Retro thinking

So I was thinking not about retro games but about retro everything. What if we had to use technology from 5 years ago? And I mean for everything ( car's,phones,computers,) you name it. What would people do?

I think the younger generation would freak out.  I am sure some of us older ones would be ok with it.  I hate cell phones, and use mine as an alarm clock, so that would not be a huge deal to me.

I think most of my "tech" is 5 years old.  laugh  I think about the only exception I have is probably my video card in the PC (2 years old), my laptop (3 years old) and the BlueRay/streaming player in the bedroom (which I would be perfectly fine w/o the streaming tech bit).  But the PC itself was built in 2010...and still on the original MB & processor.  My phone is an original iPhone 4 (not even the S), so even it's 5 years old.

Hell, the newest car I own is 19 years old.  Of course a couple of the cars I own were some of the baddest cars of the day from the early to mid '90s.  laugh

I hate smart phones but I would find life difficult without mine now. I use it for news, sports, games, banking, gps, email, facebook, music, youtube, camera, buying stuff etc.
