Will Illingworth & Josh Swartz - HiTech Podcast - talk with Steve about Old Tech We Have Found and Compare It to New Tech. This is episode 689 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Will and Josh from the HiTech podcast are back and today we are focused on some old tech that we have found. We spent a couple of months visiting garage sales, estate sales, and stores like Good Will. The purpose was to see what cool old tech we could find and share on the show.
We bring to the table a telescope, scanner, a unique phone, a couple Walkman, a Palm Pilot III, and a movie camera, editing station, and a home movie projector. We share our technology from the past and compare it to technology from today. It is amazing how much old tech has been replaced by one device - Do you know what that device is?
We had a blast talking about old technology.
Thanks, Will and Josh for the great discussion!
That was fun!
