It feels like technology progresses faster than any of us can get a handle on it, and gear from just a decade or two ago looks archaic. Kids these days barely even know what a CD is, let alone a VCR, and walkmans are already in museums.
Here are 20 pieces of "vintage" tech that you'll only remember using if you're over a certain age. (You'll just have to guess what age that is.)
1
These even came equipped with Snake.
2
So you could sample some tunes before settling on a purchase.
3
A turkey cutting specialist, I’m not sure why versions of this aren’t still in use. Do people not want a chainsaw for the kitchen?
4
TV-input video cards, for a good time and good tunes.
5
Some seriously high-end tech.
6
With manual dial-in capabilities.
7
A true technological marvel.
8
Far superior to a USB stick… which are now obsolete in their own way.
9
Remember, this is how all mouses used to work.
10
How to turn TV viewing into a colorful, and tube-ey experience.
11
Gone are the days of standing in one place, taking calls for the household.
12
In reality, these haven’t changed much. (Get it?)
13
Before the Madden games, this was the best football experience around.
14
Make sure to follow instructions.
15
This is how you watched your Star Wars Original Trilogy box set.
16
Pretty pricey if you ask me.
17
Look how they massacred my boy.
18
Owning one of these meant that you were a big business boss.
19
This isn’t a single piece of tech, but a style. Why don’t we have the urge to see inside out electronics anymore?

This state of the art guy is loaded up!
