Transcripts

00:00

this week I thought it would be

00:00

interesting to throw away my modern tech

00:03

products and see what it would be like

00:05

to strictly use vintage Tech in the

00:08

Modern

00:09

[Applause]

00:12

Age folks I've been alive for almost 30

00:16

years and in that time I've seen a lot

00:17

of technological advancements for

00:19

example when I was a kid I had to

00:20

download music song by song on Lime wire

00:23

and just pray to God that the virus I

00:25

get wasn't too bad this time dude I

00:27

couldn't even use my computer or the

00:29

home phone at the same time because we

00:31

had dial up internet and freaking

00:33

nowadays you can talk to someone on the

00:35

phone while using that same phone to

00:37

generate a picture of a PS2 made out of

00:40

human skin the future is now and the

00:42

tech that's coming out today is

00:43

obviously pretty mind-blowing the VR

00:45

space for example is getting crazier and

00:47

crazier the Apple Vision Pro just came

00:49

out and people have been losing their

00:51

minds about it and rightfully so because

00:53

with the Apple Vision Pro you can

00:54

finally know the answer to that age-old

00:57

question what would it feel like to

00:59

stand on the moon and look out into the

01:01

vastness of

01:03

space and jerk off that's one small Edge

01:07

for man one giant goon for mankind not

01:10

to mention the world of AI has come a

01:12

very long way since I made a video about

01:14

AI generated art a few years ago open AI

01:17

just teased their text to video project

01:19

called sora which is by far the craziest

01:21

thing I have ever seen in my life if you

01:22

haven't seen it all you have to do is

01:24

type in a prompt and it provides you

01:25

with an insanely realistic video that

01:28

really does not look like AI at at all

01:30

stock video services and video

01:31

production companies are going to be

01:33

absolutely cooked in the next few years

01:35

and I'm really nervous for the future of

01:36

entertainment but I mean you can't deny

01:38

how impressive that technology is right

01:39

with something like Sora you could

01:41

generate virtually anything finally get

01:43

to see what it looks like if someone was

01:45

standing on the surface of the Moon and

01:47

jerking off but the interesting about

01:48

tech is that it's all relative to when

01:51

it comes out sure all of this is

01:52

impressive now but 20 years from now

01:54

we're going to be looking back at this

01:56

laughing same as today when you look at

01:57

an old laptop you're like this piece of

01:59

can barely run anything but at the

02:01

time of the laptop's release people were

02:03

losing their minds about it a computer I

02:05

can fold in half only it didn't cost my

02:09

entire yearly salary of $100 I think the

02:12

tech industry is kind of like a southern

02:13

man's sexual escapades it's all relative

02:17

and I hate to sound like a boomer but I

02:19

often miss the Simplicity and innocence

02:21

of the tech that I grew up with back

02:23

when having millions of songs readily

02:26

available to play Whenever seemed like a

02:28

fantasy because I could only play 30

02:30

second clips of a song at a time off of

02:32

my hit Clips player coming at

02:34

your right between the ears of hit Clips

02:37

so this week I thought it would be

02:38

interesting to throw away my modern tech

02:40

products and see what it would be like

02:42

to strictly use vintage Tech in the

02:45

Modern Age and I've seen some of these

02:47

videos before they use a flip phone and

02:48

a Walkman they call it a day I don't

02:50

want to do that that's too easy so I'm

02:52

going to track down the weirdest most

02:55

obscure vintage Tech products I can find

02:58

and see what it's like to use them in

02:59

the year 2024 so strap in and get ready

03:01

for some weird vintage Tech so

03:04

transparently the main problem I'm

03:06

facing right now in my life is iPad baby

03:09

syndrome I think we caught it early

03:11

enough where it's treatable but I think

03:12

it's still a big issue in my life I I

03:14

I can't stop scrolling dude I don't

03:16

I know I'm not supposed to but it's

03:18

tough call me crazy I love watching

03:19

silly little videos okay and so do you

03:22

you're literally watching one right now

03:23

you know it got me thinking maybe making

03:26

this video can help me kick my addiction

03:29

to watching silly little

03:32

videos is what I would say if I was a

03:34

loser the real question I need

03:36

to ask myself is how can I still get my

03:38

fix of watching silly little videos

03:41

while using vintage technology I used to

03:43

have a thing called a video now when I

03:45

was a kid I would watch the same episode

03:47

of SpongeBob over and over again on a

03:49

tiny screen in black and white because

03:51

that was the only disc I ever had for it

03:53

and I'm not about to put myself through

03:54

that again but upon further

03:56

research I stumbled upon the perfect

03:58

product for my little video fix a Casio

04:01

analog handheld TV and I know what

04:04

you're thinking you're thinking hold on

04:06

didn't they stop broadcasting analog TV

04:09

stations a little bit ago and the answer

04:11

to that is yes they did in America but

04:14

up here in Canada it is apparently still

04:16

possible to get an analog TV signal

04:19

first came the pocket watch then the

04:20

pocket radio then even a pocket camera

04:23

but who would have ever thought of a

04:24

pocket TV Casio of course Casio that's

04:27

it we're crazy we'll make

04:29

anything dude we made a wristwatch that

04:32

can kill God the pocket TV by CIO this

04:35

TV is smaller lighter sharper and

04:37

brighter yeah this seems pretty awesome

04:39

I've never used a portable TV but I

04:40

assume it relies on like a strong signal

04:44

to to work like at length so I imagine

04:46

back in the day using one of these like

04:49

while you're on the go was like next to

04:51

Impossible stop the bus stop the

04:53

05:10

wrong but I found a portable TV on eBay

05:13

I got it for my next vintage tech

05:15

product I was thinking about the other

05:17

things we do on our phones aside from

05:18

just watching videos and that's when I

05:20

remembered the three humongous camera

05:23

05:24

05:28

wherever I go and one that can also show

05:30

me the pictures as soon as I take them

05:32

and that second feature is the thing

05:34

that made finding this product

05:36

especially difficult I looked at some

05:37

Polaroid cameras I was toying with that

05:40

idea I used to have one called an eyes

Zone when I was a kid that looked like a

pretty short on it so if you're going

09:41

for like a really long drive you got to

09:43

talk like super fast Drive North on Main

09:46

Street for 2 miles and left that

09:47

University and follow that for 4 and

09:49

half miles and merge onto the 4 Highway

09:51

going Westbound and stay on that until

09:52

your car out of gas okay yeah so it's

09:54

just a glorified voice recorder where

09:56

you can record little messages and you

09:58

can play later to REM yourself of things

10:00

but also for some reason it has a

10:02

flashlight my little reminder even has a

10:04

built-in LED flashlight just in case you

10:06

forgot to remind yourself to pack a

10:08

flashlight and I'm actually a really

10:09

forgetful person so I'm really excited

10:11

to try this out because oh yeah I got

10:13

one I got my little reminder let's

10:15

actually give it a try really quick

10:17

don't forget to do the brand deal oh

10:19

yeah thank you to Opera for sponsoring

10:22

this video folks I know it's easy to

10:23

just stick with the same browser you've

10:25

been using for years but it gets better

10:27

Opera is faster smarter harder and safer

10:30

than your default browser Opera comes

10:32

chalk full of features as well like Arya

10:34

for example Opera's native browser AI

10:37

it's easily accessible in the sidebar at

10:39

all times and if you need help with

10:40

anything at all then help is right at

10:42

your fingertips I always struggle with

10:44

coming up with titles for my videos and

10:46

Arya is perfect for giving me a little

10:47

nudge in the in the right direction and

10:49

I've always thought that navigating

10:50

other browsers can get confusing really

10:52

quick especially for me when I'm

10:54

researching like several things at once

10:56

it can get messy and out of control but

10:57

with Opera's tab Islands it

10:59

automatically organizes your tabs and

11:01

you can collapse certain Islands to save

11:03

space it's such a simple feature but it

11:05

honestly might be my favorite part about

11:07

Opera it's so useful and it makes

11:09

browsing and organizing practically

11:11

effortless I think security is also

11:13

something we should all be taking into

11:14

consideration and with Opera you get a

11:16

builtin VPN service totally free and

11:19

unlimited so you can browse the internet

11:21

privately and I don't know about you

11:23

guys but I'm on the go pretty often I

11:24

travel a lot so a ton of work that I do

11:27

is on my laptop and sometimes my battery

11:29

is getting drained way tooo fast that's

11:30

why I love Opera's battery saver option

11:33

it's activated with just one simple

11:35

click and it allows me to browse up to

11:37

one hour longer think about how many

11:38

fart sound effects I can add with that

11:40

much time folks this is a no-brainer

11:42

Opera is the better browser in every way

11:44

you can move over all the information

11:46

from your old browser in just minutes

11:47

what the heck are you waiting for use my

11:49

link below to download Opera today you

11:51

won't regret it I promise you that okay

11:53

thank you again to Opera for sponsoring

11:54

this video back to me the other feature

11:56

of my phone that I wanted to try and

11:58

replicate with vintage Tech was the uh

12:01

phone like actually calling people I

12:03

often forget my phone is a phone

12:04

sometimes but that's too easy you know

12:06

phones have been around forever I wanted

12:07

to replicate FaceTime I FaceTime people

12:10

all the time and it's something that I

12:11

would like to continue to do with

12:14

vintage Tech but let me just say this

12:16

finding a product that could do this was

12:18

very difficult upon doing a little bit

12:20

of research I found out that the first

12:22

video call ever actually took place all

12:24

the way back in 1970 by AT&T who

12:27

subsequently launched the first first

12:29

video phone service with 38 picture

12:32

phones as they called them located at

12:34

eight different companies located in

12:36

Pittsburgh kind of ruins the

