Did you own any these gadgets back when they were 'high tech marvels'?
Casio QV-10 - 1996.
1st Consumer digital camera under $1,000.
Introductory price was $650.00. Amazing 2MB
of non-removable memory. No flash and
resolution of 320 X 240. Could store up to 96
pictures. But you could use the camera to take
a selfie because the lens could flip over!
Sony Walkman Cassette Player 1979.
42 years old as of July 2021. Featured
in Guardians in the Galaxy, the price of
these on eBay, used, can range from $500
to $1200.00. $200 in 1979 = more than
$740.00 today. A “Mic” button let a person
talk to you over your headphones without
taking them off.
iPod Nano 4 GB First Gen -Sept 2005
1000 songs in your pocket like the original
iPod, but at 1/5th the size! $249.00
Junghans World's 1st radio-controlled
production clock for private use.
1985. About $175. It checked with the
Boulder Colorado master clock once
every 24 hours, but mostly it couldn't
connect, so it wasn't very accurate at
my location.
