I Used Only Vintage Technology for a Week

“This was my personal phone I used when I was at law school in 2001” written in pink pen? Bro literally bought a phone from Elle woods

bro literally bought all the things he secretly wanted as a kid and covered it up with this challenge

Idk but the message of “it is 2024 and me and my friend Jacob are using the xyber computer” made it really sweet like a kid wrote it

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

kurtis, danny, and drew all posted the same day. they're also all sponsored by opera. my little game theory is that they were all given the same deadline and all got it done on the last day, as anyone would

I appreciate that y'all recorded the entire Xybernaut Computer segment sitting on the floor of the dining room. Really enhances the vibe of kids playing with a new toy

Okay but the clacky noises of the My Little Reminder is so nostalgic though, specifically that frequency of that specific type of cheap metal on that specific density of cheap plastic. That level of low quality material just sent me back to that 2000-2010 era of my childhood man damn

You comment about you & Jacob "missing" out on a childhood together but feeling 10 years old while playing with the stuff literally almost made me cry lol "we were girls together" type

ok now do a video only communicating through cave paintings, smoke signals and morse code

beatboxing puppy

That part with the xybernaut computer gave me major nostalgia. Up at 3am, dying of laughter at a sleepover, playing pictochat on our DS's.

"You know what... I'm okay. I'm too old for all that stuff anyway. I'm just happy I was able to be a wearable computer for just one more day." Enough to make a grown man cry...

I leave a comment knowing it will increase your chances of being suggested to people because I really want Kurtis to do a silly little video about silly little As Seen On TV products

Fun fact about the Casio camera watch: Paul McCartney had one in 2001, and he absolutely LOVED IT. He showed it off, took pictures with it during interviews, and even used a picture of himself taken with his camera watch for the cover of his 2001 album Driving Rain!!

fun fact! videophones were really important for communication between deaf ppl and those were often the people who found them worth the cost

33:12 "horses used to be cars" ah yes, the good old evolution line

You’re really living the dream. You just found a way to monetize buying a bunch of crap you wanted to play with anyway and it was still a banger.

ITS HERE!!!! THE HOUR LONG VIDEO!!!!

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.
