There’s a fair amount of older technology that I am cheerful to see gone.
Despite what some may think about it, I never liked VCRs as well as home video cassette tapes.
So if you don’t consider the VCR maintenance as well as cleaning, the tapes themselves get increasingly worn as they’re used. Sometimes they get stuck inside the VCR itself after magnetic tape starts spooling outside of the cassette enclosure. Once DVDs hit the market in the 1990s, I was ecstatic with the swings. As long as you don’t scratch the disks, you are always getting a perfect picture of the film you’re seeing. With high definition disks, you could see the film with exceptionally high video quality. Although there are still holdouts who care about using VCR tapes, it’s always a good thing to see that society at large embraced the technological advances when they eventually hit the market. You’d think these paradigm shifts would occur in so many markets, however they don’t. I’ve been using an ancient window cooling system for the past 4 years. When I moved into this house to get closer to our job, I wasn’t too distraught about using an ancient window cooling unit. But in the years since, I have grown to don’t like this machine. I have now gone to the store to find better air conditioning technology, but all I find are more window cooling systems as well as portable cooling systems which have lower energy efficiency by comparison. I only wish that ductless mini splits were mainstream enough to find them at department stores. For some reason, you still have to go to a hardware store to purchase a single as well as they’re not even remotely cheap. I want a single eventually, however I just can’t afford a single right now.
