Retro tech is all the rage, but which gadgets would you like to see brought back to life?

Tech advances so quickly, it can sometimes make your head spin. No sooner have you bought a smartphone than a new version is released, and your shiny new gadget looks out of date.

But there are some gadgets that hold a special place in our hearts – even after they’ve long been labelled obsolete. The recent re-launch of Nokia’s 3310, and the ecstatic reception it received from millennials, is proof that nostalgia goes a long a way.

The top five retro gadets people would like to see back on the shelves are::

  1. Sony Discman– first released in 1984
  2. Motorola Razr– first released in 2004
  3. Gameboy– first released in 1989
  4. Sega Mega Drive– first released in 1989
  5. Blackberry– first released in 1999
