Have you even seen these before?
Remember the last time you rented a movie at a video store? Paid a bill by check? Played a quick game of Snake on your non-smart Nokia phone? Maybe you still do—but chances are good you've replaced many of what used to be common, everyday things with better, modern technologies.
Advancements in technology come in leaps and bounds. Some products last just a few years, and others endure for centuries, but one thing is certain — obsolescence is often inevitable. These days it doesn't take long for gadgets to become obsolete and be replaced by even newer tech in smaller and more portable forms.
Today we're taking a nostalgic walk down memory lane, looking at some of the biggest, best and most memorable gadgets from the last century that have been outdated, outmoded or just forced into irrelevance by fresher technological trends. Take this quiz to see some of the once everyday items that have become utterly obsolete. You might remember many of these primitive items, but there are plenty of the younger generation that don't. Do you even remember their names?

14/15 would’ve been perfect except for not knowing what the overhead projector was called. Just remember the meanest teacher ever had this in school
Wondering how this is supposed to be open ended
Open-ended means you come up with the answer yourself instead of multiple choice.
