Oldest bit of tech?

[Shru1kan]

A pager. Yup. Have no idea why.

wtf do pagers even do???

OT: i have a psp 1000. an original xbox madcatz controller. original xbox memory card. i guess that stuff isnt that old compared to some other things.

Goddamn Kids. It's like sending a text msg. Except the receiver can only do that, he must call the no. to respond. It only receives, and diplays the phone no. from. No keys for typing, or any usefulness.

kid? im not fucking 12. i knew they sent a phone number. i just didnt know why. it sounds like the most useless piece of hardware ever. unless your a doctor i guess.

Whats with the anger? Pagers weren't popular back in their hayday anyways. My dad had one, he hated and never used it.

no anger. lol. thats just me. i thought they were popular. i remember seeing people on tv with them all the time...i think?

Not you, Maxwell. My bad.

Guess you guys aren't pack rats like my family is. I think we still have some circuits with the old vacuum tubes rather than transistors.

12, 15, 18, 22, you're a kid. If you haven't seen casablanca, ben-hur, and true grit, haven't had sex, and been in love, never drank in a pub, never crossed an ocean, and never held a job, you're a kid. If all of these requirements aren't met. Kid, Child, Young'n.

 

[Shru1kan]

Good to know I'm not a kid then.

But its perfectly understandable for people to not know what a pager does.


Just.... to the topic please?

Never crossed an ocean... If all of these requirements aren't met. Kid, Child, Young'n.

That's half of the US population if my information's not horribly outdated.

Probably, and more than half of the U.S. population don't deserve to be called adults, let alone 'people'.

I think my computer is about as old as all of the members on this site together... But it still manages to play L4D2! Thanks, Source Engine! But fix that fucking charger being blocked by large grass stalks, it's ridiculous!

I'll say my oldest computer part, cause it's more impressive. It's a GeForce 2. I've been using the computer with it until last month.

Oldest advanced thing (if that makes sense) I have is a black and white TV from when tvs started to be for the home.

Also LOL at the people saying VCR, I can't believe those are considered old now, I regularly use mine!
