The People Who Refuse to Let Their Gadgets Die - The Atlantic

Technology moves so fast that it sometimes feels impossible to keep up. Everything is touchscreen, smart, AI-powered, and designed to do half the work for us. It definitely makes life easier, but all that sleek modern tech can feel a little boring compared to the chunky buttons, strange shapes, and wonderfully funky gadgets we used to have. Which brings us to r/OldTech, a subreddit where people share vintage finds they’ve stumbled across. We’ve rounded up some of the coolest ones below. Scroll down and see how many take you straight back in time.#1 Found My Dads Old “Music Player”© Photo: Itsstefanos#2 Does Anyone Know About This TV?© Photo: OrionontheInternet#3 My Grandpa’s Boombox (In Nearly Perfect Condition)© Photo: [deleted]It is January 9, 2007, at Macworld in San Francisco. Steve Jobs is onstage in his usual black turtleneck and jeans, with grey New Balance sneakers on his feet, and in a few minutes he will reveal a device that changes what people expect from a phone for good. The original iPhone combined a phone and an iPod with desktop-style internet features, all of it controlled through a large multi-touch screen.

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. Argentina is a country known for its natural beauty, soccer legends, and chainsaw-wielding president, but it probably isn’t the first place you’d expect a rad V8 supercar to be developed. However, that assumption might change once you learn about a company called Valtor, the brainchild of engineer-turned-CEO Sergio Arias. He leads a small but ambitious team of designers and engineers like himself, who’d previously caught people’s attention with the Azor GT concept last year. Now they’re back at it once again with the Eaglon, an evolution of the Azor and something that could easily be mistaken for a Ferrari by those who don’t know their automotive lore.