12:38

entire appeal of video calling if all

12:41

the phones are just within the same city

12:43

but still you know it was pretty cool it

12:44

was the 70s they don't know what was

12:45

going on and due to how expensive and

12:47

complicated those early picture phones

12:49

were the 70s and ' 80s saw no real

12:51

success with this technology but in

12:54

1992 AT&T swung for the fences they took

12:58

another whack at it and released the

13:01

AT&T Video Phone

13:03

2500 for a retail price of

13:07

$1500 adjusted for inflation that's

13:10

about $2800 in today dollar so this was

13:13

a luxury product for sure Tech Bros

13:16

didn't fully exist yet but if MKBHD was

13:19

making videos back then his review would

13:21

have crushed and the release of this

13:22

phone was met with mixed reviews upon

13:24

its release people were impressed with

13:26

the technology obviously but a lot of

13:27

people were worried about the danger of

13:29

video calling but some people want AT&T

13:32

to voluntarily not sell any of the video

13:34

phones to 900 sex line numbers you can

13:38

just imagine unsupervised children being

13:40

able to call a 900 number man you know

13:43

when you watch a disaster movie and it's

13:45

like the first half hour of the film

13:47

when everybody's like having a good time

13:49

laughing and enjoying themselves and in

13:51

your head you're like honey you've got a

13:54

big storm coming that's how I feel

13:55

watching that clip but due to the

13:56

lackluster sales numbers the AT&T Video

13:59

Phone 2500 was discontinued in 1995 but

14:03

I got one yeah and it only cost me $450

14:08

today dollar and that might seem a

14:09

little expensive but when you compare it

14:11

to the original price that's a

14:14

steal now what's the other thing that we

14:15

mainly use our phones for music you got

14:18

Spotify Apple music SoundCloud title and

14:22

many other services that allow us to

14:24

listen to practically any song we want

14:26

whenever we want but back in the day

14:28

they only had a few ways to listen to

14:30

music while they were on the go portable

14:31

radio a cassette player a Walkman or a

14:34

boom box on your shoulder if

14:35

you're a break dancer from an ' 80s

14:37

movie but all that is boring

14:38

honestly a little too cumbersome for me

14:40

I want to be handsfree and I think I

14:42

found the perfect product for me this

14:43

product is called no joke the bone phone

14:49

which is not a video phone sex line

14:51

believe it or not the bone phone is an

14:53

AM FM stereo radio that drapes around

14:55

your neck like a scarf two speakers

14:57

placed near your ears not only provide

15:00

excellent stereo separation but vibrate

15:03

slightly through your bones to give you

15:05

the same sensation of standing in front

15:07

of your home stereo system

15:09

perfect it was released in

15:11

1979 didn't really catch on for obvious

15:14

reasons but a modern reimagining of this

15:16

product was actually released in 2019 by

15:18

Sony there are a few of these for sale

15:20

on eBay so I just ordered the cleanest

15:23

one because a lot of them had like weird

15:25

stains on them for some reason and

15:26

usually if something vibrates and is CED

15:29

in stains I try not to buy it that's

15:31

like my one rule but I had to break it

15:33

for this video I'm willing to uh to try

15:34

it out bone phone secure and before I

15:37

talk about the final product I figured I

15:38

should order a practical device so I can

15:40

still do work stuff like emails and

15:42

whatnot so I ordered a Palm Pilot and no

15:45

a Palm Pilot is not an astronaut jerking

15:47

off on the moon for those of you who

15:48

don't know pal Pilots or handhelds as

15:51

they were called they were essentially

15:53

smartphones before smartphones I wanted

15:56

one as a kid like really bad because of

15:58

this one joke in Max ke's big move I

16:00

want my handheld you want me to hold

16:01

your hand no hilarious handhelds usually

16:04

come with a touchcreen and a stylist and

16:06

you're able to do like tons of things on

16:08

them mostly work related but we'll take

16:09

a closer look at that later on in this

16:11

video okay time for the last product I

16:13

got and this is the this is the

16:15

best one I think with the Apple Vision

16:16

Pro coming out and wearable computers

16:19

slowly becoming more popular in the

16:21

mainstream I wanted to see if there was

16:23

like a vintage equivalent to the Apple

16:26

Vision Pro and by researching old

16:28

wearable computer I found the

16:30

craziest thing ever the cybernaut

16:33

ma4 wearable computer holy

16:37

cybernauts ma4 is the ultimate in Uber

16:40

geek wear with all the autr mons this

16:43

wearable PC weighs about 9 lb and allows

16:46

you to compute anywhere the base unit

16:48

consists of a 200 MHz pennium MMX with

16:51

128 megabytes Ram incase in a plastic

16:54

shell that attaches to your waist the

16:56

wrist mounted keyboard floppy Drive I

16:59

got a floppy drive right here for

17:00

battery pack and head-mounted display

17:02

all plug into the shell the windin LCD

17:04

reflects onto a semi-transparent 2-in

17:06

reflective surface that projects the

17:08

Windows desktop into your right eyes

17:10

line of sight the unit runs all standard

17:12

Windows apps and supports voice commands

17:15

sure the price is steep but cybernaut

17:17

includes a built-in camera that captures

17:19

video to a land you'll laugh we did when

17:22

you see yourself decked out in this Robo

17:23

Weare but the thing actually works while

17:25

we couldn't imagine actually using the

17:27

ma4 for more than a minute even if we

17:29

got one for free it could be useful in

17:31

industrial situations such as sewer

17:33

tunnels manufacturing plants and job

17:35

training facilities okay nice really

17:36

selling it guys and yeah this is $10,000

17:39

that's going to be like close to 20

17:40

grand for this thing now I also love how

17:41

they were hyping up the product for 90%

17:43

And the last 10% of this article they're

17:45

like listen you look like a

17:46

ass loser you're going to look

17:48

and you probably won't be able to

17:50

wear it for like more than a minute but

17:52

it's kind of cool I don't know so this

17:53

crazy thing came out in

17:55

1999 and it looks straight out

17:58

of The Matrix I can't believe this thing

18:00

uh you got a keyboard on your

18:01

arm that looks like a Yu-Gi-Oh dual dis

18:03

you got a camera a microphone a screen

18:06

that goes over your eye just imagine if

18:07

this caught on you're walking into an up

18:09

packed office building no desks just a

18:12

bunch of dudes decked out in these

18:13

things just standing in a huddle

18:15

dude this is like my favorite time

18:18

period for Tech products late '90s early

18:20

2000s was Peak cuz like the idea is were

18:23

clearly there we're still trying to do

18:24

this today but we were nowhere close in

18:27

terms of technological advancements CU

18:29

like personally I don't even think the

18:31

Apple Vision Pro is worth it today CU

18:33

just cuz it's huge and you need

18:34

to carry a battery pack with you and

18:36

like I don't think the technolog is

18:37

there yet and that's today they tried

18:39

that 25 years ago too and there was

18:42

actually like only one of these

18:44

available on eBay in working condition

18:47

so I'm really glad I secured it yeah

18:50

cyber not secur and guys I read a

18:52

lot about this thing cuz I was so

18:54

fascinated by it so it was mainly used

18:55

by people who work with their hands but

18:58

still need need to access like important

19:00

information like on the go so people

19:02

like construction workers or even NASCAR

19:05

pit Crews cybernaut had high hopes for

19:07

this product though they were picturing

19:09

the cybernaut Utopia where military and

19:11

Law Enforcement Officers would be

19:13

wearing these things at all times and

19:15

call me crazy I think that would have

19:16

been awesome put your hands up yeah

19:18

that's right I got you cuz of my smart

19:20

glasses I need

19:23

backup gosh not

19:27

now sick tired of these man are you okay

19:32

yes I'm

19:36

fine there's too many of

19:39

them there's too many of them where's my

19:43

backup your backup is been here for like

19:45

an

19:47

hour and I actually found a video of two

19:49

guys explaining the cybernaut wearable

19:52

computer in detail and if the computer

19:54

is half as good as this audio quality

19:56

and you'll have your stopping and your

19:57

banking you'll have your St

19:59

I'm the Washington Post reported

20:01

that cybernaut didn't manage to sell

20:03

more than 10,000 of the wearable

20:05

computers over its 15-year tenure

20:07

whatever the case things came to a head

20:09

when criminal charges were filed for

20:11

fraud against three men associated with

20:13

the 1996 IPO and there was the fact that

20:16

the company had lost 162 million since

20:20

1990 cybernaut filed for bankruptcy in

20:24

2005 so the thing was an absolute flop

20:26

but hey who knows right maybe it's like

20:28

a fine wine gets better with age maybe

20:30

that's the case for all these products

20:31

but there's only one way to find

20:32

[Music]

20:39

out all right I figured we would start

20:42

with the handheld uh it didn't come with

20:44

any batteries uh this was before the

20:46

rechargeable battery craze but I did get

20:48

this cool leather case pretty Sleek

20:51

let's turn this thing on Tab Center of

20:54

Target I guess this is like for uh for

20:56

calibration dude it says it's January

20:59

2nd 1999 that is crazy okay wao we got a

21:02

lot of stuff here dude what's graffiti

21:05

write these

21:06

letters oh you can actually like write

21:09

whoa okay so if I

21:11

go

21:12

B oh this is crazy and if I go down here

21:16

for numbers

21:20

dude this is

21:27

wild

21:32

[Music]

21:34

penis what else do we got here okay memo

21:37

pad can I type

21:44

or I'm trying to write hello but it's

21:46

not working h

21:50

e and it's turned off okay let's see if

21:53

I can add something to my uh to my

21:55

calendar so maybe at three I will

21:59

eat so my main goal was to use this for

22:02

typing things out and responding to

22:04

emails and stuff but I got to say it is

22:06

like next to impossible to write things

22:08

on this handheld dude it's like learning

22:11

a whole new language like it's learning

22:14

how to write a whole new alphabet just

22:15

to use this product I feel like it's so

22:17

like counterproductive yeah I spent like

22:20

5 minutes trying to type into my

22:21

calendar that I was going to eat at 300

22:27

p.m.

