Question : Of all the technologies that have gone extinct in your lifetime, which one do you miss the most?

I’d love to have a popcorn popper
Like we used to have;
I’d smell the popcorn cooking just as
I got in the bath
And knew when I got out that it
Would not yet be cold;
A bowl for each to have while we
Bantered and cajoled
Each other at the table. With
Some root beer or what all;
My dad would always make it, and
We’d usually have a ball.
They still may make them somewhere;
I could go, and shop, and buy.
And we would get it in the mail,
And I would surely try
To do the things my father did.
And I may have the knack:
But those old days are gone
And they are
Never
Coming
Back
Was it electric or one of the black boxes with a long handle that you shook back and forth over the burner of the stove? I wish I had one of those!!! http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/07/02/books/
We started with the latter and ended up with the former.
And which do you feel nostalgic toward?
The older kind, I think.
Me, too.
