ever feel like your new tech purchase is
outdated the second you step out of the
store shit hell that shit pornographic
it’s out of power
well these devices certainly are welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
real high tech devices that appeared in
movies but look hilariously outdated
today for this list we pick devices that
exist in real life that were featured on
the big screen and that may have at one
time looked high-tech but now seem very
old-fashioned archaic or obsolete we can
go over it up
we got a read with the system first
number 10 the palm tungsten see little
black book electronic little black book
if you were a business executive or
venture capitalist at the beginning of
the century chances are you probably had
one of these as in as in palms
blackberries desk organizers electronic
footprints of where your man has been
and with whom I don’t think under the
right circumstances they could prove to
be a girl’s best friend before the world
was introduced to smartphones the Palm
Pilot or one of its variants was your
right-hand man allowing you to store a
vast amount of contacts organize your
schedule and granting you access to the
internet I were home where would I be
sound familiar
now modern phones make personal digital
assistants look like a toy you buy for
your kids to make them feel special when
you take them to bring your child to
work day slow down you’re rocking the
palm
number nine tiny hard drive storage
Johnny mnemonic your storage capacity is
now 160 gigabytes warning do not exceed
capacity back when Johnny mnemonic was
released the ability to store a whopping
160 gigabytes on one device was probably
enough to blow your mind how much my
carry 320 gigabytes nowadays you can get
that same amount of storage or more on a
simple flash drive it is extremely
dangerous if the upload volume exceeds
your storage capacity synaptic seepage
can kill you in 2 or 3 days in this
sci-fi action thriller the titular hero
trades out his childhood memories to
make room for this now miniscule amount
of memory space implant wed wired I had
to dump a chunk of long-term memory if
only he had waited a few years he could
have stored terabytes worth of info in
his noggin instead I want to get online
I need a computer
number 8 motorola dynatac wall street u
wake-up call man go to work it’s hard to
look back on the Motorola DynaTAC and
consider it a cell phone just look at
the size of this thing it’s a brick the
portable phone looks like a device that
should be able to launch missile strikes
or control a satellite I’ve never seen a
pane captures the beauty of the ocean at
a moment like this how are we supposed
to believe Gordon Gekkos a high-rolling
Wall Street player when he makes calls
on this it’s just plain silly today at
least they acknowledge it in the 2010
sequel and we all shared a good laugh
and one mobile phone
and yes most cell phone tech looks dated
after some time including the flip phone
from Romy and Michele’s high school
reunion look what else I got his little
lady oh my god it’s a flip phone uh-huh
how’d you get this I bought it
number 7 MC 8080 microcomputer war games
the president will probably follow the
computer war plan now that’s a fact you
know how when you buy a new couch or bed
and then have the difficult task of
figuring out how to get it through the
door and into your apartment
these computers give us instant access
to the state of the world troop
movements Soviet missile tests shifting
weather patterns it all flows into this
room and then into what we call the
Walker computer well in the 80s that’s
what it was like when you bought a new
microcomputer and this machine used by
Matthew Broderick in the 1983 Cold War
sci-fi flick is supposed to be the small
version you’re really into computer
stuff yeah if there was a Starbucks back
then and you ordered a tall hot
chocolate would that be the equivalent
of a super-sized soda at McDonald’s well
that does sound pretty awesome so we
surely hope so photo vision I have you
now
at least the M Sai 8080 helped him
successfully hack into a school
districts computer system so it had that
going for it those are grades yeah I
don’t think that I deserved it it feel
you can’t do that already done number
six walkman Back to the Future
so back to the future only showcased
Marty’s walkman but we’ll take this
opportunity to also mention the later
music player known as the discman
despite how ridiculous they appear today
these devices were a music lovers dream
just a few decades ago they allowed you
to take your music on the go anywhere
now that we all have some sort of mp3
player the idea of carrying a large
device while lugging around your
collection of tapes or CDs seems crazy
but at least the Walkman was recently
given some retro love in 2014’s
guardians of the galaxy hey hey hey
that’s mine hey take those headphones
off right now number 5
pager clueless no calls tonight but it’s
gee I’m sorry
maybe we’re gonna have a nice family
dinner yet another victim of modern
phones texting certainly made the pager
obsolete
it’s not even 8:30 and Murray is paging
me he’s so possessive just imagine
trying to set up a girls night out or
plan your next poker game using this
device woman why don’t you be answering
any of my pages think about the amount
of work it would take versus just
sending a group text as if now on top of
that picture how cool you would look
strapping these bad boys to your belt
and displaying them for the whole world
to see you prefer fashion victim or
zombie challenge not exactly the most
appealing fashion accessory anymore now
is a chair I was just totally clueless
number four all computers Jurassic Park
UNIX systems an interactive cd-rom it’s
hard to believe that this technology
actually ran the entire park in this
science fiction adventure film is
telephoto
it tells you everything these computers
look more like dinosaurs than the actual
dinosaurs in this movie with the new
Jurassic Park perhaps the studio should
consider showing off a separate exhibit
in which tourists can view the first
flicks old security systems and see how
easy it was for the dinosaurs to escape
in the first place hold on to your
butt’s number three
AOL you’ve got mail for those too young
to remember there was a time when email
was this bright shiny new thing and when
you got the friendly reminder telling
you that you’ve got mail it always
brought a smile to your face you got
mail yes so very powerful words back in
the day AOL was an online bigwig and the
cool thing to use not only could you
send and receive electronic mail you
could also chat with your friends online
via instant messenger I need help
do you still want to meet me and let’s
not forget the good old sound of dialog
of course none of this seems so special
any longer thanks to the various ways of
communication we have today most notably
Gmail Facebook and much much more
good bye number 2 developing film
one-hour photo discrim in and I’m just
wrapping up some film make sure you can
see me ok ok the use of the medium of
film versus digital images is still a
highly debated topic today though many
directors still opt to shoot on film
however in the commercial market using
photographic film to capture skills is
widely unheard of can I help you son
just dropping off some film just a
customer when was the last time you
bought a disposable camera and had it
developed at a one-hour photo shop
chances are it’s been a while free
disposable cameras the customers on
their birthday that must have been your
bright idea sure shit is a company post
you can’t do this we’re living in a
digital age and with technology getting
better and better film is becoming more
and more a thing of the past
find another place to do your film I do
not want you back in here before we
unveil our top pick here are some
honorable mentions
I mean supposed to be like magic isn’t
it hello you have four messages message
like hey gorgeous it’s sad try calling
look you gotta get that girl out of here
and hope my number one
VHS the ring have you heard about this
videotape that kills you when you watch
it in the ring the dated quality of the
VHS footage definitely added to the
creepy factor but it also makes one
wonder that if the movie were set today
would anyone even have a VCR to play the
cassette on perceptions never good here
that’s why we bought tape players for
videos our guess is that poor samra
would be waiting a long time for some
poor sap to come by and convert her tape
into a DVD though fans still have plenty
of nostalgic love for this strange
format video tape is likely to be
completely off the market sooner rather
than later if it isn’t already it’s
going to kill me use it do you agree
