The Golden Age Of Technology

Remember the Gameboy? What about the Talkboy? Old technology is both funny and awesome; not only is it great to reminisce about what used to be, back in the “glory days” of technology, but it’s hilarious to see where we used to be, back when we thought we were modern.

Looking forward, the “cutting edge” products out right now (Google Buzz, The Droid and iPhone, etc.) are really just going to be clanky, annoying, funny and outdated “has-beens” — and for some, in just a year or two worth of time.

Modern becomes vintage seemingly overnight, as the new modern takes its place. Modernity, like time, is forever moving, changing, continuing without end. Ok, enough with the philosophy.

So with that, take a look at this article from Web Designer Depot. With the exception of my two favorite vintage technologies (the aforementioned Gameboy and Talkboy), this is an all-inclusive list of some of the funniest and most awesome vintage technologies that we don’t use anymore. Remember when the Discman was popular?

So tell us – what was left off the list? What vintage technologies would you add?
