The Sporty Walkman
Everyone was privy to this ultra-cool, ultra-yellow sporty Walkman back in their high school days. Whether they were listening to some NKOTB, The Cure or Run-DMC, the Walkman alone was statement enough that you were part of the in crowd. Plus they were fun since you could rewind, forward, or even listen to the radio whenever you liked.
Recording Shows
Way back when, if you wanted to be able to watch a television show that you weren’t going to be home for, you could actually record it using a VCR player. There was no such thing as Netflix or torrents, so if you missed it, you may never actually get to see it ever again. This was the answer to many TV-crazed people’s problems.
