Seeing DVDs, iPods, and CDs made me feel like a centenarian when I’m 19
Exactly it’s crazy
Right??? Like now I feel like how my parents feel with VCRs and Blockbuster and stuff lol.
@@GODISGOODBRO What’s worse is that I still remember those too. We had dvds and streaming but I always begged to go to the local Blockbuster and my dad still has old tapes to this day!
@@brambleheart lol!! Dang, so I assume you felt like a centenarian around your friends and now with this current generation?
@@GODISGOODBRO yeah lol. My friends feel the same way. It’s mostly kids born after 2008 who see these as old!!
I can understand little kids not knowing what a VHS tape is, but to hear them say, "What's a CD? DVD?" , that hurts a little.
L
Im pretty sure they know what a cd/dvd is
Then it's not you. It's them.
@@WeatherMan2005they don’t everyone is skibidi gyatt brain rotted people nobody knows what crash bandicoot is anymore
@@dozfoz123 What the actual fuck are you on about
Calling all of these devices vintage, except for the type writer, makes me feel so old.
What about slide projectors? I don't know anyone under the age of 40 to can say that they actually used one in school/home.
Yeah I get VHS but DVD? There’s still a lot of people who buy DVD’s lol. If we’re calling them vintage then I guess I’m an old fart despite being only 16
@@eddiew.4650 yes those were used when I was in elementary school
I’m 40 years old so I remember vhs tapes and the birth of the vcr in 1986
fr like even the flip phones when they were still around in the early 2010s??
QWERTY was made to slow down typing because people would type too fast and jam the typewriter.
If we reverted back to ABCDEF it would jam us!

The amount of stuff smart phone replaced is insane
That’s capitalism and Corporatism for you
@@JonathanHeydh-vy4ywTechnology advances like normal
But some of these stuff still exists in the Marketing
Most of them are yeah, a bit expensive, since they're more rare
But stuff such as flip phones are still sold for cheap
@@JonathanHeydh-vy4ywAs if convenience and advancement in technology isn't good for consumers...
@@JonathanHeydh-vy4yware you sure? A smart phone is an all-in-one device that’s infinitely more convenient for consumers than 20 separate media formats/devices that nowadays would all be subscription based or some crap like that lol. In this case it’s a good example of the market actually providing a useful gadget
@@frostyfrenchtoast useful my ass and most of the consumers are brainwashed so fuck consumerism and capitalism and this culture in general
Dang, the DS era was something else. Crazy how some kids don't even know what it is!! You really had to be there
I was around then but still dont own one lol
Nah I’m a kid (13 almost 14) I know what a DS including every other Nintendo Console. And it was such a revolutionary device. It introduced Mario in 3d on the go!
I literally still have the 3ds xl (the original one, not the "new" one) that my mum had
I also remember having a pink ds lite when i was younger and it was the first time that i was exposed to gaming :,)
@@icestrm2778I have a ds lite too and a 3ds xl (but its new). Those consoles still go hard.
I'm 18 but i didn't have a ds, sadly :(
Plenty of people nowadays use cds and dvds. And they sell vinyl records at Walmart now too.
Yeah this vid kinda feels condescending ngl
Like most of us know what a typewriter is or what a ipod of a cd or a flip phone
We seen media we have the internet we know what these are
They dont sell them at the walmart near me
@@endcaps1917 Its great for archival purposes because this tools We not be used forever so We need to archive them here and now so that the people of 3000 can know what DVD is
@@sqyx93HMV store or Amazon
I remember using DVDs to watch movies like it was yesterday 🥺 (my childhood was mostly spent in the 2010s so streaming wasn't that big yet)
Just goes to show how much streaming has changed home media forever 😭
Same i'm 18
I really hate streaming half the movies are region locked and some services have you pay to watch a movie as-well as the service and its slowly becoming cable again
Not really physical will make a comeback
i used a dvd to watch a movie yesterday bruh
Portable radios are still being made. Sony makes one that is only 25 dollars, and it's amazing. Plus, they still have their uses during emergencies.
