We like to think that the age we’re living in the most advanced and that the people who came before us we’re simpletons, but we have a feeling the photos you’re about to see will completely change your mind about that.

Because you’re about to lay your eyes on amazing examples of OLD technology that was way ahead of its time and is honestly still pretty impressive today.

Are you ready to go back to the future? Let’s go!

1. I’ve never one of these before!

But I like it!

2. Wow. Pretty impressive.

And I’m willing to bet this is extremely rare.

3. That is so cool.

But I bet that poor officer got tired of sucking in fumes all day.

4. This is kind of crazy.

But also pretty brilliant.

5. The forerunner to the Roomba.

I wonder if it was ever popular…

6. Wow! Get a load of this thing!

That is awesome!

7. I bet you sank all the way to the bottom.

Looks pretty heavy, doesn’t it?

8. That is one HUGE cell phone.

Zack Morris style!

9. Not too easy to lug around.

But it got the job done.

10. A rail zeppelin.

German engineering at its finest.

11. I wish this would make a comeback!

I’m all about this!

12. You don’t see something like this every day.

Time to hit the open road.

13. I think a lot of us could use this right about now.

I need my alone time!

Those are so cool!

And now we want to hear from you.

In the comments, share some more photos of old technology that you think we’ll enjoy.

Thanks in advance!
