  1. Maybe if you put the pants in there long enough, they will vaporize.

  2. It is generally accepted that "antique" when referring to furniture is 100 years old, for cars 50 years old (25 is "classic"), but I am not really sure on electronics. Curious, because I still have a good bit of functioning 70's and 80's tech. My 1984 Magnavox VHS is my pride and joy.

  3. My parents had a microwave they bought in like 1984-85. The thing was an absolute tank. In the early 2000's they had a kitchen remodel which included a new microwave mounted above the stove. They sold the old one at a garage sale, it still worked fine. My mom still talks about how ironic it was that the 20 year old microwave was better than the newer one, which died after a couple years. The old one was a Goldstar...known today as LG. I still have my old 1988 Goldstar 13" dial television, and use it for retro gaming. Still works great.

  4. I absolutely love the soprano sax music in the outro of all the Technology Connections videos. So 80s-early 90s. If that is Kenny G performing that number, even better yet.

  5. And none of them ever seem to show the correct time.

  6. Most of the technology we use today was invented at the most recent, in the 1970's, and many things long before that. Heck, we even went to the moon in 1969, and haven't left low earth orbit since 1972. Sure, specific items have advanced quite a bit since the early models, but really not many completely new innovations in everyday technology have come about in decades. EDIT : And before someone says "what about smartphones?", Phones have been around over 100 years, cellular technology since the 70's, computers since the 50's, and cameras since the 1800's. The smartphone is just an advancement in existing technologies.

  7. You still use a tv with a dial, don't you? And a rotary phone. To be honest, I actually do still use a tv with a dial. It's in my garage and I use it for old gaming systems. I would actually like an old school rotary phone if I could find one. I love old tech.

  8. Buy an LG. My family had a Goldstar (old company name of LG) from 1985 until the mid 2000's and sold it at a garage sale in working condition when they remodeled their kitchen. I bought a modern LG microwave when I bought my first house in 2007 and still use it today.

  9. Sounds like my old "two speed" air conditioner.
