< What's the oldest piece of technology you still use regularly?
I'm going to interpret this a bunch of ways as a thought exercise:
- Oldest electronic is probably an 8 year old laptop with linux on it. I have much much older electronics I've collected but they don't see regular use. I kind of find this dismaying I'm not using any of my old game systems or cameras recently...
- Oldest model of electronic I regularly use is probably my classic g-shock watch. It's largely unchanged since the late 80s and still produced. I bought a couple years back one since it was the "cool" watch when I was a kid.
- Oldest obsolete tech I use is probably the dip pen. I regularly go to it for aesthetics and to slow down my process.
- Oldest thing I regularly use is probably my 1960s Delta Rockwell table saw I inherited from my grandfather.
- Oldest technology we all use is probably knit fabric, goes well back into prehistory/iceage.
