Melissa Suarez+FollowWould You Trade Speed for Hands-On Tech?Ever wonder if instant streaming and voice assistants have made us lose something?

Would you swap convenience for the tactile rituals of the past, or is faster always better? Let’s debate what we’ve gained—and lost—as technology evolved. #Tech #TechDebate #RetroTech01Share

Rebecca Hull+FollowWhich 80s Gadget Would You Bring Back?Ever notice how some 80s kitchen gadgets looked more like props from a sci-fi flick than actual appliances?

Do you think today’s minimalist gadgets have lost that sense of wonder, or are we better off with sleek, smart tech? Which retro appliance would you resurrect for your kitchen? Let’s debate! #Tech #TechNostalgia #RetroTech00Share

schmidtgeorge+FollowThose days we used to shift gears from the steering wheel 🤔There was a time when a lot of cars had a manual transmission shifter on the steering column, a setup people called a "three on the tree." The whole point was to get the gear shifter off the floor so you could fit three people comfortably in the front seat. It was a huge deal back then for passenger space. This design was on some cars for decades. Eventually, automatic transmissions became the standard, and the "three on the tree" disappeared. But here is the crazy part. It is making a comeback! A lot of new cars and EVs are putting the shifters back on the steering column for the same reason—to save space. The only difference is they are automatic now. 😂 It's all my fault for being too young, otherwise I would really want to try this kind of car. #Cars #Nostalgia #RetroTech #CarHistory #ManualTransmission #Driving #EVs 5924Share
