Is there a piece of ‘outdated’ technology you still miss?

I miss the old game console Intellivison, we had some wonderful times with those games. It came out in 1979.

No - - - I'm tired of technology replacing everything I fnd useful. I need a simple leather holder for a notepad and pen similar to the one pictured, which used to be common, and can no longer be found in any office supply store I've visited over the past year, and I not want to order simple items like this online.

I can still hear the sound of putting one in the player...and the feel of it. Kinda miss 8-tracks. That's really weird of me, I know, because I always hated the mess when they unraveled.

wELL my first at home foray into the www came about because
a friend gave me a web-tv device, and with things they are now I
kinda, sorta wish it was still available....

Technology? Maybe not quite, but I miss the original Netflix. No question, Netflix is a mighty conglomerate, and made itself rich. Yay for them, but I miss the ability to watch almost any film ever made, which Netflix built it's reputation on. Today, I can watch Netflix for three weeks before I run out of anything interesting.

Had an 8-track player in my car, along with a piece of bright orange shag carpet in my rear view area. Boy, I thought I was something. I was some . . . Thing alright!

Okay, gotta ask, @Michael Z ... fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view mirror?

The electric steam iron. I miss the days of ironing my shirts, pants, socks, and even my sheets. It was a jolt of joy to spray some clothing with starch. I had the radio on listening to music or a good baseball game. Good times.

I actually miss them shipping the DVD;s. I stream all the time now and I do enjoy the higher video quality but I miss the wider variety of options of selecting shows and movies back then.

When I was going to grade school and high school , I used my dad's IBS Selectric typewriter to type reports for school. Sometimes I think it would be easier to use that instead of using Docs and my printer to do the same now. I know I am probably just waxing nostalgia though.

I miss the days when you bought a computer, it came with everything you needed, you didn't need bloated virus software and the computer lasted for years. I also miss the earlier days of the internet when you could find anything you wanted, no paywalls or cookie things.
