discuss What retro gadget would you revive today, even if it’s impractical?

I would try my best to resurrect the Polaroid camera. There's something really magical about it, printing pictures instantly and holding that tangible image in one's hand is magica. It's really something that hasn't made its way into the digital age. It's an art that had just gone.

I would try my best to resurrect the Polaroid camera.

They sell Polaroids, just under Fujifilm Instax. I got one for my daughter this past Christmas. The instant photos are smaller than the OG Polaroid, but they may still sell those too—I haven't looked into it.

I'd bring back the Sony Walkman cassette player and try my hardest to find used cassettes in good or mint condition. The sound from a cassette (and vinyl) is just not the same as this digitally enhanced stuff.

I would bring back the original Game Boy. It felt really charming to me. I love to see the green-tinted screen, chunky buttons, and endless batteries life again. Playing Tetris and Pokémon on the go makes it a staple of childhood back then..

Mine is the flip phone. I miss how simple it was. Then ,it was like a magic making calls and sending texts with it. No other thing attached, no social, no email yet I find it so interesting. It even had that gratifying sound of flipping it open and closed.
