Revolutionary gadgets: If you own at least one outdated gadget, put your hand in the air and wave it like you just don’t care. No? Okay, well I still own a non-flat screen black and white TV.

I could go about my everyday life using ancient technology. Hey, I’ve seen people make calls from a payphone and others subscribe to dial up internet.
According to the Consumer Electronics Association, 60% of people don’t mind waiting a long time before upgrading to newer and better technology. Only 13-15% are enthusiastic about adopting new technology.
I’m guessing people hesitate to upgrade because they prefer the simplicity of what they already have. Before I bought my very first smartphone, I liked my Nokia C2 just fine. And when I finally bought my smartphone, it took me nearly two week to finally use it properly.

This is probably the oldest word processor that you can buy today. Your children probably won’t understand (depending on when they were born) that there was a time when we didn’t have computers, smartphones and tablets.
When this gadget first hit the market, it was considered the most sophisticated device a professional could own. I mean, could it get any better than owning something that could type and print simultaneously?
Too bad, it didn’t come with a copy-paste, backspace or save-documents feature. If it did, then it would have been epic, don’t you think?
