Top 5 Retro Tech I Still Use TODAY!

I love the Chanel, I just wanted to point out that the decade starts on 2021. So 2020 is the last year of a decade.

I cannot believe that we are only a year apart in age

I can imagine you sitting sporting a walkman and playing with a game & watch among a group of gen zee ers playing with their iPhones and airbuds.

“2019 is about to end meaning a new decade is about to unfold”

Me in 2020.... hehe, he had no idea

i found an old game and watch panorama screen on the side of the road, it was in near perfect condition also it had DK JR. on it

I do be playing my game and watch every day

When the first Walkman came out I wanted it immediately. But they were expensive. A couple of years passed and I bought an Aiwa. Decent sound--which, as ever, can be improved dramatically by getting better headphones--and it came with two rechargeable batteries saved a bit of money over the years I had that one. It had a good FM tuner as well.
Been shooting film since '71 or so and I don't think of it as "retro" but I guess it is now. The Yashicas are good cameras and Olympus SLRs have some of the best viewfinders. I am shooting a Contax SLR nowadays and have a couple other rangefinder cameras I like a bit better than the Yashicas. Not because the Yashicas are bad but they are a bit large. If you can find one in decent condition I'll suggest the Agfa Optima 1535. Very good lens and the design is beautiful I think.
And then there's the Gameboy and its offspring. I still like playing some of those early games and I discovered your channel by way of your review of the "Handheld Game Console V90" which I have on its way to me now. I think being able to have all the Zelda games and a few others I liked available in that form factor will be very good.
Good content you're making, thanks for sharing it with us!

Haha the bottom shelf on the left has that retro football game I played as a kid.

I still love using feature phones, but since i have a smartphone and a bunch of apps need that phone number, all those beautiful personality filled phones lay dorment in my closet.

early stages of the ds

Vintage mechanical keyboards are a solid restoration project, especially for everyone working from home. If you haven't tried that yet, it's a fun and simple soldering project!

how do you transfer the song to the cassette tape

Dude!! 700 pounds for a mtb? Maybe 7000pounds. Check the prices. :)

These pre 2020 videos have such an eerie feel to them

No breaks on the bike?

What about all those vintage watches I see you wearing?!?!

I still love to use my VHS player. There are lot's of movies you can not get on DVD, Blueray or many streaming services.

omg you got a fixie bike!

Pewgit scoota

Dam that Peugeot fixy is awesome

Nostalgic.

that yellow walkman was my whole life in middle school in 1992/93, loved that thing, sadly, the cool kids always made fun of it and the yellow color , since they old had those sleek black ones, it was bad enough that they made me buy a black walkman, sadly my poor ass could only afford a casio one, and i really hated it a lot , but it made me join the ranks and they still felt good since i was considered as a lower entry into the gang....what a time it was to be alive, we didn't have phones, but we had walkmans, sony was the apple and the casios were the androids....

Lol man actually bought a bike.
It's a bit over a year later, do you still have it or has it been nicked?
In my experience, bikes are very much easy come, easy go.

Wow 700 ponds is expensive? My son just built a mountain bike that cost him $11,000!

oh my god. beautiful

Ah I love quid

5th gen ipod with an SD card conversion and 3000mAh battery... worth every penny

Man. You need to add the classic Casio G-Shock line to your arsenal :) so retro and practical as well. (you inspired me to mod 2 GBA's by the way)

I would also add the typewriter, and vinyl

I'm currently trying to get my Videocassette camcorder all together so I can use that.

Retro is coming back!

No Commodore Amiga?😀

WHAT IS THAT CARTRIDGE FOR THE OG GAMEBOY!!!! I NEED IT!

having the bike handles like that makes sense. miss my old bike I was given from the 80s.

You know a good device for copying cassettes to a Windows 10 PC? I hear a lot of cassette players now use a cheap off the shelf mechanism, causing playback to not sound quite right. I have some story cassettes from when I was little that are impossible to find and I’d like to preserve them!

You have no idea what happens in 2020

Tape hiss is real! Get some minidisc players fella. Sound amazing in comparison.
Cool bike.

I just found this video in 2022 and I can’t relate more to what you use! I have several cassette players and a large cassette collection. I LOVE my game boy and game boy color. I’m an avid film camera collector, and I love putting bikes together from older bikes! Great video! Would love to see more of this!

Nice video.. something different! Thanks.. glad I subscribed..

I love this video, old tech all does exactly what it was made to do! old =/= obsolete and in a day and age where people buy a new phone every other year why do that when i can carry around 5 different devices and feel more connected with them! so sick

Where do you get all of you items?

your 21? most of this stuff was obsolete when you were born , and by the time you were old enough to use it ,it was well gone ,its cool someone so young is into this stuff

As an 80s kid, the notion of Sony Walkmans being hard to find blows my mind. These things were as common as breathing air back then (I had the blue one, then the yellow Sports model which I loved).

Koss headphones are a great option for the tape players. I don't have cassettes, but I use the koss porta pro's and the kph30i all the time with my phone. They're very good for the price. I also recommend using yaxi pads on these headphones

I also have a 70's Schwinn road bike. I think it's a Le Tour 2. My ex gave it to me. She also gave me a DS lite with a copy of Mario Kart! Anywho, I enjoyed this video, Elliott, and I appreciate your work for the Gameboy community

I recently visited a local bike shop for bikes for the kids to go to highschool, when the owner told me he found 50 sport bikes from 1991 in an old storage they rented. So now I have a mint 1991 bicycle, and I cycle pass all them electric VanMoofs. Great lightweight steel frame from France.
You really need to get some VFD games from the G&W period. Those are even cooler than the Nintendo stuff. The LCD games suffer from very tight limits to control the screen, they refresh like 2-4 times a second with a maximum of 2 or 4x 36 sprites. A VFD microcontroller has 44 output pins, so it can in theory address 22x22 =484 sprites in up to 20 fps.
Maybe not as retro as this, but I also have love for Plasma/CCFL LCD TV's, Trinitrons, eighties digital synths, Windows Phones (my daily phone), and vintage kitchenware. There is nothing like a 1975 Philips Juicer. Nobody makes a thing that compares.

Damn this video was a time before the time 2023 currently

What is the flash on that camera called