22:31

there we

22:33

go now I can plan out my day and after

22:35

jumping over that three-letter hurdle I

22:38

felt on top of the world I felt like I

22:40

could conquer anything but then I made a

22:42

devastating realization I should have

22:44

realize this but I guess I can't really

22:46

use this product to its full potential

22:49

in its current state because it's like

22:51

25 years old and just the support

22:54

doesn't really exist anymore for it yeah

22:57

my dumbass fully expected this thing to

22:59

have Wi-Fi capabilities but it does not

23:02

you have to like type in your phone

23:03

number for this thing to work and I did

23:05

that and nothing happen so I'll never

23:07

get to use this device to its full

23:09

potential which is sad but I decided on

23:11

a way that I can still use it going

23:13

forward maybe I will carry this around

23:15

just as like um a thing to you know jot

23:18

my my notes down sometimes I I'll I'll

23:21

walk around I'll think of an idea I'll

23:23

type it in on my phone but maybe instead

23:25

that's what I'll use this for even

23:26

though I'm not very good at using it and

23:32

also I think I might have just broken it

23:35

oh no yeah while I was talking about how

23:38

I can't use the handheld to its full

23:40

potential because it's pretty useless

23:42

the handheld computer became even more

23:45

useless unless this is like a a secret

23:47

message or something that we have to

23:49

decode together it's a clue I'm going to

23:51

steal the Declaration of Independence so

23:52

I did the good oldfashioned reboot where

23:54

you take the battery out and put it back

23:56

in and that seemed to do the trick but

23:57

that also made me realize a pretty huge

23:59

design flaw I guess every time you take

24:01

the batteries out it resets which

24:03

doesn't really make sense to me on just

24:04

like a a basic level on operating this

24:06

thing cuz like batteries they die right

24:08

so you have to switch them out every

24:10

time what if you had like super

24:11

important on here and you're

24:12

supposed to keep super important on

24:14

here like there's a literally a thing

24:16

called security if you had a bunch of

24:18

like important stuff on here and then

24:21

the battery dies I guess you're just

24:22

like could you imagine that today

24:24

if every time your phone died everything

24:26

on it was deleted and totally

24:28

Gone Forever all right well that about

24:30

does it for that so far I'm going to

24:32

keep using this I guess uh I'm going to

24:34

try to anyway yeah so far I'm about 20

24:36

years late to this but I'm feeling like

24:38

a 1 out of 10 right now for this thing

24:39

dude I would not I would not recommend

24:41

using one of these okay boldis call up

24:43

my pilot okay a pilot is supposed to be

24:45

knowledgeable skilled yeah this is this

24:48

is more of a palm passenger I don't I

24:50

don't know this is not good but who

24:51

knows we maybe it'll grow on me so

24:53

things were not off to a good start I

24:55

was so excited to use this cool piece of

24:57

technology but it was fortunately

24:59

abandoned by Society handhelds were

25:01

viewed as Obsolete and were tossed aside

25:04

when blackberries were introduced to the

25:06

market but hey what goes around comes

25:08

around but I was determined to

25:09

seamlessly integrate the rest of the

25:11

Vintage Tech into my everyday life so I

25:13

figured after the first piece of

25:15

technology didn't really work at all I

25:17

decided to try one that would definitely

25:18

still work the portable TV I've been

25:21

doing some more research and apparently

25:23

it's like next to impossible to find an

25:25

analog signal but I have hope maybe I'll

25:28

find something cool I just want to watch

25:30

one episode of SpongeBob on here okay

25:32

but no it's it's pretty cool it it fits

25:33

right in your hand you know it's a

25:35

handheld TV so it makes sense you got

25:38

different channels there I think the UHF

25:40

stands for you're having fun I think

25:43

that's what that means cuz you have fun

25:45

when you watch TV and the VHF stands for

25:48

V having fun yes V having fun I'm so I

25:52

guess the only thing you have to do here

25:53

is just get this bird to shut the

25:56

up okay so it's searching for channels

25:57

right now now I flipped from you're

25:59

having fun to V having fun over and over

26:02

waiting for a miracle to happen but I

26:04

was hoping at the very least the TV

26:06

would somehow pick up some audio can't

26:08

really hear anything either I scanned

26:09

for a signal for a few more minutes but

26:11

nothing came up so nothing works anymore

26:13

none of this works anymore

26:15

that's great then I realized I forgot to

26:17

use the actual part of the TV that

26:19

receives signals oh yeah the antenna all

26:22

right I'm going to go try it out in my

26:24

yard so I was feeling pretty confident

26:25

now that I had this big long antenna am

26:27

I right fellas unfortunately the results

26:29

were the same as they were when the

26:31

antenna was collapsed and just goes to

26:33

show you man it ain't the size of the

26:34

boat it's the motion of the ocean still

26:36

nothing thinking maybe I'm not high

26:38

enough so I smoked a bunch of weed and

26:40

then I tried it no I'm kidding I'm going

26:41

to try going out of my window there to

26:43

see if I get anything else but this is

26:44

not looking too good for me I extended

26:47

my arm outside of my window reaching for

26:50

the heavens praying for a miracle my

26:53

handheld TV was trying and trying

26:56

searching for a signal that would not

26:58

find find it another piece of technology

27:00

forgotten by its creators it tried and

27:02

tried but to no avail

27:05

unfortunately we have

27:11

failed didn't work all right so this

27:13

isn't off to a very good start the

27:16

handheld was a whole thing this TV

27:18

doesn't work at all I feel like

27:20

Napoleon Dynamite when you tried to use

27:22

that time machine it's a piece of crap

27:24

it doesn't work maybe I just forgot to

27:26

put in the crystals and in my head I'm

27:28

like okay maybe I could use this maybe I

27:29

could like connect like a N64 to this or

27:32

something you know but there's no

27:33

there's not even any plugs to let me do

27:34

that so there's literally no way this is

27:36

a brick I can't do anything with this so

27:38

I think I'm going to give this handheld

27:39

TV a zero out of 10 don't get one of

27:41

these looking back the research I did

27:44

before purchasing the handheld TV was

27:46

not thorough enough there are still

27:48

analog stations in Canada but the

27:50

closest one to me is like 3 hours away

27:53

the whole reason I got the TV was to

27:55

watch little videos but if the only way

27:57

to do that is for me to Drive 3 hours

27:59

there watch some videos and then drive 3

28:01

hours home there's no way I'm

28:03

not going to do that and this is usually

28:04

when YouTubers say just kidding I did it

28:06

but no I'm not doing that okay

28:08

can you imagine every time you wanted to

28:09

watch Tik Tok or post a Tik Tok you had

28:11

to drive 3 hours to a small town for it

28:13

