I was a ‘97 baby, but because my parents were older and had their own business that was very techy, I grew up learning late 80s and early 90s tech by playing with it. I remember seeing the transition between beige/black blocky tech into the glossy frutiger aero tech. I don’t specifically remember any of these devices (except for the lil reminder), but the aesthetic is so nostalgic for me. I can even remember the smell of the plastic of this kind of tech. It’s cool to see how far we’ve come in just three decades, but it’s also daunting.

My dad is a software engineer and when I was real young in the 90s he had a gig programing games for the palm pilot. I remember he would give me his palm pilot to keep me occupied anywhere we had to wait (restaurants, DMV, post office). When I was an adult, he admitted he was basically using me for testing, because I would find bugs and then complain to him that it wasn't working. There were several games, but the things I remember best was mancala and a little drawing pad.

@jpatton3050 Ай бұрын

Old millenial here (38). Palm Pilots wouldn't originally forget your data when the battery died (that'd be a crazy way to design it really). I'm guessing it has something like an internal ROM battery on the board to keep the volatile memory chip powered, and that's dead now. That same sort of problem happens with old NES or SNES cartridges and prevents them from being able to keep game saves anymore.

@doctorhandsome Ай бұрын

Those old game cartridges just use a watch battery, you can replace it pretty easily (and no, doing so does not affect the cart's value among collectors).

@smheath Ай бұрын

The early PalmPilot models would only retain their memory for about 15 minutes if the batteries died. But you were supposed to sync your data with your PC so you could restore it after changing the batteries.

Two things with Palm Pilots. First, they were intended to be used with a desktop computer, which would sync / backup all the data. You can also swap the batteries in under 3 seconds to preserve the data, but good luck with that. Later models had a watch battery to preserve the memory when you swapped batteries. Second: the "graffiti" writing was very divisive. People who spent the time learning it could write much faster than using the keyboard, especially when standing or walking. I know this because my grandfather still uses his Paul Pilot today.

As someone who lived through it all, I can say that back in the day, new tech and gadgets were coming at us very quickly. We transitioned from using payphones and pagers to analog cell phones, SMS texting, and T9. One year, we had palm pilots, which were all the rage. Then suddenly, your company would introduce the “Blackberry,” and everything changed. We were constantly adapting to completely different “solutions” every couple of years in various aspects of our lives-how we communicated, worked, and even how we lived. And then came modern smartphones. Once they were adopted, they became the new de facto standard for everyone. Since then, they’ve remained stable. It’s worth noting that stability in tech wasn’t something we had until recently. Additionally, a lot of the older tech was frankly subpar and rarely used. Our everyday essentials ranged from walkmans and pagers to MP3 players and flip phones-essentially what we have now.

What I notice the most is a 10 year old laptop.. the ones that came with or got upgraded to SSD drive works just as well as a new laptop for day to day activities. Online banking, paying bills, sending emails, watching KZfaq, social media, and reading the interzones. From 1995 to 2015ish the internet was changing so fast that after just 2-4 years your computer became practically unusable to do the stuff you normally did. People would say their computer was getting slow but that’s not true, the games, websites, and email programs got so much larger and much more complicated your computer could not keep up. That still happens to an extent but nearly as dramatic. Maybe your bank site takes a few seconds more to load vs back in the day when it became an actual few minutes extra to load.

my dad uses a My Lil Reminder when he's building something-- extremely useful for saying a precise measurement for cutting etc so you dont second guess yourself between the time it takes to measure and prepare to cut it. he clips it to his shoulder and doesnt have to stop to write anything down, much quicker. not the intended purpose but it's like the only thing it's perfect for

You should have hooked up an rca to UHF broadcaster to a DVD player or something. That would have let you play a DVD, broadcast it a few hundred feet around your house over a "TV channel" that you could have picked up on the little TV, and then been able to watch a whole season of spongebob on the little TV. As a bonus, all that stuff existed and was publicly available in the early 2000s so it would have still qualified as vintage tech. The UHF broadcasters only cost about $30 on Aliexpress.

I love how they made a small handheld reminder device, went through the whole process of developing, testing and distributing it, and at no point in this entire process went "Oh wait, couldn't you just buy a small pad of paper for like 3 bucks instead?" I feel like that basically sums of most of these 'cool' products from years back. People overcomplicating simple technology because it sounds futuristic. Explains why Back to the Future 2 feels so comedic in its depiction of 2015.

I'm like 5 years older than you and I actually had and used a bunch of these devices as a kid. This period of technology happened in such a brief window of time. It's wild how much difference a few years can make. Every time my dad upgraded to a new Palm Pilot I got the old one. I've genuinely been considering trying to find one to use in my daily life exactly for notes and calendar stuff. Graffiti took a bit of time to get used to, but I could write it at the same speed as writing on paper, which has always been faster for me than thumb typing. It was really nice that the Pilot was a device that just got out of your way. It did the basic functions it promised really well, and then it never advertised at you, demanded SaaS subscriptions or micro transactions, distracted you with short form bullshit, or changed its whole UI because the UI/UX team felt the need to justify their existence this fiscal quarter. We don't actually have anything like it these days, and I think we're missing out. Love this whole experiment!
