> We don't really use much tech from 50 years ago, hardly any from 100 years ago, and it just gets worse from there. Printing presses, microfiche, film, radio, telephones, television, computers, light bulbs, electrical sockets, toasters, cars, bicycles, electric stoves, speakers, microphones, projectors, etc. Technology is not nearly as fickle as you'd think. Remember, 50 years ago is only 1960. VHS tape technology is almost 40 years old. Sure, things are moving faster now, but things that work tend to stick around.
