Neighbor once asked to borrow my Boom Box and drained the batteries and got sand all up in the cassette deck.
Some people have no shame. I swear.

Where can I find a pocket-sized VCR? I would love to watch some of my VHS tapes again.

20 years more and they’ll be embedded in our heads on something the size of a rice grain 😉

I have yet to find a pocket sized printer capable of printing on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper.

Right there is one of the main reasons we don't have as many manufacturing jobs these days......

no it's not. that's not the reason at all. it's not even always automation, though that plays a role. the main reason is that corporations outsource their labor by building factories in third-world countries where they can utilize virtual slave labor.

@genessa Yes, that is one of the main factors there. What that meme shows is how products and manufacturing have evolved. Manufacturing is just not nearly as labor intensive as it used to be. What used to take a hundred employees to do now takes 10 due to advanced manufacturing techniques and product design.

@Dhiltong yes such as automation. but outsourcing is still the biggest issue because instead of using fewer people, companies could make more product. that becomes moot when the workers are all in thailand or wherever.
