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?)

    I don’t miss cassettes, getting eaten by the player in the car and impossible to get out without snapping the tape. Tapes of any kind are subject to being gobbled up by the player, looking at you VHS.

    I miss albums, they were cool to look at, but only a few of mine survived. My music is all digital these days.

      The VHS was a bastard on an entirely different level. My cousin lost his The Empire Strikes Back tape because a roller got stuck and the tape got twisted around the reader head.

      Should’ve used a Betamax. /s