to work okay actually on second thought

28:15

that would actually be a good thing I

28:16

think we'd see a lot less crazy on

28:18

there if it took a lot more work to post

28:20

stuff dude I saw a video last week of a

28:22

guy chewing on a mailbox hey guys let's

28:24

chew on this mailbox that I found on the

28:26

side of the road

28:28

you're not driving 3 hours to Poe that

28:31

okay you've got time to reflect but

28:32

after these two hand sized devastating

28:36

blows I figured it was time to try out

28:38

the product that I knew for a fact would

28:41

still work what time is it camera time

28:44

check that out

28:45

dude okay so from afar it looks like a

28:47

normal watch right like in the distance

28:49

I'd be like okay that's just a normal

28:50

Casio watch but up close it's pretty

28:52

it's pretty chunky look like

28:54

bend hen yeah it tells the time and

28:56

everything just like a regular watch

28:58

I've got two little baby wrists

28:59

apparently because I had to remove some

29:01

links from this watch when I got it

29:03

which I've never done before and it was

29:04

pretty fun removing those links jeez

29:06

listen to me removing links who am I

29:09

Gondor but once I got it fitting on my

29:11

wrist it actually didn't look too bad I

29:13

do have a couple watches I I like

29:16

watches I have some cool ones I got a

29:18

cool Casio from the 8S I got the first

29:20

original Apple watch but this one is

29:22

definitely the most unique one in the in

29:24

the collection for sure now a couple

29:26

years ago I got a DM from Ice boox in

29:28

Atlanta like that popular Jeweler and

29:30

they asked me if I like needed any

29:33

jewelry so you know maybe I'll bring

29:34

this into them you know get it bust down

29:36

get that bust down wrist camera yeah I

29:39

mean I only ever use the camera on my

29:41

phone to take pictures of my dog so I

29:44

figured I would try to take some with

29:46

this okay I feel bad because I woke kiwi

29:48

up from a nap so he could pose in my

29:50

pictures but he was sitting very still

29:52

because he's a very good boy and it had

29:54

nothing to do with the fact that he was

29:55

tired and confused but after a minute or

29:57

so I got got the shots I took two

29:59

pictures of them and they honestly

30:00

didn't turn out that bad the only tricky

30:02

thing with the wrist camera is you have

30:03

to keep your arm like incredibly still

30:06

while you take the photo or else it's

30:07

going to look super blurry and obviously

30:09

it's a little cumbersome and awkward to

30:11

use now because we're all so used to our

30:14

iPhones but back in 2001 this would have

30:16

been a great little Gadget to have to

30:17

take pictures while you're on the go the

30:19

only other difficult thing about this

30:21

watch is the uh file management with

30:24

iPhones you can sort your photos by time

30:26

location date faces but with the wrist

30:29

camera you could just scroll left or

30:32

right and it also takes an insanely long

30:34

time to delete photos to delete a photo

30:37

you need to hold down the top left

30:38

button while on the photo you want to

30:40

delete then the bottom right to scroll

30:42

down to the delete option and then press

30:44

the camera button to select the delete

30:46

option and then the bottom right button

30:48

again to select the specified picture

30:50

instead of deleting all of the pictures

30:52

then you press the camera button again

30:54

press the bottom right button to scroll

30:56

down to yes press the camera button

30:58

again and then you

31:00

wait and then you wait a little bit

31:04

longer it's almost

31:06

done it'll be deleted in just a

31:10

second you wait just one more second and

31:13

it's deleted and I had to do this like

31:15

90 times because I realized the person

31:19

who had this watch before me didn't

31:21

delete any of the pictures on it I'm not

31:24

blurring these photos because they're

31:25

up or anything I just don't want

31:27

to put people in my video who don't want

31:29

to be in my video but it was mostly just

31:30

really cute selfies of like an older

31:33

gentleman he looked really nice okay

31:34

sorry my other microphone died so I got

31:36

to use my iPhone like I'm a street

31:38

interviewer gay son or thought daughter

31:41

trick question the answer is both okay

31:43

so after playing with this thing for a

31:44

little bit uh it's actually pretty cool

31:46

D she said I've been doing some research

31:48

on how to get the pictures off of the

31:51

watch onto a computer apparently I don't

31:54

know if you can see but there's like a

31:56

little scanner beside the lens

31:58

that apparently can like transfer the

32:01

images using like infrared or some

32:03

there's a PC link kit that was supposed

32:05

to come with this and the original box

32:06

that I don't have and from what I'm

32:07

reading on Reddit it's just like a whole

32:09

ordeal to get them onto the computer but

32:13

just like the other products if I got

32:14

this when it came out and I had

32:16

everything that I needed to do it I

32:17

would have loved this thing this

32:19

thing was awesome it's like really cool

32:20

and it's just like fun you know like why

32:22

aren't we doing this more we need a

32:23

camera on the Apple watch okay I

32:25

actually think I might wear this like in

32:28

my everyday life it's just kind of cool

32:29

you know and it's a little Conversation

32:31

Piece yeah initial thoughts wrist Camera

32:34

7 out of 10 pretty cool and after that

32:36

risk Cammer experience my week was back

32:38

on track it made me feel a lot better

32:40

also around this point of the week I did

32:42

some more research on my handheld

32:44

computer and I discovered if you tap the

32:45

Little Dot in the corner an actual

32:48

keyboard pops up that allows you to type

32:50

a lot quicker thank God so whenever I

32:53

had an idea for a joke I would just

32:54

write it in my handheld okay and this is

32:56

what I got I won an award for having the

32:59

biggest

33:00

shoes and that's no small

33:03

feet I also wrote down horse girls are

33:06

just Car Guys born in the wrong

33:10

generation you know horses used to be

33:13

cars and then I put down uh they say

33:16

plants getting too much sun is bad for

33:19

them my dad never had that

33:22

problem it's an absent father joke and I

33:24

wrote down I don't know if this is a

33:26

joke really but I wrote down if you're

33:27

allergic to peanuts and you're on death

33:29

row uh your last meal should just be a

33:32

jar of peanut butter you know go out on

33:34

your own terms

33:35

so it's good for something but a lot of

33:37

the times I would think of a joke and

33:39

forget to put it into my handheld if

33:42

only there was a device that could

33:44

remind me of stuff like that all right

33:46

guys I think it's time to take a closer

33:48

look at my little reminder got my cowboy

33:52

table

33:54

here so my little reminder it's it's

33:56

small I guess that's why they call it my

33:57

little reminder fits in the palm of your

33:59

hand it's got this key ring

34:00

thing on it so you can put it on your

34:02

keychain if you want and I don't know if

34:03

