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.

My friend's dad had one with a remote that when you changed the volume on the remote the volume knob would move. I thought it was so cool
Lol that is definitely cool, no thinking required.
My hifi does that, (a very cheap second hand Teac system) it makes me giddy every time it does it!
