    PM For Zeity - the future is calling

    Obsolete technologies that will baffle modern children: in pictures - Telegraph

    Alas no punchcards.

    I remember those things they used to have in supermarkets where documents were sent by a tube. Or a sort of zip wire thing.

    PS Nintendo Game Boy sounds bit gay.

      Popular in the 90s and 80s, walkie talkies provided a way of short range, audio communication - well before mainstream adoption of the mobile phone.
      Walkie Talkies are still useful where there's crap reception or when you want to use them continuously without breaking the bank.
      Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

        Yeh. Still got some walkie talkies. Except on very rare day out with young nephews, never actually use them. Big problem is only 4 channels. Nephews are talking crap to each other and a local field ranger butts in, hello where is my tractor?.

        Same with radio CCTV. One of the four channels on mine has a lovely view of an adjacent factory's oil tank.

          What's wrong with two cans and a bit of string?
