The speed of how technology developed in the last 7 years is scary. 2000's electronics look like cheap toys in comparison.

That shit better all be y2k compliant.

Tv was a big purchase back in the day. I paid $2000 for a 48" big screen early 2000s

This was the year I got my first gameboy and pokemon game!

WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
I miss those machines. Lots more fun back then.
crunchychew
I have one exactly like that. Still boots, but it’s so out of date it’s pretty much useless lol. Doesn’t have Firefox, it uses Mozilla, haha

TiVo and DirecTV are basically exactly the same.

Tell me more of this "Palm Pilot" you speak of
Sanosuke30001
I had one up till senior year 2007. It was a PDA. I played games on it lol.
imgurhatesboobs
I’m pretty sure I bought Shaft that week for that price.
batmow
"Internet appliance" Was this a machine dedicated to just running a web browser?
kaymon
Basically. Fine for web usage, useless for anything else. Those things were obsolete the second they were made.

This stuff used to be crazy expensive. Then it became commonplace, and now it's all completely obsolete.

Remember back when they fired all their best employees because they got paid too much?
ibrokemyselflmao
Home Depot did it around the same time as well
SuperJere
Yeah, that didn’t work out too well!
waterskimaniac
Oh my gosh TVs used to be SO expensive
lurklurkingmclurk
Circuit city also used to overprice items.
itsmellslikefish
This is also at the highest peak of the dot com boom, before the economy collapsed for the first time in the 2000s

I bought a 50 inch DLP for 2000 when I was 16, 12 years ago. But my basement became the coolest place to play James Bond split screen
knotch2
Tv's are still expensive for the best ones! Think of it like a PC. People pay top dollar for a PC, they use it all day. Just like the TV.
trdfrgsn
And most are tube TVs. The big ones are rear projection.
jayol
Yeah those rear projection tvs were always way too dear for your average joe, I only seen them in pubs and pretty roch people’s places
WhatAboutReefer
I'd like to give you a rear projection
jayol
Lol nice
IIIHalezIII
and digital too!
dewdude
CRT's were expensive to make and heavy. Not only are LCD's cheaper to make, they're cheaper to ship.
cooplander
Seriously, $2700 American for a 61"? I just got a 65" 4K for $1000 Canadian.
lronMaiden
These days you pay quality of the panel & processing rather than just size or pixel density. I paid 995€ for 55", but panel is very good.
JesusMaximus
It also didn't weigh as much as heavy weight boxer.

Way back in the early 90s a big screen could cost $5,000-$10,000USD!
