Throwback Thursday: Check out this stone-age tech
It’s Throwback Tech Thursday! Check out this collection of stone-age tech that will bring back those nostalgic memories. You can thank me later.
In tech, we’re always looking forward, never looking back.
Earlier today, Lauren Goode of Recode tweeted a pic of her old Sony Discman CD player, soon to be followed by a flood of #TBT (Throwback Thursday) pics.
Here’s a roundup of some the best #TBT tech pics.
Sony Discman portable CD player (don’t take it running, it skips)
The Talkboy, whatever that is…
Nano Puppy – not to be confused with Tamagotchi…
The original Nintendo, with the approximate footprint of a small server…
An ancient Apple computer (take your guess…)
A Zune, still in its box…
Viewmaster, because why not take a magical journey back to 1985…
A pager – to alert you to call the person who paged you…
Zip disks (if you have no idea what these are, just nod and smile)
A 1990s alarm clock, or how you know you’re in a really shitty motel…
iMacs and the dogs who (still) love them
The Casio calculator watch, revered among nerds everywhere

I thought the Sony Discman was the greatest thing ever. One day just as I was actually gonna purchase one, it hit me like a pie in the face of how outdated the the technology became….practically overnight it seemed. I’m just slow on the uptake.
