Ah, I remember microfiche years ago at work, and I used to refer to a database system as online microfiche to young folks who had no idea what I meant...
And how about a plastic globe, who has those anymore?? Use to have one from the 60s, showed Europe and Africa with the Soviet Union and the various country names and borders from colonization. Quite different from today.

We had one from the 50s, totally useless with today's current colonization.

I've used a microfiche machine a few times in my life. The last time was just a couple of years ago when I was completing my research for my MA in history. Some of the records from the Kiowa Agency had not been digitized yet by the Oklahoma Historical Society, so I was taken into a back room, where they had a microfiche machine.
I have an old globe from the early 60s that has a light inside of it. It's pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

Hah, push button. When I was a kid we had a rotary phone. My dad wouldn't splurge for push buttons.
