20 Pieces Of Technology That Seemed Revolutionary At The Time But Were Quickly Forgotten

Back when we were younger, technology seemed to advance at a much more rapid pace – or at least it was much more apparent. Just take phones for example: instead of the similar-looking rectangular smartphones we see now, we used to get all sorts of crazy and wild designs with the phones themselves becoming smaller and smaller every month. However, even though a lot of those designs seemed to be all the rage back then, the majority of them look almost hilariously obsolete today – and it did not just end with phones.