you can tell but listen to

34:05

this it's pretty noisy even if you take

34:08

the key ring

34:10

out it should be called my little

34:14

moraca you know usually having a noisy

34:16

product is fine if it's like a stereo or

34:18

something but for something that records

34:20

audio it's pretty detrimental to it I'll

34:23

record something really quick so you

34:24

guys know what I mean milk juice butter

34:28

eggs milk juice butter eggs every time

34:32

you use it you can hear the

34:34

clinking and clattering around every

34:36

time I play an audio that I recorded on

34:38

here it sounded like I was wearing a

34:39

suit of armor while recording the

34:43

audio go see my friends at the round

34:45

table and then go to the pub to enjoy a

34:48

tanker the quality is just bad like

34:51

overall it sounds like but that's

34:54

a a

34:56

flashbang and there's only three buttons

34:58

and only two of them have to do with the

35:00

actual reminding it's either record or

35:02

play and it's weird because you can only

35:04

really remind yourself of like one thing

35:07

cuz like as soon as you press record it

35:09

immediately overwrites the previous

35:10

recording so it's like really not that

35:13

useful like I don't see the appeal

35:15

really and this thing only records 20

35:17

seconds at a time so like you couldn't

35:18

even do a full grocery list and I'll

35:20

prove that to you I want to see how long

35:22

it would actually record if I just read

35:24

out a standard regular list of groceries

35:27

that I pretty much get every week or 2

35:29

weeks one large cucumber two tomatoes to

35:32

put under the Cucumber so they look like

35:33

the Cucumbers balls 40 boxes of seis 5 G

35:37

of weed from the cashier behind the

35:39

grocery store when he's on his break one

35:41

large container of KY Jelly a bushel of

35:43

bananas a bottle of their finest Scotch

35:46

every Men's Health Magazine they have

35:48

available see and that now it's done and

35:50

that's all you get it just stopped I

35:51

still had two items on there whipped

35:53

cream and sushi for me to eat off of my

35:56

own naked body but I assume assume if

35:57

you have like severe memory issues this

36:00

this could help out but I still would

36:02

like to try and use this for something

36:04

so I'm going to go get a a coffee order

36:06

for me uh and my wife I asked my wife

36:08

what she wanted from the coffee shop and

36:09

she said a small hot chocolate please so

36:12

I recorded my order into my little

36:14

reminder well I mean we're married so

36:15

it's our little reminder medium coffee

36:18

two cream two sugar and a small hot

36:21

chocolate medium coffee two cream two

36:24

sugar and a small hot chocolate I'll get

36:26

a medium coffee with two two creams and

36:28

Two Sugars and a small hot chocolate

36:30

fuckum C sugar and a small hot chocolate

36:34

I'll get a medium coffee two cream two

36:36

sugar and a small hot chocolate I'll get

36:37

a medium coffee with two cream two

36:39

chocolate and small Hot Sugar

36:41

car coming should have reminded myself

36:43

on here to look both ways and

36:48

cof it's just me and

36:53

Myer I made it to the coffee shop and

36:55

played the order one more time for good

36:58

medium coffee two cream two sugar and a

37:00

small hot chocolate now was time to see

37:02

if it worked hi how's it

37:07

[Music]

37:13

going hot chocolate I could barely

37:15

contain myself I wanted to jump for joy

37:18

I wanted to scream from the rooftops I

37:20

can remember anything with my coffee

37:23

order in hand I felt like a million

37:25

bucks I started dreaming about other

37:27

things I could maybe remember one day

37:29

what to get at the grocery store what to

37:31

do at red lights what to do with toilet

37:33

paper after I go number two stuff that I

37:35

always forget I knew my wife was going

37:37

to be proud of me too so I went back to

37:39

my car and um uh where did I park my

37:44

car oh no okay I found my car you can

37:47

say what you want about my little

37:48

reminder but it worked I remember those

37:50

two drinks somehow so that means I can

37:52

put a new recording on here my little

37:54

reminder I hardly know her

37:58

my little reminder I know her so in the

38:03

commercial the guy also used the my

38:05

little reminder for directions so I

38:07

figured I would try that later tonight

38:08

I'm going to a premiere of St bu's day

38:12

which is a TV special that I am acting

38:14

in it was like my my first big acting

38:16

gig by the time this video comes out you

38:17

can watch it on crave if you're in

38:19

Canada but the premiere is tonight so I

38:21

figured I will go home and record the

38:24

directions on the Milo reminder so I

38:26

know how to get there when I'm driving

38:27

unfortunately the premiere was happening

38:29

in Hamilton and I had to drive from

38:32

downtown Toronto so it was going to be

38:33

like an hour drive and I quickly

38:35

realized that it was not humanly

38:37

possible for me to read all the

38:39

directions in 20 seconds ran out of time

38:41

okay so this doesn't record long enough

38:43

for me to say all the directions so I

38:45

figured I would record all the

38:47

directions put them in a audio editing

38:50

software double the time and then record

38:53

that with this so they can fit all of it

38:55

so here we go and I know you're probably

38:57

think thinking using your computer to

38:59

speed up your audio is cheating that's

39:01

modern technology and you know what

39:03

that's a good point but on the other

39:06

hand shut up okay I just sped up the

39:09

directions by three times and it's just

39:11

under 20 seconds so this should work I

39:13

just have to record it on my my little

39:16

[Music]

39:25

reminder on the drive there I started to

39:27

get a little lost so I played the

39:29

recording on my little reminder and if

39:31

you thought it was difficult to

39:32

understand on the computer listen to

39:33

what it sounded like on my little

39:41

reminder incomprehensible by the grace

39:43

of God I made it to the premiere without

39:44

any help for my little reminder and I

39:46

was going to say that like in the Modern

39:48

Age my little reminder just it's pretty

39:50

much useless but I also think it was

39:52

useless back when it came out my little

39:54

reminder is going to get a 2 out of 10

39:56

from me h which product is next my

39:58

little reminder when you're done pooping

40:01

grab the toilet paper and do one clean

40:03

swipe from the bottom of the crack to

40:05

the top I don't know what that stop stop

40:07

stop that's not that's not real turn off

40:09

turn it off turn off

40:13

42:50

wall yo I would have lost my

42:52

mind if I had this in 2001 dude I love

42:54

how it's really uh laggy so at one

42:56

second you can be like like oh wow I

42:58

love you I love talking to you on the

42:59

phone I love it I love it you

43:03

you dude I hate this I love

43:05

it I love this I love it I love life I

43:08

wish this caught on like quicker you

43:09

call 911 while you're choking or

43:11

something and you can't really talk

43:13

right cuz you're choking so if I bought

43:14

911 on video you could just be

43:16

[Music]

