Gadgets of the Past Coming To Haunt Us.
Everything has a past. The human race, as well as electronic gadgets, all started somewhere. I mean, the walkman started the iPod, the TV built in a wooden console began the big screen TV (maybe that is a stretch), and the birth of wireless everything all started with a cord. But we often replace the older version without a second thought, never again to think about them untile we are faced with a garage sale or flea market. I was checking out youtube, as I often do, and came across this video of a blast from the past. Gadgets that were hip 25 years ago, to be more specific. Take a look, and you will see that not only were gadgets in their earlier phases, but also hair styles were something that needed attention.
Can you imagine getting all hyped up over that stuff? I guess I remember way back when, loving the fact that they added a cassette player to the AM/FM walkman. And then the CD players…remember those? Pretty soon all of our iPods will be extinct, although I am not sure what they could replace those with. Give it time, I am sure they are thinking of something.
