Since the advanced technology and Singaporeans have become more richer, many things that once used to be hot and IN have now passed by. Labels: topics
Neoprints
The thing that us, girls do when we have free time. Ever since digital cameras and camera phones have become cheaper, girls rarely visit this place. Now neoprint shops can never be the same again.
Polyphonic/Monophonic ringtones
Since the creation of better phones that allows true tones and mp3 formatted music, we have chucked away old phones that uses weird ringtones. Take a look in the buses, only a minority uses such phones.
Diary books
The price for paying a broadband connection is so cheap nowadays that many people have internet at home. Keeping diary is no longer the IN thing because everyone prefers to type down what happened today. No wonder why blogger and other weblog hosts are so popular.
Fat bulky TVs
Since the invention of wonder 42" Plasma TV with beautiful LCD Screens that have high quality color viewing options, garang-guni men (rag-and-bone men) can only collect these fat and bulky TVs that are so heavy and lousy. Yay for tech improvement.
Tape recorder/LD player/Cassettes
I will bow to that person who uses such items in this era. Blank CDs/DVDs/MP3s are so cheap and can be found everywhere, who would want to bring such stuffs outside? LDs can't even fit into a small handbag, unlike the mp3 which allows recordings as well.
Dictionaries/encyclopedias
Ever since the internet reveloution, we don't need these anymore! Just type something in the search engine and you have loads of information about something. Wikipedia and dictionary.com are better off than thicky and heavy books.
Soundblaster 16
This point is pretty lame, but I know that I don't touch this ever in my life. The first soundcard that was produced by Singapore genius, Sim Wong Hoo (See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Technology), probably we dont have the wonderful sounds played in our computers.
That's just some of the many things that have passed that technology era, 21st century. How interesting.