43:18

like so I wanted to know how this video

43:20

phone would actually function and

43:22

luckily it came with the manual after a

43:24

call has been established with someone

43:26

with another video phone you can press

43:27

video at any time to begin transmitting

43:29

your video image okay for a 2-way video

43:31

call the video button on both video

43:32

phones must be pressed before I can see

43:34

a picture the other person must also

43:36

press video okay so here's the thing

43:37

guys I have a really cool piece of

43:41

technology here um and again like the

43:44

other products in this video I can't

43:46

use it to its full potential I

43:47

can just half use it and sort of Marvel

43:50

in its weirdness so unfortunately this

43:53

is yet another product that works but

43:56

doesn't work like it was rare to find

43:58

another person who had a video phone

44:01

back when this came out but it's

44:02

infinitely more rare today 25

44:05

years later but still this is like the

44:06

common theme that I'm seeing with

44:08

vintage Tech we're moving at such a

44:11

Fast Pace technologically and

44:14

like really cool interesting unique

44:16

products are cast aside and left to

44:19

collect dust with no simple way to use

44:21

them and I don't know man it's hard not

44:23

to feel sad about that okay so far only

44:25

like half of the product have actually

44:27

like worked to their full potential I

44:30

can't fully use this like I said but I

44:32

am going to give this N9 out of 10 this

44:34

thing is really cool wo I just

44:35

got a crazy idea hold on I got my

44:37

special watch

44:40

on can I be the first person to take a

44:42

picture of an AT&T video phone with a

44:45

Casio wrist camera guys you are

44:47

witnessing history in the

44:51

making beautiful first guy to do it wow

44:55

show up to school after Christmas break

44:57

and be like yo I got a wrist camera and

44:59

an AT&T video phone and and your friends

45:01

are like no way I don't I don't

45:02

believe you and then you go bam two in

45:04

one you show him the video phone

45:06

on the rist camera you talking

45:08

about you talking about that would

45:09

have been such a flex dude all right on

45:11

to the next product don't mind me just

45:13

going to take my elevator

45:14

[Applause]

45:23

there despite a lot of these products

45:25

not working fully I was having a great

45:28

time with my vintage technology but

45:30

there was something missing music and

45:31

that video phone was really cool but I

45:33

think it's time to try out a phone of

45:36

the bone variety so my buddy Jacob came

45:38

over so we could try out the bone phone

45:40

together you have a bone phone with your

45:41

brother we are here to try out the bone

45:44

phone this is what I feel like to be

45:46

trying the bone phone I probably

45:47

shouldn't be putting my mouth so close

45:48

to it cuz it's like from the 70s so like

45:50

I said this came out in 1979 um if you

45:53

want to get a closeup there we got the

45:55

AM FM switch there and you can like I

45:59

guess dial it to which station you want

46:01

volume control onof button and then tone

46:05

low and high I don't know what that

46:06

means should have said bone it's like

46:08

when you're um when you talk back to

46:10

your mom she's like glower your tone

46:12

it's like that I guess yeah is there an

46:14

attitude button on yeah this music is

46:16

too angry so this actually takes doublea

46:18

batteries which I'm a big fan of um and

46:20

to get to the batteries you kind of have

46:22

to peel down the for skin

46:25

on

46:27

on the bone phone I wish the bone was a

46:30

cut on this phone yeah uncircumcised

46:32

bone phone and this does have a few

46:34

stains okay so moment of

46:39

truth it's my favorite song okay so it

46:41

works so how about we find also just

46:43

sounded like like a man

46:45

screaming let me

46:48

out it's a man in the

46:52

bone I can't play any more of the song

46:54

because it'll get a copyright claim but

46:56

it worked also it seemed pretty fitting

46:58

for a floppy snake looking thing to play

46:59

a Drakes on you guys see that video oh

47:02

my God but it was time to see if the

47:04

bone phone delivers on its promise the

47:07

main thing that the bone phone was uh

47:09

advertising was how it vibrates your

47:11

bones it sort of vibrates you it gives

47:13

you a gives you a sensation of standing

47:15

in front of a stereo you say vibrates

47:16

you again vibrates you it VI what does

47:20

it do it vibrates you okay let's see

47:23

what it feels like again can't play the

47:24

song for copyright reasons but initially

47:26

I didn't feel any vibration but

47:28

something happened when I move my

47:29

shoulders a bit okay now oh wow it must

47:32

have awoken the bone phone's dormant

47:34

power because this is when I really

47:36

started feeling the vibration through my

47:44

bone at that time I felt it it did kind

47:47

of feel like it was I was in front of a

47:49

stereo last one uh fill in the blank

47:52

here if x player has a strong season uh

47:56

that will greatly augment the cups

47:57

chances yeah I'm going to go with

47:59

Michael Bush here I got a Michael Bush

48:01

right here for you you want to try this

48:02

I kind of do okay wo it does like it has

48:05

some weight to it this looks

48:09

cool oh it's pretty loud like you can I

48:11

can't really feel it like exactly in my

48:15

bones ET phone bone we started playing

48:18

around with a tone setting and it was

48:20

tough to figure out what it actually did

48:22

but we think it's to control like the

48:24

base of the audio we could be wrong I

48:26

honestly I have no idea why that's there

48:28

but after trying this thing out I asked

48:29

Jacob to give his rating I would give

48:31

this

48:32

uh the tone the attitude I'd say like

48:35

maybe i' give it that like nine just

48:38

because of the Ingenuity I've never seen

48:41

anything like this it's completely

48:43

handsfree well unless you need to turn

48:44

it on or do anything outside of that as

48:47

soon as you're turned on you're moving

48:49

and grooving from my bone aspect I'm

48:51

going to give it I'm going to give it a

48:52

three three bones I love what they were

48:54

trying to do again the tone the attitude

48:56

cuz it's like a little scarf yeah like

48:58

think you're going to be like well why

49:00

don't you shove it up your dick

49:02

hole why don't you widly suck my

49:07

balls all right folks this whole week

49:10

has been leading up to this the craziest

49:12

piece of vintage technology I have ever

49:15

laid my hands on cybernaut ma4 wearable

49:19

computer they came in this crazy

49:22

ass ow ow I stepped on that it came

49:26

in this deal or no deal type uh

49:29

briefcase imagine pull up to like the

49:31

airport airport security with only this

49:33

can I check this is this a carry on

49:35

it'll fit yeah pretty cool that it came

49:36

with the original case um unfortunately

49:39

though there's two versions of it with

49:41

cyber View and with cyber panel and with

49:43

the Cyber panel it's just like uh this

49:46

screen here the Cyber view is actually

49:48

the one with the headset and the thing

49:51

and I messaged the seller and he didn't

49:52

have it so it never came with it which

49:54

sucks cuz I was really excited to have

49:55

it there but I am convinced to make this

49:58

work truth bead I didn't know what TBH

50:01

meant I thought it meant truth bead

50:03

truth bead me and Jacob we were really

50:05

trying to get this thing working cuz it

50:07

comes with um we got a battery pack here

50:09

and we got another charging thing over

50:11

there but this is the actual computer

50:13

this is the the the Cloris of

50:18

the computer can you remember old

50:19

laptops had that little little

50:21

nub that little red thing so

50:23

this is like that this is like the mouse

50:25

left click right click and is the actual

50:27

computer keyboard that goes on your arm

50:30

this is the screen and this screen has a

50:32

thing for your arm to go through as well

50:33

I might just have to be a screen

50:36

keyboard I don't know where the

50:37

computer's going to

50:39

go I don't know how I'm going to control

50:41

it when I'm on the go I think we got to

50:42

tape it to you just duct tape it

50:43

to me that's the only thing that really

50:45

makes sense

50:48

[Music]

