basically all cutting edge tech from my teen years:

When I was a little kid my dad's old retired police cruiser still had an 8-track player in it. Y'all ain't that old. I was there for that thing's entire lifecycle, then portable mp3 players' too. Streaming on mobile will probably last a while though.

A pretty shitty museum really. Discman was only made by Sony.

Discman was a Sony trademarked name only. That in the museum was a portable MP3 compact disc player with remote.

It says MP3 on it. I remember when I was a kid, I wanted a mp3-player because it was the hot shit. So I bought a Panasonic discman that said "MP3" on it. That's when I learned what "mp3-disks" are and how to quickly navigate through 400 songs using one button

Walking down the street, cradling the thing like a baby because the slightest bump would cause it to skip, those were the days xD

I recently found my first mobile phone model in a museum. I know the feeling.

I had this exact model ! Burned a CD with all the Linkin Park, Sum 41, Blink 182, Rage against the machine, System of a Down, Red hot chili peppers, and more !

Those were simpler times...

Yeah, that’s a low blow. Not a Walkman, not just a portable Cd player, a bloody mp3 cd with a remote on the headphones from 2002. Who are you calling old, eh? Kids these days have no respect

Ain't no way that's a Discman. I have a Sony one from the 90s on my desk, for one. Two, I thought Sony had the trademark on Discman? And three, that's Panasonic and doesn't have Discman anywhere on it.

So unless Discman wasn't trademarked and became synonymous with CD players, I refuse to accept that's a discman!

Wait until you see the home computer you grew up with, along with a joystick and selection of game tapes/discs including some of your favourites, in a glass case in a museum of technology; then you are free to crumble to dust.

Always love antishock

When can I be encased in a glass box and finally get some peace?

That is a low blow, museum

This early 21st century edition includes Anti-Skip Protection, some archaeological research indicates that it functioned the same way ESP or Electronic Skip Protection, however no conclusive records have ever been recovered…

It's not even the oldest one. I had to wait like three Christmases until I could play mp3s on a disk without converting them first.

Damn kid you had the high tech newfangled round clear gel looking shit.

I had the original 6AA battery disc man where you can either listen to music for a couple of drives without skipping, or a week if you didn't turn the anti skip buffer on.

What's the long black cable coming off it?

You've never been older in your life than you are now

It was never called a Tapeman, so why disc?

It should be a runman or a walkwoman.

WTF is this nonsense, Discman was a specific Sony product ala Walkman.

Then I guess you must have overlooked the first cell phone models you used (or even later ones) in that same museum...
