E49: The Time My Dad Met Billy Squier in a Parking Lot To Buy a Cable Cheater Box & Sneaker Phone
Technology really is a fickle thing! One day an item is brand new, state of the art, and incredibly expensive, the next it becomes obsolete, useless, and gathering dust in your basement or garage likely never to be used again.
If you long for the days of older technology, such as VCRs and rotary phones, camcorders, and Polaroid Cameras, then this episode of It Came From The 80s is for you! Relive these old memories from a time long gone with Jay and Tony, as they reminisce about technology items that just aren’t a thing anymore. The guys also share some tales from their youth about how they first encountered these gadgets of the past, and what has become of their once precious pieces of tech and super cool hardware.
This episode will definitely bring out those memories of a time when dial-up modems and Sony Walkmans represented the peak of technology. So strap on those hi-fi earphones and take a step back in time as we explore all things technology in the 1980s!
