Question of the Day

[potentiality_26]

questionoftheday asks: What part of today’s society and technology do you look at and immediately feel old comparing to related things from when you were younger?

My answer: I've been hurting for my old VHS tapes recently, if that counts. I had so much good stuff that I basically can't access these days. (Yes, I know it would be possible, if I got a hold of a working VHS player, to digitize them- but it's the principle of the thing.)

What makes me feel old more than anything (and I'm hardly old) is things I took for granted growing up literally not working anymore.

See, a lot of the things I had taped were miniseries that only ever got limited DVD releases. It's possible to buy them used at very high prices, but it just... irks me because I have them, right over there.

Yeah, things are definitely changing fast!
