have a record of sesame street songs that I loved as a child. As a slightly older child, I learned to mess with the speed settings and, via manual rotation, the direction of the record player. I learned to hear my favorite sesame street characters sing like they were on crack... 50 feet tall or possessed...respectively.

What color did you have?

Mine is(I still have it) the Clear Purple with a Green battery cover(it got stolen then I found it with the green backing on it. I actually like it like that).

I had a clear purple as well... clear was always the best. I still use my clear PS2 controller over the solid black one.

 

[Death God]

VHS, Cassette Player, Portable CD player, a HP 2000, and (believe it or not) an 8-Track Player. My grandpa had one in his old cars. There was some "groovy" stuff in that car.
Edit: Forgot every the original Gameboy, Gameboy Advanced, Gameboy Color, Gameboy SP, and a PS1.

Any of you kids ever use typewriters?

Yup frickin' clackety clack typewriters.

No spellcheck.

 

[Zorg Machine]

floppy disks, VHS and 2D TV

2D TV? I still have 2DTV, and its only in HDTV...its such old tech now lol

It was a joke =P
Blu ray is so obsolete that red rey is obsolete before it has even been developed. The future lies in green ray.

3D is also obsolete. 4D is the way of the future.

Actually, you'd be looking at ultra violet ray.

Just putting it out there.



Edit:


OT:

Print media? Magazines and newspapers specifically.

Ultra violet? The film industry would never alienate the vampire fanbase.

The "most" obsolete is almost certainly vinyl records. When I was a very young child, I owned a number of them along with a (I believe) Fischer Price table. I also owned a number of Cassettes. I have plenty of movies on DVD, most notably the THX release of Star Wars IV - VI and the Alien Trilogy along with "classics" like Navy Seals.

I still have, somewhere in storage, a number of games stored on various floppy discs. I started playing games before the NES era and still have every console I've ever owned. I use a fountain pen daily and take all my notes on paper in spite of the fact that I have a laptop in my possession most of the time.

 

[Madara XIII]

Believe it or Not I still have a VCR and about 4 box loads of VHS tapes...

Speaking of which I ended up getting the DragonBallZ entire Buu Saga on VHS for only $3!!!

SUCK ON THAT DVDS!!! the tapes still work like new!

- Nintendo 64
- SNES
- Computer with Windows 97 and AOL version 7.0 (JESUS The earrape you get from trying to connect to the internet) @_@
- Record Player with a few LPs
- Floppy Discs

and BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!! I once used a CD PLAYER :O....That's right, No iPod, just straight up bulky ass CD Player with some giant ass headphones and couldnt run with it either cause the damn thing would skip XD

 

[Cain_Zeros]

VHS+VCR, Dial-up, music on cassettes (and thus the far more involved process of creating mix tapes), Windows 98, a console made by Sega (the Genesis, specifically), cartridge-based consoles (started out on a NES), the Gameboy Color, CRT monitors.

 

[camazotz]

My first console: Atari 2600
My first home computer: Trash-80 (the Radio Shack CoCo)

It used a tape recorder for downloading software.

Around that same time, I had an 8-track player to listen to music on.

Let me say that I really LOVE the 21st century. Never, ever want to go back to the 70's!!!!!! That archaic stuff will be my "when I was your age, I walked ot school both ways in the snow, wearing only sandals" speech to my kid(s) one day.

 

[Smooth Operator]

CD/DVD's it may not be obsolete quite yet, but it should have been 5 years back, it's such a poor medium.

Those funny key fob things that you clap and it plays a beeping thing at you so you can find your keys
