28:53 this guy really knew what he was talking about in 2008. He knew the smartphone would become our tool for every little thing in life. Earlier he stated “Our high resolution tv’s will be low resolution in 10 Years”
sucks they do not make new content. How its made is the best show out there. There are not enough episodes and there are 1000s of more things they could film on how its made.
Modern Marvels, The History of:, How its made, Unwrapped, and the Secret Life of: were History Channels best shows. Its funny how 20 years after this premiered everyting is obsolete again.
My grandma is 99 years old, and she still has a floor model tv she has had brand new since 1984. Everything back then lasted so much longer compared to today's disposable junk.
We loved vinal throughout the 80s. We also had tapes. DJs used vinal records in clubs up until 1989. I know because I was playing music in top 40 clubs back then. Even though Tapes and CDs were being sold, vinal was still being released. Some time shortly after that, everyone went digital. But television was still analog.
15 and a half years old. Now what was old, is new in the context of vinyl records. Slowly people will remember that owning physical media is important, but only after being robbed by publishers and the streamers.
"The MP3 player replaced the discman, the discman replaced the walkman, and the walkman replaced the turntable." Me imagining a guy carrying his turntable around with headphones plugged in
Watching this episode in 2024 talking about the advent of smartphones, but referring to Palm, Blackberry, and other early smartphones is a bit chilling, since this episode came out in early 2008, but was likely written months before the boom of the release of the iPhone, since there was no mention of it (although it does now one being used for a few moments). I was there when PDAs and physical-keyboard smartphones met their demise.
TV's were heavy back then, I remember lifting a 27in Sony Trinitron TV onto a dresser, that thing was HeAvY!~ I learned how to type on a keyboard during PvP battles in SWG needing to fight an type at the same time, not during school or some pc program.
I learned how to type with an iMac in 2001, one of the colorful ones. I also had a 34 inch CRT at one time, I needed another person to help me lift it lol
I had one of those heavy tvs. Now I have a 55 inch tv that is pretty light. It was hard enough to mount it on the pull out mount arm with out the cat hopping on my lap while I tighten the set screws in the back. I not only have one of those tvs, I have 3 of them. 2 in my office and one down in the main living room. I would not mind getting some of those new 80 plus inch tvs. The only problem is I do not think I have enough room. They are 4 foot by 6 foot and my office is 12 foot 6 ish inches wide and the ceiling is 7 foot change upstairs, not quite 8 foot.
@@C-130-Hercules It always makes me laugh hearing people say that vinyl records sound better than digital recordings. If you play a plastic record 20 times, it begins to deteriorate. I had a large collection of 1960s & 70s music that was replaced with CDs and I gave all my vinyl records to a local oldies radio station who resold them to raise money for the station. The station manager told me later that they sold out. I'm thinking "WHY???"
@@joeyjamison5772 vinyl might have a fighting chance if you get a very high quality pressing and disc along with a good HiFi system. I'm a millennial so I'm partial to CD.
@@C-130-Hercules I probably have as many, thanks to my partner, who loved music as much as I do, and to antique stores, yard sales and second hand stores. I have many vintage & antique collectors item, 78's, 45, 33 1/3's from the 20's to the 80's. I could actually start a eclectic streaming radio station.
Retro Tech I did a paper on this episode when I was in Library Science and made sure to source it. Technology is evolving and wee need to evolve with it. The Typewriter became the computer, the Phone became the Tablet, The Kodak Brownie became The Digital Camera, and the Model T became the Car. But some gadgets land up at the dump and we will never see them again CRT Monitor extinct since 2010 replaced by Flat Screens and LCD and LED Boards, Tapes extinct since 2003 replaced by DVDs those replaced by Web Streaming, Floppys extinct since 2000 replaced by USB Flash Drives, Hard Disk Drives threatened will be extinct in 2026 replaced by Solid State, Analog Radio Signals extinct since 2005 replaced with Digital Web Streaming, and The Paper Office extinct completely replaced by Email and social media. Technologies that still exist but are hard to find Records they still engrave them, CDs those are still around disk drives are not ready to leave just yet, The Paper is going nowhere they just went digital, and Keys are still around but they are starting to be replaced with cards.
The ewaste company should just have a shredder in which a customer can come in with a computer and watch a worker remove the drive and set it on a tray to which you can pull a lever and drop it in the shredder. You could also remove your own drive and destroy it using a drop system as well. The wasted time drilling them out is stupid.
❤️ I remember my first class in my 7 grade I took an typed writer class and in the 8 grade and 9 grade and 10 grade and 11 grade and 12 grade and , I still Love my type writer ❤️
I learned how to type by feel on an iMac in 2001, 7th grade

This episode is from 2008, now 14 years ago, many has change sense it came out, TVs are larger thinner, they have sharper image, CD are no longer use, computer are faster, mobile phones and tablets are more advance intrinsically in our daily life so is the internet for better or for worse.
That's funny when this video was made they had no idea how much they would be right about the cell phone taking over everything. Cell phones today do everything you can think of
Higher frequency grooves are not "narrower" than lower frequency ones on records. Wish you would do a bit more research while writing the scripts, guys... I hope you're better at this by now, 16 years on from the original broadcast date.
Kind of funny they talk like this Tech is still relevant but yet we know now in 2024 every piece of technology minus the smartphone is now obsolete why do you need a laptop when your smartphone could do the same thing