50:49

unless I could just put it through and

50:51

then it could just sort of like hang on

50:53

to my remember when we were in high

50:55

school and like that like buckles were

50:57

huge yeah they were big culturally and

50:59

physically they were big and then this

51:00

also has to go somewhere too that it's

51:02

only really being used the keyboard cuz

51:05

there's nothing for the keyboard to but

51:07

Connect into here what's great about

51:09

this little like power bar is just like

51:11

the potential of what you can plug in

51:13

that's like there's a USB which is

51:15

actually pretty crazy right like isn't

51:17

that insane I could put like a USB stick

51:19

in there could put in a iPhone

51:22

charger yeah well not these days not

51:25

these days no lightning Port

51:28

Steve Jobs that one too do your job

51:31

Steve sorry he's dead right yeah so was

51:34

the guy who made

51:35

this he's dead financially yes but

51:37

apparently this is um this is like a a

51:40

case for the the battery pack that's

51:42

supposed to sort of clip in I guess to

51:44

your belt also but we have one issue

51:48

that we have to figure out because we

51:50

tried this battery pack and it says it's

51:52

75% charged but it's not working when we

51:55

plugged it in but but it's working when

51:57

it's plugged into that battery plugged

51:59

into the wall so maybe I'm guessing like

52:01

maybe these batteries just like maybe

52:02

aren't as good anymore cuz they're like

52:04

so old as for right now we have to

52:06

figure out a way for me to actually do

52:07

this in in the world cuz the whole thing

52:09

is you're supposed to be wearing it

52:10

right you can't just be sitting at a

52:11

thing with it on cuz then you

52:12

can just have a computer so we're going

52:14

to plug this in and just get it up and

52:16

running just to do a quick little uh

52:18

look at what it looks like I gathered

52:19

all the components together and began

52:21

setting up on the ground beside the

52:22

outlet and it's just so crazy how many

52:25

different pieces there are to make this

52:27

thing work so many wires man what is

52:30

this that show The

52:35

Wire um okay so this is the power see on

52:38

the other

52:40

side all right and now we turn it on waa

52:45

so this should be turning on at any

52:50

moment

52:53

oh wow cyber nut cyber cyber nut that's

52:57

hilarious oh it came with a little

52:59

stylus W make sort of Doodles or yeah or

53:04

maybe write a write a Nolla yeah oh all

53:07

right whoa genius inside

53:11

TMI oh my God it's like a like a real

53:13

desktop yeah holy Internet Explorer

53:16

let's go let's see what happens wow no

53:18

way cool okay so it's it's just pretty

53:21

much like a computer oh dude

53:24

they got

53:25

paint

53:29

yeah okay I don't think I can show the

53:31

rest because I drew a pretty detailed

53:32

wiener but that's just guys being DED

53:34

man you give any guy something to draw

53:37

with and something to draw on they're

53:39

going to draw at least one dick okay

53:40

that's just the way it goes dude this is

53:42

awesome that is the Cyber nut that is I

53:45

just threw the Cyber nut save changes

53:47

Yep this is the perfect time to use the

53:49

keyboard sorry let me take my wrist

53:51

camera off it as I was strapping on the

53:53

keyboard Jacob said reminded him of a

53:55

Yu-Gi-Oh dual disc and I told him that

53:57

was a comparison that I made as well but

53:59

he also had another genius comparison

54:01

the web shooters ooh yeah dude web web

54:06

this is the original web shooter that's

54:09

crazy this is the original hul the world

54:12

dude the worldwide web shooter a little

54:14

loose I guess I have a little he got

54:16

little baby arms a little baby this

54:19

reminds me when I fractured my wrist in

54:21

high school and I had to wear

54:23

a something a keyboard it took a little

54:25

bit of getting used to but I figured out

54:27

how to use the arm keyboard and honestly

54:29

felt cool as hell and I was actually

54:31

able to save my creation and this was a

54:33

hell of a lot faster than typing on the

54:35

handheld earlier in the week I did it I

54:38

don't know what it says about me that

54:39

also the first thing I typed on my Palm

54:41

Pilot was also penis really

54:45

yeah you do have a penis that's true

54:48

yeah so I'm curious about this okay here

54:51

we go now it's working okay you can like

54:53

oh the mouse yeah it was a little

54:54

awkward to maneuver the mouse around but

54:56

again for something that came out in1

54:58

1999 this is really impressive and the

55:00

controls were oddly simple to like wrap

55:02

your head around and just like the RIS

55:04

camera this device also had some files

55:06

left on it from the previous owner dude

55:08

this is sick are you kidding me

55:10

Xbox 640 let's see what they

55:12

[Music]

55:16

[Laughter]

55:19

mean what the the Xbox

55:24

logo this is the cool coolest thing of

55:27

all time dude um that epic gamer model

55:31

this is so funny why is it just a

55:33

picture of theb it's just a picture of

55:35

the Xbox logo in paint like did someone

55:37

make this on paint no yeah I don't think

55:39

someone made that on paint and you know

55:42

I'm at Jacob in 2013 during our first

55:44

year of college and you know when you

55:45

make a friend and you're like ah what

55:46

the hell we could have been friends for

55:48

so long we missed out on like freaking

55:50

20 years of awesome times you know

55:52

that's how I feel me and Jacob we could

55:53

have had a a long friendship before but

55:56

using this little computer for the first

55:58

time with him it Lally felt like we were

55:59

both 10 years old at like a sleepover

56:01

and we're both like using the family

56:03

computer when everybody else is sleeping

56:05

like we had such a blast using this

56:07

thing but after giggling about the Xbox

56:09

logo for a long time we asked the most

56:11

important question of all time you got

56:14

any games on there so we searched the

56:15

system for the classic computer game

56:17

mind sweeper mind sweeper I hardly know

56:20

her nothing no games no games we were

56:22

sad about the lack of games but

56:24

nevertheless using this device felt

56:26

Monumental most people will go their

56:28

whole lives without using one of these

56:29

things so we had to make a note of this

56:31

occasion so I pulled up the memo pad to

56:33

write this down in the history books it

56:35

is 2024 and me and my friend Jacob are

56:38

using the cybernaut computer we then

56:40

discovered some other files that were

56:41

left on the computer got Windows Media

56:43

Player and there's songs on

56:48

[Music]

56:49

here okay B each word into the

56:52

microphone when the word is highlighted

56:55

by the blue box

56:57

remain silent between words like this

56:59

hello oh he's got Peter

57:02

[Music]

