"MP3 player. Sometimes it’s nice to just listen to music without the phone distractions.
I still use CDs!
I wonder if they’ll make a comeback like Vinyl?"
I doubt it. Vinyl has so much charm and it alters the audio quality in a way that other media doesn't. I think cds will remain dead. Like minidiscs! |

I had completely forgotten about minidiscs! I bought one to replace my Sony CD Walkman which I had to carry around like a dinner plate because it wouldn’t fit in my pocket.
Ah, the nostalgia. |

I loved my CD Walkman. Even with the 'anti-shock technology', if you walked like a normal person, everything was a remix! |

"I have a video player
.and also a game boy colour and game boy advance that I still use.
Cali "
I wish I still had a video player. They can be quite useful.
Somewhere I have an original Game Boy. Tetris is still one of my 5 favourite games. I have a couple of colours but, I need to swap some parts round so I have one that works, rather than 2 that don't! |

"outdated piece of technology you have, and still use?"
1966 VW beetle…1964 split screen Kombi… the list could go on… I will never own or drive an electric car for certain!
Still play my records and CDs through analogue valve amps via Linn, Chord and Audiolab components and have iPods to connect most music to my cars!
Still own my original Macintoshes from when I started career (but don’t use them)
I suppose in many ways the most outdated technology I use on a very daily basis is rather fancy German Fountain pens… I simply refuse to use anything but fountain pens… |

I'm with you on cars. I have a k11 Micra which is my vehicular pride and joy. |

"outdated piece of technology you have, and still use?"
I drive a 1999 Nissan Micra, and it has a tape player. I use a tape adapter with a 3.5mm jack on the end which I plug into a digital MP3 player on long trips. |

"To add to the above post . . I just saw that you drive a k11 Micra! Snap. Join the club! They're so rare these days!
Mines a 2000. She called Lydia, she has a silly bonnet scoop and I love her!"
I'm on my 2nd K11. Like you, I find a lot of joy in mine. I think they're wicked little cars. Bullet proof too.
Had the piss ripped out of me at work when I turned up in it. But I don't care. |

I was made fun of too. So I went and bought a brightly coloured graffiti style hoody to really lean into the midlife crisis! |

"Pencil.
Sometimes writing stuff down helps the memory "
One of my favorite quotes of all time… I will have to paraphrase but when talking about the space race it went something along the lines of:
“The Americans were faced with a huge problem a _tandard ball pen doesn’t work in space…. So they spent $500,000 inventing the fisher space pen, a ball pen that could write in zero gravity, it could write upside down, it could write under water and in below zero conditions… The Russians used a pencil” |

Sometimes invention is necessary. Other times it’s thinking around the problem. |
