50 “Obsolete” Bits Of Technology People Refuse To Stop Using

Seriously though, why would a fridge need to be connected to WiFi?

Yes, especially if you’re driving, you don’t need to look at a touchscreen and can keep your eyes on the road

Same my friend, same.

My friends took me out to dinner, I'm waiting for the person to bring our menus, and my friends said it on their app. What the f***k? they had to download that square thing, to then download something else, I don't need all this c**p on my phone, I already disable a lot of the stuff on it, now I gotta add more, and it makes life harder? No Thanks

I got a Kindle for a gift a year ago and I'm pretty fond of it.

Unnecessary apps are terrible. They don't need my info to order a shelf set.

Notebooks at school are about to extinct. So the beautiful handwring is.

Yes please!

I read an article a while ago that said there is a difference in "Pyrex" and "pyrex" The brand Pyrex sold their name to a company that makes cheap knockoffs, which has the lowercase "p" at the front of the name

I’d love to see cars like this more often, as cars are often the most heavily used machines in your life, unless you take public transport. But alas, it shall not be so

Until you get arthritis...

I've been hunting up thrift stores for a Swing-a-way can opener! They work better than anything.

The sounds of an electric can opener is like a mating call for cats

Electric ones are easier for people with arthritis

How else do you call the cat?

Can openers are obsolete? God forbid anyone's use of any manual tools anymore - because they are so old-fashioned.

Under the cabinet electric can opener. Saves space and hands! Win! Win!

I have nerve damage in my chest wall, and the action you have to use with a manual tin opener causes me severe pain in my chest.

Because not everyone has the strength in their hands and wrists for manual ones. Others have arthritis.

My Gen Z daughter had no idea how to use a manual can opener when I handed her one.

A lot of cans have pop tops now. Soup cans, tomatoes, pet food, all come to mind.

Welcome to Australia! I'm a Canadian born Aussie (a Canaussie if you will) & I was very surprised to find that electric can openers are mostly unheard of when I moved here. I've seen them advertised but have never actually seen one in the wild. I think it's because 99.9% of tins have a ring pull. Most people have a rotary can opener rattling around in a kitchen drawer but there is rarely a need for it these days.

Even electric can openers are becoming obsolete, most cans have a pull top these days.

I have a small electric one that fits in the junk drawer

My mother used to affectionately call me 'cack-handed'. Right-handed with some things, left-handed with others. Please don't take my electric can-opener away... :'-(

I am left handed so an electric can opener is a godsend to me. I know there are left handed can opener but it is just easier and quicker to use the electric one.

Some people go through a lot of canned food.. plus have dogs or cats... and then there is the whole Arthritis thing..

I love my electric can opener, it's red and matches all my other "useless kitchen appliances". I hated the manual one because it was so hard to use.

Get a cuisineart can opener. It's battery powered, shaped like a kidney bean, and sits on top of the can. Then it gets put back in the drawer. Best can opener I've ever had, and fastest.

I like how most of the cans have the tab lid that makes them easier to open. I have a regular can opener for the ones that don't.

Mayne it's not the same where you likve, but 99.9% of canned good these days come with pull-off lids. I haven't needed a tin opener for years. (OK, TBF, once or twice after being clumsy and ripping the ring-pull off),

I get it if opening cans is your job, like at a diner or something, but at home, you don’t need an electric one. My grandma has had the same manual one for 10 years and it still works like it’s brand new.

Kitchen gadgets = Disability aides

Get one that mounts under the cabinet. Best of both worlds.

Arthritis!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good quality can opener is a must in ANY kitchen. when I moved in with my (now) husband he had a old but reasonably decent one that lasted for years. When it started looking like is was ready to beput out to pastur e I started looking for a high quality replacement. I'd rather spend $25 now for a sturdy and comfortable to use model that will last another 15 years then get something that will break in 2 years and be hell on my wrists.

We had an electric can opener but got rid of it because it just takes up space and is hard to clean. The manual one fits in a drawer and is easy to clean.

Because not everyone has the strength/manual dexterity to use a hand held one. It allows people to do things independently and that's a good thing.
