With the Nokia 3310 celebrating its 15th birthday, we’ve come over all nostalgic and have put together a list of 10 pieces of tech that we used to have. Anyone else wish their phone still had snake?
?1. Floppy Disc
The closest we get to these now is when we hit the save button on Word.
2. Video Tapes
We used to rewind for what seemed like hours to find our programmes. Does anybody else still call it 'taping' when recording on our fancy new machines?
3. Casette Tapes
You’ve never known a real challenge until you have sat for ages with a pencil rewinding one of these manually.
4. Portable Cassette Player
Music on the go? Amazing.
5. Boombox
If you really wanted to get the whole neighbourhood involved you could put one of these on your shoulder and pretend you had street cred.
6. Film Camera?
Ah the days of having to pay to get a film developed and see if our pictures had come out right. There was no way we'd risk selfies with these!
7. Tamagotchi
Have you fed yours lately?
8. Handheld Calculator
With one of these on every phone, unless you're in school you probably won't have any use for it anymore. Unless you want to spell out those rude words...
9. Sega Megadrive? or Dreamcast
There were three buttons and four directions, none of this complicated analogue and top button stuff. Plus we miss Sonic the Hedgehog.
10. Typewriters
If you didn't want to handwrite something but instead wanted that formal touch then a typewriter was the way forward. Try not to mistype!
?We'll give an honourable mention to instant cameras and vinyl record players, but these have gone full circle and are very much in use and what all the cool kids have these days.
