What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?
I don't mean BETTER. That's a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That's just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.

Slide open phones with a QWERTY keyboard. Those were the bomb.
I wish someone would being those back
There’s a company called Unihertz that sells a line of keyboard Android phones similar to the last batch of Blackberry models. I know it’s not slider phones but they are inexpensive.
There is also Planet Computers which makes sliding Qwerty phones but they are expensive.
Prices look decent at a glance as well.
I miss my BB keyboard something fierce.
My daughter the other day told me she misses her HTC phone. I got it for her when she was in her early teens and she could text like lightning with that thing.
