CDs are on their way out. DVDs are just starting to fade.
Being able to tell analog time.
Soda vending machines in school.
A decent education system in America.
There were vending machines at school during the 90's. I would often get a drink during lunch period! It was great!
I also remember when TVs had antennas and we had a limited number of channels to watch.
"Be Kind Please Rewind" is what it says on my copy of Kirby for the NES. I kid you not, BlockBuster actually put that sticker on the game cartridge. I still have yet to figure out how to make Kirby violently vomit up all the enemies he swallowed through his adventure :/
That said, I vote Rotary Phone. Prank calling as a kid was just an accident. I just liked to watch the dial spin around in Circles. Now you can't really even use the phone since all of those automated help systems require a touch tone phone ;_; I refuse to give up my antique!
Pogs, beanie babies, cabbage patch kids, pound puppies, fraggle rock, Teddy Ruxpin...Ill think of more to add later.
8mm and 16mm film cameras
DVDs as Shlup said (will be replaced entirely by blu-ray eventually)
Geocities
Steve Jobs
AOL (it's going)
Duckhunt
Face (from Nick)
Why are those CD cases inside of CD sleeves?Quote:

I have a "video disk" larger than any record at my house. Looks like a cd on both sides, but is 36 in wide.
A laserdisc? How smurfing big were those things.Quote:
