With the retirement of BlackBerry’s classic phones after Tuesday, another signature piece of technology is officially being bestowed the title of “outdated.”

In an ever-changing smartphone technology landscape where new products and innovations have shorter and shorter lifespans, one can often look at devices like the BlackBerry and wonder, “Who was still using one of those?”

People get tied to a particular piece of technology and use it because they love the aesthetics, the usability, or it just fits into their life like a good pair of jeans. 

Whether it is a pager, VCR, typewriter, Walkman, or another piece of old-school tech, we want to know about the device of yesteryear that holds a special place in your heart.
