Do people actually toss away their stuff the moment an add for the next generation rolls out?
I grow up with a lot of technology much older that me because people still had it. Typically, a elderly house would have older stuff than people the age of my parent. I had new toys and stuffs from the last generation and plenty of older hand me down from older siblings and oncles.
It blows my mind to see some young people so uneducated about the very recent past. You didn’t live this time but the majority of the society in which you take part did. How could this be so exotic to you?
I still have every Nintendo console sold (except for game cube) starting at Nintendo - switch1. I lost the cube to an ex but the wii plays it’s games so
I’m am amateur musician who has gotten into recording over the last couple of years, and I’ve been buying old recording tech from 20 years ago for super cheap. I’m buying barely used gear that was hundreds of dollars (or more) when it was new, for less than $50. This is gear better than classic albums from the 70s and 80s were recorded on, and now it’s sitting on my desk. I’m having a blast.
