What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations - Pawb.Social

I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler. An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors. If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick. That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.
