What's the oldest technology you continue using?

Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

I still use a sony walkman to listen to music on cassette tape. Unlike my phone, it has a headphone jack. It's also nice being able to physically own music in such a compact form factor. It helps that the artists I listen to are starting to put their albums on tape as well.

Back when you could actually record shit easily. Wanna record something now? Fuck you, impossible.

I've made playlists on Spotify and then ripped them to tape before, I made my girlfriend a mixtape a few months ago actually.
