What is something considered outdated that you still use??

I got the piss ripped out of me today for having an old iPod from 2002/3 still on the go, using it regularly in the kitchen or in the car.
My brother still uses vhs to tape the soccer highlights.

I have an old keyboard from the 1980s I use daily at my computer.

I use phones until they die of exhaustion. I use an old Nokia, and like it.

I'm currently watching TV.

NAD turntable to a Jolida valve amp in my hifi. No tone controls. No flashy lights. No bass boost. No surround sound. No remote control. Based on an early 60's design. Sounds godlike.

The oldest thing I can think of that I use is playing an old video game console.

But on the subject I never got the whole "receiving odd looks" or "laughs" when saying you use a thing that's seen as outdated

If you're happy with it and it sill works then who cares!

House is wired for, and most of our TV watching is on, analogue cable. 16 channels at least makes it quicker to see nothing's on.

I have an old belt driven milling machine, which I use as a piller drill. Probably heading for 100 years of age. The name plate says "Empire made"

charlietheminxx · 15-01-2017 03:32AM

I use an old iPod too! I love it.

toptom · 15-01-2017 03:33AM

Still have a 22inch mitsubishi black diamond thats working perfect, Have it in the kitchen ill watch the sport on it if my wife is watching the main tv. The eldest bought me a flatscreen for my birthday several years ago but I put it in the youngfellows room

Not so much an outdated item, as an outdated concept.
I will try to repair, or get repaired something that's broken, rather than replace it.
Even if the cost of the repair is only slightly less than replacing it
I hate seeing things thrown out, when they could be fixed. Its the disposable era I suppose, but its such waste.
I gave away a perfectly good TV a few years ago to get a brand spanking new smart telly and I still regret it.

Also have a tractor coming up on 40 years old. ....deos the jobs for me...why would I change??

Outlaw Pete · 15-01-2017 03:43AM

Using my Dad's old 3310 the past few days as my phone is being repaired.

I dread the day it won't switch on for me when I need an emergency phone.

Incidentally, will they be switching off 2G signals some day? Like they did with the old analog terrestrial TV signal?

Hope not as even I not only do I rely on it for the old Nokia now and again, I also have a dual sim Mi4C and one sim uses 2G while the other is using 3G/4G.

I use Boards.ie all the time.

Does windows 7 count?

I still use my xbox 360,and still play gta3 (from 2001) on ps2 or emulated...still better than gta 5.

I also have a proper analogue watch, no fancy casio digital watches for me!

Very unlikely. Easy to support on the same hardware as 4G even and too much random stuff uses it - alarms, monitoring systems for anything and everything etc.

Not so much outdated considering they are still used and produced, but CDs. Constantly buying them!