Eh, these cheapo ones aren't that amazing. Questionable sensitivity and selectivity are the norm. Analog tuned ones tend to be particularly bad and are often plagued by frequency drift. This seems to be mostly the newer ones, it seems like the more vintage ones from the 70s and 80s are less problematic in that regard.
If you want something amazing, almost any TEF6686 based radio will do the job. And also more expensive radios from brands like Tecsun and Sangean. Admittedly, the battery life on the higher end ones can be somewhat questionable compared to the crappier ones, but you do get better filtering on bands like shortwave and more stable tuning.
You forgot about floppy disks and casset tapes
The fact that these are called vintage, hurts.
A lot of theise arnt ventage yet. Dvds are still a thing
@@WeatherMan2005fr same as flip phones
@@WeatherMan2005so when exactly does something become vintage?
@@BuggsOp probably when they stop getting made for one. And after many years. Probably 20+ years. Im no expert its just my guess
That’s because this so called culture like western and American suck
As someone who still buys CDs this scares me. Btw I buy them because the music quality is better than streaming can provide and I enjoy having my own personal library.
I saw a study that says that vinyls produce the best quality sound
Modern vinyl is made from digital files anyways, and all analogue media does is add distortion to the signal which is what people prefer about analogue. Without getting into the nitty gritty that's the core of the debate between the two, but the real answer is-
it's just whatever you prefer lol
@@brambleheart Only to people trying to justify the cost and purchase of it. The world’s most perfect turntable will hiss and have what they call “warmth.” Which is in reality just the flaws in a record. Which they all have. Digital will always be a higher quality since it’s digital 1 and 0s instead of grooves in a piece of plastic.
I still buy CDs for the same reasons. In my opinion owning a physical media collection is always going to be better than just renting access to a lot of music and the sound quality is better.
@@therealwhite
But vinyl is arguably more better than CD's because unlike them, you can only push vinyl so hard before it sounds rough and distorted.
Ironically by using an older format, you can enjoy music without the loudness war.
10:16 hits different when watching this video on a Galaxy Flip
The z flip is really cool tbh, but it's expensive

Danke!
you are wrong about fast typing for qwerty - it is oposite! Typewriters had so much mistakes so comon letters was separated and people typed slower. There is layouts like dvorak for fast typing but qwerty is oposite.
I wish smart phones never got so advanced because we lost so much in the way of individual devices.
Everything needing an internet connection to be used now is just not right.
I wish we could go back to a more analog time. Where we were ironically more connected.
Yeah fuck capitalism and those big tech oligarchs at silicon valley
The default calculator app & phone call apps on the table:
It's social media that is to be blamed for the loss of IRL social connections, not the development of smartphones.
And having separate analog devices would only add more clutter in your room.
@@Theophan123 and capitalism and planned obsolescence as well and also he word smart is nothing but an annoying buzzword for capitalist liberals
@@Theophan123humans have been trying to find ways to ignore each other in public for eons. If it isn’t smartphones it’s iPods, Walkman, even newspapers, magazines, and books.
I remembered using my mother’s old typewriter when I was little. It looked liked from the late 50’s or early 60’s. Even a slide projector, electric typewriter, using a VCR, playing a Sony Walkman, and even having portable radios with tape cassette player. Even using computer in the early 80’s. Around 2011 started using a MP3 player to listening music while I was working out. In late July 2014 getting my 1st iPhone. I kind of still used a MP3 players a little bit,too just in case something is wrong with my iPhone. I forgot one thing that I did used a little bit was a pay phone a little bit when I was younger.
Omg how old are you? 😨
Keep making this type of videos on various topics. Love your videos and voice ♥️
QWERTY was designed to be as slow as possible, because original type writers would break if inputs were made too fast, not what was said at 0:59
I grew up using vhs and remember when dvds first became popular it was awesome not having to rewind your tape and they took up less space then later blue ray came out and that was next level now everything is just streamed , watching the rise and fall of dvds and mp3 players is crazy to think about since it was not that long ago
Same, I didn’t have a DVD player until high school and kept using my VHS tapes well into college.