57:05

Gabriel oh there shocking the monkey all

57:07

right dude if I only had this on my bone

57:09

phone you think the bone phone's got

57:11

Bluetooth well the tooth is a bone also

57:13

how's my how's my posture looking right

57:16

now we played around a little more on

57:18

the wearable computer talking about all

57:20

the possibilities could you imagine

57:22

using this as a child yep cuz it says

57:24

you can insert like discs right yeah

57:26

there's a disc attachment you can do

57:28

there is a floppy disc drive also so you

57:31

could play like Roller Coaster Tycoon

57:33

yeah you get really good games on there

57:35

yeah I should try to get a game a floppy

57:36

drive game the tonum Pumba game you get

57:39

in a Serial box yeah yeah one of those

57:41

ones Franklin Goes to Jail or

57:43

whatever and I don't know if it's

57:45

because all the other products didn't

57:47

really work the way they were supposed

57:48

to but we were so hyped on this thing

57:51

this is awesome it's so crazy to think

57:53

back to a time where this was cutting

57:54

edge like before you needed whole

57:56

briefcase but now like all that

57:58

and more is just in your hand it's it's

58:01

crazy man right off the bat this is sick

58:02

just using it but the issue like I said

58:05

we have before is that we can't really

58:07

use it when it's not plugged into a wall

58:10

like all the other products the

58:11

cybernaut computer has just worned down

58:13

over time the batteries didn't really

58:15

hold a charge very well and it said that

58:17

on the eBay listing so we needed a

58:19

solution if we were going to take this

58:20

thing on the go we got to talking and we

58:23

came up with a pretty genius idea so

58:25

this was the plan it's one thing to use

58:26

the wearable computer inside right I

58:29

wanted to go out into the world wearing

58:31

the wearable computer and to combat the

58:33

issue of the shitty battery we thought

58:35

of the idea to go get a portable

58:38

generator to bring with us to act as the

58:40

permanent battery supply if we were to

58:42

somehow get like a generator take the

58:45

house with take the wall with you yeah

58:47

because what the cybernaut wearable

58:48

computer needs is one more thing for it

58:50

to plug into so let's go see if this

58:53

plan

58:55

works

58:58

we went to a park just outside of

59:00

Toronto and I don't know what was going

59:02

on with the weather this week because a

59:04

few days ago when I was trying out my

59:05

handheld TV it was sunny and warm

59:08

outside felt like summer but just a few

59:10

days later it was snowing like crazy and

59:12

it was freezing outside but it

59:15

actually might have been a blessing in

59:16

disguise because there wasn't anybody at

59:18

the park when we went to try out the

59:19

computer which is a good thing because I

59:21

looked like

59:22

[Music]

59:25

this

59:29

yeah usually if there's a guy in a park

59:31

in a trench coat and sunglasses with a

59:35

briefcase and a camera on a tripod next

59:38

to a playground bad things are happening

59:41

if we did this on a nice day and the

59:42

park was filled with people cops would

59:44

have been

59:45

called they would have put me in jail

59:48

they would have given me my one phone

59:49

call and I would have been like what no

59:51

AT&T video phone so I'll give you a

59:53

quick breakdown of all the components

59:55

here down by on my feet I had the

59:56

portable generator powering the computer

59:59

up here in my pocket was where I kept

60:01

the computer battery to keep the snow

60:02

away from it this gray bar dangling in

60:05

front was the port connector where I

60:06

pluged the keyboard into above that was

60:09

the actual computer strapped onto my

60:11

belt on my right arm was the Monitor and

60:14

on the left arm held the keyboard and

60:16

right above that I had my handy dandy

60:18

bone phone this was the man of the

60:20

future in 1999 I'm still with the future

60:23

and with everything plugged in it was

60:25

time for the moment of Truth would this

60:27

work with our little portable generator

60:29

did too much snow get into the computer

60:31

system can I finally achieve the dream

60:33

of portable Computing that they were

60:35

trying to achieve 25 years ago we turned

60:38

on the generator I booted up the

60:40

computer and I Waited For What seemed

60:42

like forever and then that sweet

60:45

cybernaut logo popped up on the

60:49

screen I'm in the blizzard raged on and

60:52

while I stood there in the cold I

60:54

realized something this wasn't just me

60:56

trying out an old tech product this was

60:58

a battle between man and nature what are

61:01

snowflakes if not pixels falling from

61:04

the sky why is it you can't spell

61:06

Windows without wind this is where man

61:08

and machine meet and I am the one who

61:10

invited both of them to the park so I

61:12

decided that I would complete two tasks

61:15

while wearing my wearable computer

61:16

number one paint a landscape of the park

61:19

on paint and two write a high coup on

61:22

the memo pad I open up paint and began

61:24

creating my masterpiece I figured I

61:26

needed to do this quickly because my

61:28

hands were freezing due to the

61:30

fact that it was minus 10 outside on

61:32

that day it was starting to come

61:33

together but a small issue arose that we

61:35

didn't really think about my arm's

61:37

getting pretty tired yeah holding it up

61:39

here I kind of wish I had the

61:40

thing right here oh yeah unfortunately

61:43

not a complete set e but nevertheless I

61:46

persisted do you think Michelangelo quit

61:48

painting the cinee chapel when his arm

61:50

got tired of course not and this is the

61:53

exact same after a few minutes my

61:55

masterpiece was complete not bad right

61:57

this might be the best painting you've

61:59

ever seen that was made on a cybernaut

62:02

ma4 wearable computer I saved the

62:04

painting but the screen was really

62:05

starting to weigh my arm down

62:09

savez thing

62:11

so the thing is small but it is heavy am

62:14

I right fellas this is weighing me down

62:16

too this looks like a

62:20

dick with my painting done it was now

62:22

time for my poem I decided to go with

62:24

the ha coup because those they're

62:26

relatively easy and quick to write and

62:27

they also don't always have to rhyme so

62:30

I pondered counted syllables pondered

62:33

some more counted more syllables and a

62:36

few minutes later I had a completed ha

62:38

coup future com and gone a wearable

62:41

computer my arm is so

62:45

tired wow hey guys I'm editing when I

62:48

was making my painting I made like a

62:49

stupid joke to the camera maybe I'll put

62:51

this on merch sell it but then it got me

62:55

thinking that could could be cool so I'm

62:56

going to sell a limited amount of signed

62:58

prints I'm going to sign all of them

63:00

going to put them on sale okay so

63:01

they're on my website it'll probably be

63:03

pre-order cuz I still have to print all

63:05

them and sign them but I think it'll be

63:06

cool so yeah check them out so I

63:08

remember the USB plug from the initial

63:10

test of the computer so I thought it

63:12

would be fun to fill a USB stick with

63:16

modern memes pictures and videos that

63:18

probably never got the chance to Grace

63:20

the screen of a cybernaut ma4 wearable

63:23

computer I have the ninja tweet the

63:25

video of KD offering Jimmy a nail the E

63:28

meme Drew's road workor ahead Vine and

63:31

many more but when I loaded up the USB

63:34

stick it said it was an unknown device I

63:36

tried and tried to get it working but

63:38

the computer just wouldn't accept it but

63:40

you know what I think that's okay I

63:42

think maybe the cybernaut was trying to

63:44

tell me something maybe it didn't want

63:45

to see the memes we've been enjoying for

63:47

the past 20 years this cybernaut ma4

63:49

wearable computer has been laying around

63:52

unused for years forgotten by the modern

63:55

world I mean most likely the USB stick

63:57

that I used was probably just using

63:59

technology that was a little too

64:00

advanced for a computer made in 1999 but

64:03

I'd like to think that the computer

64:06

rejecting the modern media was the

64:08

cybernaut saying you know what I'm okay

64:12

I'm too old for all that stuff anyway

64:15

I'm just happy I was able to be a

64:16

wearable computer for just one more

64:21

[Music]

64:24

day

64:26

[Music]

64:30

we had fun didn't

64:33

we thank you so much for watching this

64:35

video if you're still here I think this

64:37

is the longest video I've ever made and

64:39

I had a blast making it because this is

64:41

something I'm very interested and

64:43

passionate about um it's always fun to

64:44

make videos where I'm not I angry at

64:48

stuff if you have any old technology

64:50

don't throw it away keep it in the best

64:52

condition you can for as long as you can

64:54

because I truly think preservation of

64:56

this stuff is incredibly important I had

64:58

a blast trying out all these products

65:01

and uh if there's one thing I learned

65:03

from this video is that human beings are

65:05

like really cool and creative

65:08

and ambitious and stupid and weird and

65:11

ridiculous in the best ways possible I

65:13

don't know looking at these past

65:15

products there was so much hope and

65:17

Ingenuity behind them they knew they

65:19

were not there yet but they still try

65:22

and I honestly think that is the best

65:23

quality we all share these

65:27

nuts these nuts if you enjoyed this

65:30

video please let me know by pressing the

65:32

65:39
