You don't mind being obsolete. You never thought of yourself as that great to begin with, which is great. You are happy to have simply done your time and performed a useful service. You were average your whole life, but also functional and there's no shame in that.

Welcome to your second life. A few years ago people wrote you off as a has been, but now you've been rediscovered! You've found yourself the favorite of the hipsters and other young deluded people. Kids too young to even remember what AOL is want to collect you and treat you with more respect than higher fidelity and more reliable technologies. All of this adoration may issue from complete ignorance of science and how the human ear works, but who cares? You thought you were dead, but now you're hot! Live it up.

You believe yourself to be superior, but you're really just deluding yourself. Listen to men of a certain age wax on poetically about how you're man's way to project power over a car's transmission. Some of them may even argue that you are more fuel efficient than your younger automatic counterparts. You might as well believe it, because you have little else going for you. All those pretty words are lies and some day you will have to come to terms with the fact that the youngins have been better at your job than you for decades, which also means that ain't that young anymore. And that will make you feel even older.

Why are you still here? You are the technology that just won't quit. People thought they'd seen the last of your years ago, but surprise! You abide. Whether this is due to economic intransigence or political opposition to your demise is unclear. The important point is that after many attempts to kill you, it appears that you will live on for some time yet and rather than die, simply fade from existence.

You are basically so out of touch that you are cartoon character. For some reason, steam trains live on in children's programming. Perhaps it's because more modern locomotives are boring (or if you're in America, non-existent). None of that matters, because kids love you! Enjoy your time carting them around on scenic railways that go from nowhere to nowhere.

Face it, you might as well give up. All your friends, like Polaroid and the Etch-A-Sketch, are dead. Nobody but a few indie artists like you anymore and the rest forgot you even existed. You could be forgiven for thinking you're still relevant, of course. Your obsolescence came more swiftly than any other technology in this list or perhaps any technology ever. One day you were indispensable and then you were left for dead, just like that. My advice is that you not spend your remaining years trying to break back into the scene. Accept your fate and try to make the most of it.
