Did mid 2000s tech have the shortest lifespan ever

I remember my econ teacher in high school telling everyone to invest in Iomega Zip Drives like they were going to take over

Grand opening. Grand closing.

I held on to the iPod longer than I'd like to admit (SPOILER: 2016). I had a trampoline in the backyard and I used to go outside, jump, and listen to music. It was great exercise. After the last one passed, I actually contemplated buying another one. I went to Walmart, took a look at the prices, and was like, "There is no fukking way that I'm paying that much for an iPod. " You'd think those things would be affordable to buy. It doesn't matter now though, because the trampoline rotted out in 2017 so I'm down both now.

I got a lot out of the GPS too. It helped me get to Morristown and other places. It was a handy and helpful device.

Depressing to think about all the garbage

Sometimes I'll take some stuff to the local dump... they have a big ass section with nothing but people's old and broken tech. TVs, computers, whatever

shyt is so fukking wasteful

I still use my iPod mini/nano/whatever.

If my OG iPods still worked I'd use them.

Same

I had one lol they were so affordable. Chromebook ultimately put a bullet in them along with better more affordable tablets and better smartphones.

id rather text and drive

I actually work for Garmin so I can tell you alot of people still use them lol.

 

[Greenhornet]

This is the reason Radioshack went under. All these cheap electronics got replaced by one expensive smart phone.

All i need now when i leave the house is my Iphone

back in the day i needed a cd player, a fliphone, a wallet, a gameboy, a disposable camera, spare batteries, a watch, and backpack to keep it all in.

My Dad still uses an external GPS even though he has an iphone

BREH....BREH....I will go to my grave still laughing/smiling about this but a cpl years ago I bought my pops a new car, and I remember when I was visiting my parents a few months later he and I decided to go to a family friends house who lives in a rural part of the state....we go up there to shoot guns, fish and go hiking all while talking about life. Pops is getting older now so i really cherish that shyt. He insists on driving. I'm loading everything up and as I get in....

NOT only does my dad have his old school Garmin, even though the car has integrated navigation etc...he also STILL had a little bluetooth speaker phone that I had given him YEARS ago because for some reason his OLD car's bluetooth system had some software glitch that would cause the connection to go out (and switch back to the phone's audio) at random times

My dad loves getting new gadgets and shyt, but he HATES not knowing how to do something and thus having to ask for help. And once he has mastered how to use a certain gadget he's sticking with it for the long haul. So many contradictions lmao

I'm like you know you don't need to use this, the car has all of that shyt in it already!

He just laughs and tells me to set it up for him.

i still use my ZUNE
