1. Floppy disk : at a point in time it was our only source of storing data , as a university undergraduate you must have one to store either project or materials at a Business Center, it was very useful and very vulnerable.
But show it to an undergraduate today and he/she will tell you what the heck I'd this ?
3 GSM Antenna : its very easy to forget how time flies , when the global system for Mobile telecommunication was introduced in Nigeria only major cities had access to the Network , in some areas people had to climb trees or mountains with their Nokia 3310 or Samsung R220 to get network.
Those days call centers had GSM antenna attached to a phones to enable acquire signal,all that is history now !
3.Cellophane water: Before the advent of pure water or what others choose to Call packaged water , Nigerian's had long been in the business.
It was simple
A. Buy a pack white nylons.
B.Fill each with tap water
C. Tie up with sack rope
D. Refrigerate
E. Start selling
Thanks to pure water this technology has been archived
4,Nintendo, Sega and Un branded Games
Yes this Names still exist as games today but many have forgotten how computer games were the exclusive preserve of rich kids , as a poor kid or a child from a middle income home computer games are things you see in school with that dude whose father owns the tallest building in the city. today with= N= 100 you can get any game software its that easy !
5.VCR: Do you remember watching any Indian movie through the window of your neighbors house because your family could not afford one , you are not alone:
Movies like MAD , Distinambari 10 10 10, Mother India, Snake in the monkey shadow were all available
Towards the end of the 90s Video cassettes where everywhere but today most kids would not know what a VCR or VCP is used for, even CD and DVDs are been phased out thanks to technology
Remember Toshiba ,Sharp !
How time Flies
6. Black and white TV
At a time in our history Lucozade cellophane is the only thing that can confer color on your Black and white TV, it was a technology that lasted for a long time , you watch voltron, Super Ted every on the black and white screen every Saturday and eat white rice and stew which only come on sundays !
If you try that with your child today you won't like what the kid will tell you !
7. ___________? I will leave the Seventh Blank and allow you decide which other outdated technology made great impact on the lives of nigeria
