Will you use some device or gadget is out of fashion

gugleguy

So what kind are you? Is using that CD Player nowadays in public ok to you, or do you only tell your closest friends that you have a Sony Xperia L smartphone, one that the rest of the Irish masses seemed to ignore. Or do you rigorously adhere to what your own peergroup does, or whatever clique you are in?

I'm in the doctors wearing a string vest, dungarees and a duffel coat.

What do you think?

Where are the questions for people out of their teens?

I use a stereo tape adapter to play my iPod through my car stereo I like the look of the stock stereo in the car and unfortunately it has a tape deck instead of a CD player. I hide it when I see cool people

I,m still not clear I'm afraid. Are you a doctor or one of the patients. This has a bear on which clique you are in.

SV

Everyone will vote for the second option but in reality, doesn't go that way at all

danniemcq

Plus OP your poll isn't great,

what about the PC Masterrace? What if you have a phone cause you like the phone? What if you buy the phone thats "in" due to the specs being what you need, big screen easy to root, flashable? What if you match the first three but no fashion sense?

I still watch VHS videos.




Posted from my Commodore 64.

My father is the worst for this. He decided it was a much better investment to buy a beetamax video instead of VHS. So when everyone was renting videos from xtravision, we had to make do with the sh*te that we recorded off the telly. Saying that though it must have lasted about 15 years even with all of the abuse that we gave it.

Another time, I asked for a playstation for xmas. They guy in the shop convinced him that the Nintendo 64 was a far better machine - fair enough, pretty decent. However, he didn't get a game with the console so when I opened it up on xmas morning, all I had to look at for 4 days was a grey box. Nothing was open until the 29th December. Still though Zelda was class, once I got it.

Blame porn,

Betamax was superior to VHS but porn was released on VHS so it took over.

If a CD walkman wasn't really irritating, I'd probably still own one. However I like going for a brisk walk without my music skipping and jumping constantly.

Hello, Hello, Hello, Yeah , Yeah... Are you there ? Hello.

Sorry I was talking on my Bluetooth headset there.

Why do some people still use these things, and why is it always when they are in a shop in front of you.

anncoates

I change my phone about once a year and my laptop about every 2 years (3 years maximum) because I like having the highest specification for the devices I can get, seeing as I use them so much, and it's nice to see how they are evolving.

It's ridiculous to think that a choice like that would be informed by fashion.

To be fair, zany types that ostentatiously hold on to very old technology are making far more of a fashion statement than people that update their technology regularly.

As regards other technology like TVs and whatnot, I wouldn't really care. My current TV is about a year old but I'll use it for as long as it lasts.

They are very handy when you need your hands for doing something else.

I will vote you as the first option in the poll. There is no appeals process.

Discman with 15 second Anti-Shock, now that was a breakthrough.

danniemq you win: you are on Yahoo which does not have Irish mainstream following compared to the all hallowed Facebook.

My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

EDIT: ha, its been fixed, now says 44 votes instead of 25,029, lol what was that!

I carry a casette player, a pencil for skipping tracks and some overly large headphones so that I get noticed.

Well when the silent majority of Irish can't beat some FAD, by default they JOIN IT. Yeah I'm a bit of a fly in the hunky dory ointment I suppose sometimes. Goddam blue ass flies. Still around in Dublin with this old winter. Sure Irish weather's never right either.

I bought my current phone 3 years ago, by my mate's standards it's prehistoric. I don't do downloads, I collect CDs, vinyl and still listen to cassettes (until they get eaten).

I do have to change the stereo every year or two but it's cheap and they don't make things to last these days, anyways

If you wanna make suit trouser last make the jacket first

RoboRat

Still use my mega drive 2 but only for sensible soccer

I only got a smartphone about 3 months ago and that was purely because it was handy for travel

I have a Mexico '86 kit bag that I have had since '86 when I was a nipper and still use it as its so good quality.

I still have tapes and I use them, cant be bothered to find and buy the CD's or MP3's

I drove old cars until recently because they were reliable and you could service them without having to plug them into a bloody diagnostic. I wish I still drove them after the fiasco of my turbo going... again.. and again... and again. A car is a functional piece of equipment, it gets me from a to b and I don't care what it looks like.

I will never engage with e-books, I like my paper books
