The oldest tech you still use

My kitchen has an oven and cooktop that are GE Thermador steel from the late 1950s

Edit: I didn’t own these new so it’s not eligible but still these units are cool AF.

From owned new then my alarm clock. It’s simple so not much to go wrong with it.

The other year when I got my ham license, I used a vintage slide rule in the tests. Fifties if not older.

The oldest piece of technology that I bought brand new and still have is my NES top-loader console I bought in the early 90s. Not sure that counts since I haven’t used it in years, since I downgraded to the original front loading model since the top-loader only has a coaxial output and the original has AV output.

I guess my Gameboy Advance SP I bought in 2004ish and still occasionally play is probably the oldest thing I personally bought and still use.

I still play the Wonderful World of Eamon, which was originally written in Applesoft BASIC. So, 40 year old tech?

Hoping to revitalize it here, BTW . . .
