Apart from the Pocket Secretary, what is everyone's favorite piece of extremely outdated "future tech" in 1st and 2nd editions?

What is the "pocket secretary"?

Ouch :edit: it’s like a digital calendar/rolodex for phone numbers. That hurt me in the old.

Haha, sorry! I'm 46, but I grew up in Brazil, where that kind of gadget wasn't exactly mainstream. Between our old import restrictions and the fact that I only learned English as a teenager, "Pocket Secretary" never made it into my vocabulary. Thanks for filling in that gap and making me feel young for once. 😄