All of that stuff I literally used all of it, and it's a nostalgia and brings back memories, we still have smartphones with all the technology we needed is at the palm of our hand...
Fuck capitalism and American and liberal culture
Did you just call DVD vintage?
Ohh lawd
its insane!
A lot of these are still useable in some cases, which says a lot about their innovation.
They were also made before planned failure
Yoooo....another video! Keep it up!
Leapfrogs, the Ipads of Gen Z

9:20. That phone booth and another a block away, are in Manhattan on West End Blvd at W 100th and 101st streets respectively on the NW corners.
They are cell conversions using a solar panel to keep the battery charged. They aren't land lines.
They simulate dial tone as well and you can actually make calls.
Great 👍 video. I’ve subscribed.
Bruh, iPhones were not universally bought back in the late 00s. Flip phones were still common back then.
Fr my mom used to own a flip phone back then, and i didn't know what a smartphone was
Yep, smartphones weren’t commonly used by everybody until about 2012/2013, when the iPhone 4 was released. Until then, they were seen as an expensive but innovative novelty.
@@sunshineimperials1600 2010-12 was that awkward transition phase between dumb and smartphones
I used a flip phone in the early 2010s actually.
@@mariowalker9048 Except, I've literally had flip phones that weren't dumb and could access the internet.
Ha! I still have DVDs and CDs that I can play on my car for the CD and DVD either on Xbox 360, I wish I didn't throw out my PS2, or my TV with DVD player attach on the back....
Man! I miss old tech! Floppy Disk drive, VHS, CRT monitor, and 11 previous Windows OS...
Edit: Great video! 😎👍
No mention of Betamax tapes, Laser Discs, Reel to Reel audio tape, Mini Discs, film cameras, Dictaphones and Shorthand?
The irony is how sometimes there’s need, use or want for some of these things still. I actually have been searching for a portable DVD/bluray with a screen for work. I sit in a place with no wifi, and although I can just use my unlimited phone/ipad data, I have movies on disk that I’d love to rewatch during my endless free time!
They still exist but it’s the weirdest market now.
Proud to say im keeping the flip phone legacy alive by owning one. It runs on android so i can still do most things. It helps prevent doom scrolling. i love it
Man we forgot thousands of old devices
No thanks to those robber barons of Silicon Valley
im a 2003 kid so i really didn‘t experience a lot of these in their prime but got introduced to nearly every single one at some point in my life.
i love vintage tech so much that i started collecting things like cds, walkmans, radios and camcorders, it is so fascinating
Ok how are cds and dvds vintage I’m 19 how are you making me feel old
I have grandkids that are younger than 19 and they know what cds are. DVDs too.
I'm not even an adult yet and I actually had a leapfrog. Although I didn't play it as much as another educational handheld I had, the V-Smile Pocket. Maybe because I had something like 13 games for the vsmile and only 2 games for the leapfrog, aside from a 3rd game and drawing program preinstalled on the leapfrog. Although I also had other Leapfrog products, including this interesting book think, where you put a booklet and matching cartridge inside and tapped on different parts of the page with a pen to interact with it. I also had this system called the Clickstart, which although was marketed as a PC for little kids with its keyboard, definitely fits the criteria for a game console, even if it was educational. Fun fact: The clickstart was also the closest I've ever come to a full console library, as I owned 8 of the system's 13 games. Although we gave it away a few years ago.
In 2024 I still use VHS, cassette tapes, CDs, DVDs and MP3 player.
I never knew CDs and DVDs are actually considered extinct. I love them and I have a whole CD collection in my house. I would always buy music albums on CD. Yes, streaming exists now but I think having a physical copy of it is much more satisfying.
This applies to DVDs as well. I don’t use DVD much but I also think it’s much more satisfying to have a physical copy of my favourite movie.
Most of my friends agrees with me so I never knew about it being considered outdated.
Miss my flip phone every day
No thanks to capitalism
"These days, the only reason owning a flip phone"
Not extinct
Reading the title, I thought that these devices went extinct in 12 minutes
Good vid!
Tbh CD/DVDs, Leapfrogs, The Gameboy-3DS line and FlipPhones are the Most Fascinating to Me
I love how leapfrogs has a homebrew scene nowadays, just like the Gameboy - 3Ds Line
And i love how the 3DS has DS, GBA, GBC and GB Hardware, All crammed into It
Makes me Wonder, if it could be modded to use GBA, DS and 3DS Hardware all the Same Time
Some Flip Phones used Non Android OSes, and Instead used stuff based on Java, Extremely Underpowered, but Fascinating
Having a Psychal Keyboard is an Advantage TBH
A really Great Video. Keep up the good work.
I took inspiration from you, and I hope to be successful as well
This man made everyone feel like a dinosaur
11:04
Or a modern type of flip phone like the Samsung Zflip line or Motorola Razr for people who want a phone that fits better in their pockets, even though they're sacrificing quality for portability
Typewriters might be old, but the manual ones that don't require electricity are amazing.
I have a Smith-Corona Super Sterling from the 60s and I use it pretty frequently.
And calling CDs and DVDs extinct makes it sound like you enjoy not owning your purchases
I'm glad I grew in a time of VHS and DVDs.
I have a flip phone, and I still use my DS yes I’m an adult but I can play poker with Luigi
You are a true legend. I as well still use a DS (I'm 13 turning 14 this year)
@@ItttsBubbles I modded my DS
@@spjulyer3124 Nice, how much did you get your r4 card for.
Wow I’m getting old 😢
I still use vhs
With DVDs and CDs I put all of that media on players or my tablet or cards at SD cards so I can wash them elsewhere but you still need the physical media just in case your copy gets ruined. If you have a streaming service, you might see a movie you like, but it may go away or it will go away, so that’s why you keep the physical media and you can keep making copies of all your media that’s music and video, they won’t go away for a while
CD and DVD are NOT extinct, especially CD, which is still very common for music.
And most anime still come in DVD.
Also they are not biological in sense of extinct they are objects not living beings and what is up with these broken terminology’s and grammars that Amerikkkans use?
@@JonathanHeydh-vy4ywthere’s 2 different English spellings gets kinda confusing
More people are buying records than CD

In the USA, because of nostalgia. Not in other countries such as Brazil and Japan.

Also floppy disk
After all these years the MP5 is still relevant and very useful!
I was born in 1992 and I can remember just about all of them! A lot of technology has advanced in my life. The landline phone is also not in use anymore, and soon the smartphone will be replaced by the hologram.
Has technology advanced so much that inventions become ancient in a mere 12 minutes??
There should be a part 2 to this video
Some of my neighbor still using portable radio. Its also support sd card, BT , old tapes.
Crazy how I bought a couple CDs yesterday and then I realized I don't even have a CD player anymore... I feel old
If you have a PlayStation or Xbox with a disk drive, than you have a CD player.
Correction: The QWERTY keyboard was designed to be inefficient due that the keys often get jammed.
0:54 bro what are you talking about QWERTY isn’t the most efficient keyboard layout, not even close
Which one is better? Except for stenograpics, thats too difficult.
It is tho
@@cattoymaker1QWERTY was designed to be as slow as possible, this was because original typewriters would break if inputs were made too quickly, so keys were pleased in a random order
@@thewitness8321not randomly. Commonly used characters were placed apart from each other
Hey! I have a huge television archive at home full of historically significant programming saved to DVD-Rs. They're NOT extinct. LOL!! 😊
At least I remember mp4 player and flip phones

I still keep my DVDs as well I also have library of MP3 and MP4 files in my hard drives
As I still occassionally use these
jeez. i am a late 90s born gen z/millennial and half of this video is things I literally used up until I was about 10. I still actually use mp3 players regularly because i can plug it into my car's stereo. I regularly used VHS from libraries up until about 2008. I still used cd's in my old car stereo until it was stolen 3 years ago.
