I also remember Polaroid cameras - my mom used to take pictures with one many years ago. She's since gotten rid of it, and I'm the one taking pictures most of the time now, with a digital camera.
I also miss the simplicity of operating a VCR (I actually still have one today, that I use primarily for transferring my VHS collection to DVDs, and it really annoys me that the VCR tries to eat my tapes.)
...And dial-up internet, OMG! I had been on dial up for 11 years, until 2013, when we finally upgraded to broadband internet at home. Don't miss having to have my mom yell at me to get off the internet so she could make a call! I also don't miss the frequent timeouts and disconnects, and having to wait 5-10 minutes for a page to finish loading!
My mom has had a collection of albums for quite a long time. For years, though, we didn't have a record player to play them, until 2006, when I found a used unit at Goodwill, and started collecting records myself. I have only a few albums, but have a bunch of 45s and a handful of 78s, some of which I've transferred to digital. I've also transferred some of my mom's albums to CDs.I do remember record players from a kid.
