10 Technologies MIA

Posted by Zonk on from the way-of-the-dodo dept.

Fantasy Football writes "CNet lists ten technologies they miss, which includes Napster, the originial Palm Pilot, good keyboards, and more. From the article: 'Technology evolves. Good technologies and products usually survive; poor ones usually go extinct. But not all of the technologies and tech products that have swirled down the drain of the tech gene pool deserved their fate. Here are some big, and some small, ideas that we thought we'd have with us forever, but that unfortunately have gone the way of the dodo.'"

    Try listening to a 10 year old mildly scratched LP.
    Then try listening to a 10 year old mildly scratched CD.

    The first will be tolerable, the second will drive you to murder.
