Talking Where R They Now?

Remember your 56K modem... your 33.6kpbs modem... 28.8 modem? Think about all the printers you've had since 1995. Can you visualize the many CRT monitors that have sat on your desk? My point is, where are these products now? You may have stored them in your attic, thrown them in the garbage, donated, sold, or built them a shrine.
Let's talk about where our once prized possessions have ended up. Yesterdays technology is somewhere!

All of those relics are piled up in my family's basement. They are unsellable in my opinion. We should just get rid of them or give them away. They were good at the time but looking back, they provided a lot of frustration and stress compared to today's technology.

I found a website The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard -A twenty minute video with some interesting concepts.

With all of the crap that was used to build the old stuff, lead,etc. it should all be 'disposed of properly'. Think green.

i'm only 14, so i don't have a wild collection. though, anything i don't keep, i sneak into my 12 YO brothers bedroom, or chuck in the bin... not environmentally friendly, i know, bad mistake on my behalf.
