How else am I going to listen to all these "The Police" cassettes that my grandfather smuggled into the Soviet Union under the penalty of death in his sock?

Did he ever have any of those improvised records made from old x-ray photos?

Here's an obsolete thing: a separate word for mobile phones.

Which reminds me: people referring to television sets as "flatscreens" when it's been years since they stopped selling (and probably manufacturing) new non-flat screens. Bonus if they are referring to them as though they were some kind of extravagant luxury item even though they are considerably cheaper than CRTs with similar screen sizes were back in the day.
