4. Walkman
Remember when we used to play cassettes on a cassette player? They were pretty popular back in the day. In 1979, Sony rolled out the Walkman so people could play their cassettes on the go. All you had to do was get yourself some flimsy form earphones, spare batteries and a stash of cassettes.
You couldn’t choose a specific song that you wanted to listen to using the Walkman. And you had to turn over the cassette to the other side once you finished listening to one side. Sometimes the Walkman would go crazy and chew up the tape. I still don’t know how we ever used this gadget, but it was pretty revolutionary back in the day.
