🕯️ Traditions Kung may isang lumang tech na puwede mong ibalik ngayong 2026, ano 'yon at bakit?

[simplyjepox]

Napansin n'yo ba?

Habang mas gumaganda ang technology, may mga features naman na parang mas okay pa noon kaysa ngayon.

Hindi dahil nostalgic lang... minsan mas practical talaga.

Halimbawa:

Removable battery – Palit lang ng battery, buhay ulit ang phone.
Headphone jack – Walang charger, walang pairing, isaksak lang.
FM Radio na gumagana kahit walang internet.
Expandable microSD storage.
IR Blaster na ginagawang universal remote ang phone.
Physical keyboard ng mga dating phones.
Notification LED na kita agad kahit hindi binubuksan ang screen.

Minsan napapaisip ako...

Hindi ba mas "smart" ang ilang old features kaysa sa mga bagong nawala?

Kung ikaw ang designer ng next smartphone...​

Isang lumang feature lang ang puwede mong ibalik. Ano ang pipiliin mo?

At mas importante...

Bakit?

Baka may feature na sobrang na-miss mo dahil may totoong gamit sa araw-araw.

Pwede ring hindi phone.

Halimbawa:

• Lumang PC feature
• Internet feature
• Apps na mas okay ang dating version
• Console o gaming feature
• Kahit anong tech na feeling mo "mas simple pero mas useful."

Rule: Walang maling sagot. Gusto kong makita kung ano talaga ang pinaka-miss ng PHCorner community.

Ako?

Removable battery. Kahit luma na ang phone, hindi mo kailangang palitan agad. Isang bagong battery lang, parang bagong buhay ulit.

Kayo naman... anong feature ang dapat hindi nawala? At may chance ba na bumalik pa ito?

May joke kami noon, malapit na lumabas yung phone na may fan or aircon. Kasi raming nanood nga tv sa phone nila.

serious question: ano'ng hanap mo sa typewriter na di kaya ng modern word processor (at printer)?

i learned to type on Olympia (pica) and Underwood (elite) typewriters. there's nothing they can do that you can't on, say, MS Word, plus printer. especially kung kailangan ng multiple copies. carbon copies or photocopies are not the same quality.

btw, inimprove rin ito (typewriter), e.g. IBM Selectric. even that falls short of any modern word processor that we have.

and obviously, makakabili ka pa rin naman ngayon, kung gusto mo. do you have a specific use case that i cannot see?

relate ako dito naexperience ko na iyan mag type sa electric typewritter iba talaga kapag ganun ang print quality unlike msword at printer. mechanical kasi kaya hindi kaya ipantay ngayon technology although malaki din tulong in advance.

Baka Dvorak o Colemak layout yun, o kaya split ergonomic keyboard. Sa typewriter naman, iba talaga yung feel at tunog niya kaya may charm pa rin. Pero sa editing at convenience, hirap na tapatan ng modern word processors.

yes, the split keyboards are variants of the ergonomic devices. meron pang folding type that you use in a tent orientation so the wrist is in a more natural position. i had the original MS Natural, which was still in one piece, but there's a gap between left hand and right hand keys. actually used that for a long time. stopped when i moved to laptops - walang PS2 port.

as for the other keyboard layouts, too late na for me (and millions of others). natuto na ako sa QWERTY. hehehe

Oo, QWERTY na rin talaga ang nakasanayan kaya mahirap nang mag-switch sa ibang layout lods. Pero interesting yung split ergonomic keyboard, lalo na kung matagal mag-type. Mas importante talaga minsan yung comfort kaysa sa layout mismo. Sayang lang yung PS/2 port. Dati simpleng plug and play lang, ngayon pati keyboard kailangan mo nang isipin kung compatible pa.

nakakalito nga eh kaya stick talaga sa qwerty. sanay na rin ako sa qwerty layout ang pagkakaalam ko eh pati yun sinaunang typewriter qwerty.

tetris sa nokia phone anyone?? relate? yun tipong pupunin mo na yun buong screen

Java games sa phone

Kung may isang old feature akong ibabalik, baka Java games + physical keypad sa modern phone. Imagine modern specs pero may option na maglaro ng mga classic Java games nang native. Simple lang pero may sariling charm.

Nokia Tetris talaga! Yung simpleng laro pero nakakabaliw sa katagalan. Wala pang ads, login, internet, updates, o kung anu-anong notification tapos bukas lang ng phone, laro agad.
