LED lights are great, but I miss having a mini hot plate on my desk to mindlessly touch and burn my hand.

(Do kids even watch cartoons these days, or do they go into scrolling withdrawal before the first commercial break?)

    Kids today don’t know that until quite recently if you turned on the TV and you didn’t get any picture, you could give the thing a firm slap on the side and it would work.

      I miss the times where I just put my favorite cassette in a random player and heard an audio play for the night, without needing Spotify and searching for a specific episode

      And I’m 19

        I miss cassettes and vinyl records only for nostalgia’s sake. Realistically, they were a BITCH to handle and store with questionable lifetimes and middling audio quality.

          Never had problems with handling them, and analog quality is better for most purposes.
