Update: 2024-09-16

Description

Remember the days when the family used to gather on the living room couch, overjoyed to watch the evening sitcom on a tiny lo-fi screen the size of your computer monitor? Or how about listening to records on your parents "hi-fi" system that was as big as a loveseat? From early Super 8 video recorders to our first Walkmans and pull out car stereos, Gen Xers have seen and heard it all.
