Every second, something new appears in our world, the old disappears, or that which turned out to be unclaimed among people. Not everyone is willing to say goodbye to the old, so collectors are willing to pay a lot of money to purchase something that has long been out of the shelves.
Those who are nostalgic for the forgotten old can always look for things that mentally return them to the past ...
If you just love to learn new things, and you are interested in remembering what things we used to use, take a look at the selection.
10. VCR
Everyone once had VCRs, even if someone still has them, then the percentage of these people is very small.
The shops even had special points with cassettes, where everyone could rent a cassette with a movie to watch on the weekend.
In addition, if an interesting film, video clips or some kind of program was broadcast on TV, people could record it on a tape and enjoy watching it at any time.
Now you do not need to wait for anything - on the Internet you can see everything.
9. Reference
Telephone directories, as well as encyclopedias, can still be found in stores, but not all. There are also special groups in which "antique lovers" gather, and are engaged in the sale, purchase and exchange of things. Among them can be found reference books and encyclopedias.
It is difficult to find a directory in stores because it is not necessary - people used it when it was required to find the phone number of an organization or person. Now everything can be learned from the Internet.
8. Mailing letters
This is not to say that letters completely disappeared from people's lives. Some still prefer to exchange letters, because it is romantic and interesting. Wait for the letter with enthusiasm to read its contents ...
Now people are exchanging instant messages, no one has to languish in anticipation of an answer - because of this, communication ceases to be intriguing, as if it is losing something.
Once upon a time, people could only communicate with each other using letters, because calls to another city were expensive. Now parcels are being sent by mail, and paper letters have become very rare.
7. Photographic film
Once in the shops they showed the film and sold photo albums - they were bought for themselves or for someone as a gift. All people were looking forward to the development with anticipation - it was very interesting to see what happened in the photo.
Now some people also use film cameras, but for the most part this is done in order to stand out from the others - after all, they are put on the network for everyone to see, and not just left for memory. This is already talking about something.
Previously, there were few photos, and people carefully kept them in albums, and now people take pictures of everything and upload to Instagram, which becomes very boring and annoying.
6. Landline telephone
Once a landline phone was in everyone’s house and in all organizations - now, due to their uselessness, they are becoming less and less.
People called up in the evenings and made an appointment in advance. It is difficult to imagine, but it was necessary to identify the exact time and place for the meeting, people could not get a mobile phone, call a friend and ask: “Where are you?”, Because they did not have phones.
It is difficult for youth to imagine that the phones were not equipped with the Internet, they did not have a camera and they could not exchange messages ...
5. Calculator
Not a single student could do without a calculator, if only one of them was a genius in mathematics. Examinations were solved using battery-powered calculators — some good teachers allowed them to be used in the classroom.
But the calculator is able to perform only one function - mathematical calculations. He can no longer be useful in anything. Now all the calculations can be done on the phone, so the calculators are out of use.
4. Pager
This device was used for text messaging - you can say a prehistoric phone. In order for a person to be able to send a message to a pager, he had to first dial the operator’s number, then inform the subscriber’s number, and then dictate his message.
It was impossible to call from him, but only to send messages. Not all pagers were used - some were limited to messages to agree in advance or to say something important.
3. The busy signal
Probably, many of you have already forgotten how you used to feel real indignation at the fact that when you called a number, you heard beeps. People were nervous, waiting 5, 10 minutes to try to call again ...
Now there is no problem with this - even if someone’s mobile is busy, you can send a message and they will call you back. The plus of the signal was that the person knew that the person he was calling was at home, and in case of urgency they could be reached or reached. If now a person does not pick up the phone, it can mean anything ...
2. Notebook
Almost no one uses the notebook, but they are still sold. Previously, they recorded phone numbers, significant dates, recipes, etc. Almost every person could find a notebook in the hallway on the shelf next to the phone.
Now they are not needed - people store all the information in their mobile phones, and paper records are made only in some cases - when you don’t want to leave important information on the phone.
1. Watches
There are still shops with watches and watch repair shops, but people are increasingly less likely to use watches. Now they are used rather as a stylish accessory, as an addition to the image, it is unlikely for anyone they have practical value. After all, time can be seen on the phone.
From a useful and necessary thing, a wristwatch has migrated into a stylish thing - now you can see various interesting models on various online sites and stores, but we all know that they are used as a bracelet.
