Dial up? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I remember having to get off the internet so my mom could order pizza. Then we got DSL. It was magical.

What if someone had dial-up but used MagicJack for phone service?

I'm so glad we don't have cassettes (video or audio) anymore. My uncle had a really mean habit when I was a kid where he would take some of my favorite movies and music tapes, get them wet, leave them in his car for a week or so, and then bring them back. He always had me convinced he had only lost them, but when I played the tapes I was chagrinned to find that the visuals were all scary, colorful, and beny. More nightmare fuel. I would inevitably end up in the feeble position until my parents got home. This just goes to show that even though a technology can be made with good intentions, it really only ends up causing more pain than gain.

I'm actually hoping hipsters bring VHS back soon.

The dollar store I work at still sells blank VHS tapes, and a tape of some kids' show from 1996.

The thing that reminds me of obsolete things the most is their smell.  Oh, metal oxide tapes how I adore thy smell.
