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.
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.
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.
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.

It’s funny to me that things like EEPROM are considered ROM. Like, ok, I can write to it? Read only, huh?
They are still considered essential in German schools.
Germany still uses faxes, it’s not surprising at all.
Tho tbf they’re common in Italy too even in the better universities
