When I went on a trip in the early 2000s, I took a phone, a satnav, an MP3 player, a camera and for longer trips a netbook with a UMTS stick (3G modem you could plug into a USB port). Plus all the associated chargers, cables and other gubbins. I felt really cool and modern with my huge, clunky tech bag. Now that seems quaint and outdated. I wonder if people will feel the same about smartphones in 20 years.

Ah yes I remember wearing 3 personal cassette players, and a disc man at the same fricking time.

Pretty sure I cannot fit 3 VHS tapes in my pocket. Pockets have not really gotten bigger

Pretty sure it's a Betamax tape.

Baggy pants are back, baby!

My double standard is that when I see someone with a boombox playing music in public, I'm chill and open to it. When someone does the same thing on their phone, I must work to enhance my calm.

Is it the sound quality? Maybe in part. But there's more to it.

Maybe it's that a boombox playing music is more social and open, whereas what someone does with their phone is typically meant to be private, but some people play their music or w/e noise out loud from it as if only they can hear their phone and you're just supposed to pretend they aren't overstepping boundaries.

I think it's a mindset thing. A boombox means you're thinking about an audience. Consideration is implicit.
