< What's the oldest piece of technology you still use regularly?

I recently revived an old Kindle (gen 4, I think?) for reading e-books from the library. Very satisfying to find a piece of consumer tech that's a decade + old and still functioning just fine.

The closest thing for myself is idk a book? I think this laptop is old? Gosh, I don't know.

But I will say, like you, my partner recently bought himself a Kindle (I think an older model too) and he's gotten so much use out of it. I'm still reluctantly holding out hope that the tactile feeling of paper will one day encourage me to finish the books I have laying around haha

That's a good one, mine's not that old but maybe it'll get there. I transfer my books with the USB cable so I don't depend on Amazon still supporting it, and it uses so little battery power that I imagine I'll keep using it until it physically breaks.