Lol what no floppy disk or cassette tape, so much missed I mean not even the simple walkie-talkie or 8 track
Good point. They instead focused on cds/dvds which are modern 😂
@@WeatherMan2005there newer but still at least 20 years old
I’m pretty young (14) but knew about all of these
Same here had lots of them too
bro im 15 and shocked. kids really dont know about these? like when you say kids you must mean like 5 year olds?
Maybe newborns? 👶
Same I'm 15 and a (part-time) media nerd
Casually include human beings in devices list and call them telephone operators 🤣
when cd and dvd and vinyls need a comeback
I still own my leapfrog! I loved it so much
I grew up using cds, dvds and vhs and those being called old?? I’m only 16 😭😭
FR
Those Americans and there broken bad vocabulary and grammar and terminology of the English language
I am 15, and i not only remember all that(like VHS, Hi8, DVD,CD) but i used it all, even diskettes, maybe because i live in not so rich country, and vhs were sold there till 2015
I mostly saw these in cartoons, shows and movies and i asked to myself it would be so cool to have one of those 😢
No thinks to capitalism and planned obsolescence
i feel like these devices were used for more than 12 minutes
I still use MP3 players (iPod), Nintendo DSi, and a recently acquired flip phone. Those days were better
It’s a up yours to this society that is liberal and right libertarian and pro capitalist And transhumanist
I feel the 3ds is better bc it can play a lot more and has better emulation support with snes games
@@staringcorgi6475 Hey, it's your opinion! Although I never used the 3DS.
0:52 I keep hearing that "QWERTY" was designed for convenience and ergonomics, but in reality no one really knows what caused QWERTY to become so popular. If you'd like a more efficient keyboard layout, try DVORAK, Workman, or even Coleman
As a 13 year old, I don't even see the DVDs as being old, I still watch them a lot. They are only almost 30 years ol-- wait
0:50 the abc layout is actually more efficient, but people wouldn’t like them as much
Jokes on you, I still use DVD’s/CD’s to this day. Even some 5 year olds I know what a DVD/CD is. Albeit they don’t know the difference is, but still!
Lol same, i listen to MJ in car using CDs.
in japan cds are still popular...and i buy old anime cd so i dont have to go a pirate website to watch them
Can people stop calling VCR’s “VHS Players?” Nobody ever called them that and instead, people called them VCR’s which stood for Video Cassette Recorder.
Plus for another one they were generally known as "records". Or more casually referred to as albums, singles, 33's and 45's - everyone just knew that was referring to a record.
Likewise "record store" or variants there of.
And the equipment is a "record player" to most, or a "turntable" for the more technically inclined.
Stuff I knew a lot about from a fairly young age since mum worked for a major radio station.
Anyone who calls a VCR a "VHS player" is also a youngster in my eyes.
I collect CDs and can understand how they may be considered obsolete. They first came out in 1982 and there are much more compact ways to store music now, such as micro SD cards. In fact, I have FLAC rips of my whole collection on a single 512 GB card and mostly just use the CDs as a phsical representation and backup of it. However, in terms of audio quality, CDs still hold up perfectly, as they use lossless 16 bit 44.1 kHz audio. Most music streaming uses either that or a lossy version of it.
We talking like we can't remember only a few years ago when everyone had a radio 😂😂 some good video's tho
Where can i buy this stuffs. Can you help me
Even though am 21 am a fan of old tech when I lived with my grandparents I'd go through their things computers vhs tapes CDs cassettes sound systems etc never had a pager though
So many devices were dope here but I wish they thought about more of the practical than uh… “distracting” but if a practical device can distract you from a smartphone then it’s a win win lol
Many restaurants use pagers however many restraint pagers only sound alarms
A smart phone is just a PDA with a call feature. Prove me wrong.
PDAs are just computers in your pocket and has no finger touch screen support
And u can spell typewriter because of the layout it made so useful
I have dvds they live under my bed and in my drawer im only 22 dvds becomeing old makes me feel old god damn
Wait so people aren't using CDs/DVDs anymore? Does this also include blu-rays/4k blu-rays?
Please make a car or engine related video
Imo Dankpod viewers are the only ppl keeping the iPod alive.
