Outdated and unused, this persimmon 2 wood, also known as a Brassie to those in the UK. has been in the garage golf bag for decades. Modern technology steeling to many yards away from the old wooden masterpiece.

For Macro Monday - Anachronism
From the days when all we had was film cameras. I do still use film for some imaging, as do a number of other people.
An interesting theme for me as most things I could find at home that fall into the category I still use.
Happy Macro Monday!
For the Macro Monday challenge "Paper" (Feb 5th)
That is the interesting outcome of some recent research comparing typing to handwriting information 'input'.
In our digital age where writing is seen as old-fashioned, outdated and increasingly a dying 'art', we are constantly being pushed towards a digital 'paradise' where paper no longer has a place. But recent research comparing brain activity when hand-writing with computer keyboard input has revealed that many more areas of the brain are used when writing on paper ... and the level of brain activity is very important in retaining information in your memory. Among many other aspects, writing by hand imprints the look and shape of each letter as we write - a keyboard is just an identical key-press. I would suggest that this shows the importance of teaching children how to write both at school and at home!
That said - I am a devoted digital user, who writes with pen on paper every single day!! And I'm delighted to be a completely 'double' minded oldie 😊
PS. the rolled paper in the shot is a Post-It note!
The research was found in a New Scientist article

HMM! 😊

Crazy Tuesday : Outdated
The hat has been hanging ready to wear in the garden for years! I always forget to use it...

A wireless mouse has no tail. Today, April 1st, Logitech has responded to customer demand and is retiring the outdated term “wireless mouse”, choosing a more appropriate mammal. From now on they are in the hamster business. See promo here:

"The insane asylum" is an outdated term for a mental hospital, which evolved from early institutions that often confined people with mental illness in terrible conditions, to more modern facilities that offer treatment. While some early asylums were envisioned as places of refuge and cure, many became overcrowded and abusive, with patients subjected to neglect, cruel or bizarre "treatments," and isolation. The public perception of asylums has been heavily influenced by this grim history, though the term itself originally meant "shelter" or "grace".

From the years 1920 to 1970, granite was extracted from quarries near Zachenberg, which is located in the Bavaria Forest. The stone carvers used very primitive mechanical tools and a more sophisticated one was this crane from the so-called Wagner-Bruch. Transporting the stones by means of a tractor was started not earlier than 1953.
The quality of the granite was very high, and for example, the Rosenlehner-Bruch, which was in use from 1925 - 1978, was the exclusive supplier of boundary stones for Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia. However, due to the small reserves and the low degree of industrialisation, the exploitation of each quarry (Bruch) ended before 1980.
CSX AC44CW no.s 465 and 487 are seen alone descending down the Hell Gate Bridge approach, crossing the Astoria Line at Astoria-Ditmars Blvd station. The two locomotives, both sporting the outdated YN2 "Bright Future" paint scheme, were heading to pick up a cut of cars from the New York & Atlantic at Fresh Pond Yard, and returned the other way around an hour and a half later.
No longer needed, but too cool to throw out! Found these flash bulbs in one my dads old camera bags. Thank goodness we don't need them anymore! So expensive, plus you needed actual film back then. Only 12, 24 or 36 pics at a time. Egads. lol..
Created for 😄 HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😜 theme of Outdated.
HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday
Vintage (approx. 1980) Bandai Electronics Missile Invader Portable Game - not quite the latest thing anymore :)
Fifth pocket on a pair of five pocket blue genes. The small fifth pocket was originally intended for a pocket watch but almost no one carries a pocket watch these days and few even wear a traditional wristwatch. This small bit of obsolescence is for the Crazy Tuesday Group, challenge, Outdated.
Happy Crazy Tuesday!
A definitely outdated item - it seems it can be used as a clock and a calculator and... It takes time to decrypt the pictograms, but no social networks for sure. Who can need such a gadget?
And I guess next generations will be surprised when told that CDs weren't designed for photography.
CrAzY TuEsDaY - dates back to the mid to late 70's, although I've only had this around 20 years - an early Ebay purchase sold as needing TLC. I stripped the black laquer off the wood with a stanley knife blade to reveal reasonable walnut veneer. Inside I replaced capacitors, resistors and voltage regulaters with the aid of a manual I downloaded. It now works perfectly - I just don't have space to set the amp and it's matching tuner up to use them currently...HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday : )
This thingy is so outdated that I couldn't find a translation. This is a toaster that roasts one side of the bread, and when you think it's done on one side, you have to flip it to get the heat on the other side.
The brand is Omega, Made in GDR - so sometime in the 50s I guess, before everything was just named VEB Elektrowerk Somewhere.
It is still in regular use in our kitchen, we don't want anything else.
This is not the picture I intended - I wanted to show the logo together with the glow from the heating rods, but I couldn't get both sharp at the same time. The chromed surface doesn't help either. The subject is cropped to full three inches, see the first comment for the whole apparatus.
Anachronism for Macro Mondays.
Yet trim and tidy, an older barn and silo sit unused as the farming methods around them have changed. Many in the older generation still have gas left but the roads they once traveled with confidence are now irrelevant.
In the 1960s Citroën renewed the design and technics of their outdated Type 55 (and U23 series) truck series. Flaminio Bertoni (It., 1903-1964) was asked for the cabin design. He was succeeded by Robert Opron (Fr., 1932-2021).
This N and P Series light trucks would be one of the last creations of Bertoni.
This Belphégor truck range was available as N350 up to N850, depending on the load capacity and fuel types.
The owner told me he had an older Belphégor truck with a broken engine. He bought this PD 600 initially to replace the engine. But he decided to keep this one and sold the other one.
