Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

    I have a Kindle from 2011 that’s still in perfect condition and gets daily use. Every now and then I’m tempted to get a newer eReader but I can’t come up with a single reason to actually do it.

    My wife just dug an old iPod that must be from ~2008 from some box in the basement so she can listen to music at work all day without killing the battery on her phone.

      Yep, I use 2014 Kindle Voyage. I wish it had the waterproofing and eye-friendly backlight of newer models, but I just can’t imagine going without the physical page turn buttons

          Oh I see. Down at the bottom. That seems awkward to use. I like the soft touch buttons on both sides of the Voyage. They rest under my thumb while I’m reading and I just have to squeeze to turn the page

            Yeah, that’s pretty convenient. I have no idea why everyone left this concept…
