You must be really, really old.

At the end of the 1800s Herman Hollerith invented the recording of data on a medium that could then be read by a machine, developing punched card data processing technology for the 1890 U.S. census.

In 1928, IBM introduced a standard and widely used punched card format of 80 columns, 12 rows and rectangular holes.

Hard to believe nowadays, but there was a breakfast chain restaurant called Sambo's that I used to go to as a kid out on the West Coast. Also, remember Howard Johnson's restaurants. Not sure if there are any of those left.

I can remember several 'toys' from the 70s that i had that wouldn't cut it now due to safety concerns...there was the 'strange change machine' where you could compress plastic into a square and upon reheating it would form a dinosaur shape. Got hot as hell and could easily burn yourself. Also, those mix and bake ovens with the light bulb inside to cook the cake or whatever...another burn hazard.

Tape backup is still a thing. And it's gotten HUGE. 9th generation LTO was released in 2021, the tape's are 12.650mm tall and 1 KM long! Can hold 45TB per tape! https://buy.hpe.com/...ape-drives/p/4150338

That's a long way from the 1951 Remington Rand (Unisys) 224kb 1/2" tape.

(Remington Rand used to be the Remington Typewriter Co until 1927. Before that Remington & Sons sold their typewriter business and name to Standard Typewriter in 1886 when rifle making became too good. Remington Typewriter merged with Rand Kardex in 27 and invented the tape drive to power UNIVAC)

0 for 3. High schools still requires handheld calculators for several tests, as do some of the AP tests.
There are lists of approved calculators (including scientific and graphing variants, e.g. TI-84) that have sufficient capabilities to support the math calculations without online connectivity of extensive programming capability.

The TI-84 helped me get through Stats, you can keep a lot of information on those things.

How the heck do these things still cost over $120? You can buy a cheap phone that is 100x more powerful for that kind of money.

I just bought my kid a TI-84 that has Python built in! They could sit in class and program on their calculator. (approved for AP tests and at least the SAT)

Hospital ran a test to replace pagers with phone app and ended up staying with pagers because ER was overwhelming the specialists with unnecessary questions/photos/etc and data showed the app wasn't more efficient.

I sold a 30+ year old reverse polish HP 15 for $120 on ebay. It did way less than the Ti 84 but you can't beat it for tedious basic arithmetic.

...and in the chemical industry (or at least my little corner of it). My TI-30Xa gets a fair bit of work.

my biological lifetime and ST lifetime are the same thing ;-) jk but I did find this forum when I was a junior in high school.

My ST lifetime! clm might be able to tell us when it was created. It was removed 5-6 weeks ago (ish). I moved my weekly accountability thread over to the main forum, along with everything else I would've otherwise posted in women's. The first post in the latter category was if others' sex drive increases when they are training less.

As has been stated before, pagers are still alive and well (at least in the medical world… pry them from the doctor’s cold dead hands sort of thing…)

I have been trying to convince Mini she needs to spearhead bringing these back- but we’re too late - the UCLA women’s basketball team is already bringing them back. I have high hopes.

Those playgrounds kids designed and soldiers helped build out of pressure treated lumber. They were awesome - even if we’re all going to die from the chemicals.

Rollerblades

Rollerblades are still around, maybe not as popular. When my back and foot finally gave up the ghost I toyed with the idea of getting into inline racing. Then remembered I was 50, brittle, and going 20+ mph on skates was not a good idea. Plus the angle of their backs when propelling themselves just looks painful.

Still have a full-sized deck and dozens of tapes, though most all of them have been converted to CD/wav.

Born in 1984 for context

Starter (and their jackets)
PT Cruisers
Sportscaster (I know it's still on, but it's a shell of what it was)

Although it's yet to happen, I can predict with 100% certainty and precise contemporaneity, that I can add "me" to the list.

Sure you meant Sportscenter. Which was a good one and I almost tossed out.

For all intents and purposes, it is gone. HS/College/Singledom could crash on the couch and watch it on a loop. All the games in all the markets, segments were tight with a few good flashbacks to lead up to that game, interviews, and then mostly witty banter. It was so enjoyable, I would often watch twice.

Billy Beer
The Assault Weapons Ban
NYNEX, Cingular, and all the other post-Ma Bell local phone companies/early cell phone companies that then just got swallowed up until we were kind of back where we started.

Firebirds. - with that eagle on the hood!
TransAms - in black, like on knightrider tv show
Fieros - ok, not really missed.

You may be right, but in my world (construction project management) all of our young new hires out of college never use them. I pull out my HP 11C and they look at me like I'm using an abacus. They seem to all use formulas in the excel spreadsheets, or the calculator app on their phone.

Wow. I worked through this thread at the pool with friends. We reminisced about each item. We had a blast. Thank you.

Yep I work in a hospital also and fax machine is in every office still being used.

We have to do a LOT of medical shit for MIL, and it's always fax'd from one place to another; Dr offices still have drawers & drawers of paper records
