MP3 player. Sometimes it’s nice to just listen to music without the phone distractions.

I wonder if they’ll make a comeback like Vinyl?

You know, just the other day I found my old Sony Walkman! I don't think I have any cassettes though.

I doubt it. Vinyl has so much charm and it alters the audio quality in a way that other media doesn't. I think cds will remain dead. Like minidiscs!

I had completely forgotten about minidiscs! I bought one to replace my Sony CD Walkman which I had to carry around like a dinner plate because it wouldn’t fit in my pocket.

Ah, the nostalgia.

I loved my CD Walkman. Even with the 'anti-shock technology', if you walked like a normal person, everything was a remix!

I wish I still had a video player. They can be quite useful.

Somewhere I have an original Game Boy. Tetris is still one of my 5 favourite games. I have a couple of colours but, I need to swap some parts round so I have one that works, rather than 2 that don't!

1966 VW beetle…1964 split screen Kombi… the list could go on… I will never own or drive an electric car for certain!

Still play my records and CDs through analogue valve amps via Linn, Chord and Audiolab components and have iPods to connect most music to my cars!

Still own my original Macintoshes from when I started career (but don’t use them)

I suppose in many ways the most outdated technology I use on a very daily basis is rather fancy German Fountain pens… I simply refuse to use anything but fountain pens…

I drive a 1999 Nissan Micra, and it has a tape player. I use a tape adapter with a 3.5mm jack on the end which I plug into a digital MP3 player on long trips.

"Pencil.

One of my favorite quotes of all time… I will have to paraphrase but when talking about the space race it went something along the lines of:

“The Americans were faced with a huge problem a _tandard ball pen doesn’t work in space…. So they spent $500,000 inventing the fisher space pen, a ball pen that could write in zero gravity, it could write upside down, it could write under water and in below zero conditions… The Russians used a pencil”

Sometimes invention is necessary. Other times it’s thinking around the problem.
