Hell, I’m a millennial and I had a professor at college maybe five years ago who used an overhead because he refused to figure out how to use PowerPoint with the computer projector.
Back when all that existed for online voicecomms was ventrilo, i took one of those boom mics and taped it to one of the ear muffs of an analog headset meant for cd players, as I could not actually afford a mic+headset combo.
Lol I remember my dad being so excited when he got one of these for our windows 95 PC that he had us record something for it and told us all about how advanced it was.
Reminds me of how everyone is now misusing the term “ROM” to mean “Storage” when it actually means “Read-Only Memory”. Drives me nuts every time I see it in advertising.
I see your slide projector and raise you an overhead projector.

I see your overhead projector and raise you a zip drive and a mini disc. I blow my NES cartridge to bid adieu to you.
I bet a zip drive could blow their minds. The mini disc and nes cartridge wouldn’t even phase them. Stuff like that are too iconic.
Show the Blue Yeti streaming generation the old boom mics we had. The ones that looked like refueling probes.
It’s crazy how ubiquitous those were. Anyone with a mic for their PC had that exact mic.

faze, not phase
Spelling it this way is just a phase.
I barely knew that minidiscs were a thing when they were contemporary.
I always thought zip drives were another term for flash drives because so many people just used the terms interchangably.

They are still considered essential in German schools.
