Cellphones with keyboards. Firewire and esata. WEP Encryption. Didn't see the beginning but saw the end of analog tv. Not really dead for everyone but like... Tivos and dvrs sorta came and went for me. In my adult life I've never had cable television or home phone service something that is surprising to my grandparents.
I remember those things that like... ran credit cards by impressioning them into paper. Haven't seen those since the 90s.
There's also certain things I thought I'd see more when I was a kid from reading books. Dumb waiters, laundry shoots, and pneumatic tubes turn out to not be very common sadly.

An imprinter? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_imprinter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_imprinter I saw one of those being used not even 10 years ago, though it was at an admittedly hipster establishment.
- MivLives 4y agoYeah that's the one. I don't think it'd even work on my current card, as there's no raised lettering.
