1.
iPhone apps where you drank fake beer:
2.
Or iPhone apps where you could download a fake lighter:
3.
And even before that, phones with internet on them in the first place:
4.

7.
Or, saints preserve us, a whole N64 in a car:

23.
That fish that everyone’s uncle had for some reason:

That cassette tape that let your connect your iPod to your car stereo:
26.
Those batteries that let you check how much energy was left:
