Cursive handwriting.
This was once an art form, a fine distinctive longhand was something to be proud of. Has anyone seen what passes for penmanship nowadays?
What is your favorite type of technology that’s outdated/not made anymore/obsolete, one that you miss?
I miss hearing music on vinyl. Older music sounds better on vinyl.
I miss conversations around the table or in the car or doing an errand. Now a days all you see is people with their noses in their phones, tablets, lap tops, etc.
I really miss this thing . . .
Can't believe I have to use a Delorean now . . . The fuel is so pricey!
I actually don't miss any of the old stuff . . .
Radio's using Tubes. They were so easy to fix. You got one good one, and the only thing that could ever go wrong was a tube burning out, and you just replaced it with a new one. With the new printed circuits and chips you must replace the entire radio if something goes wrong, so why bother getting a nice looking cabinet radio, with good speakers etc. If you are just going to trash it?
They're not totally obsolete yet, but I prefer books to e-readers. There is an emotional or psychological connection about holding a book. The smell. The feel of the pages in between your fingers. Holding on to the corner of the page as you are reading in anticipation about what is going to happen next. Also I think we do more damage to our eyes reading from a screen than from the pages of a book. At least mine seem to be bothered more from a lighted screen.
