Jake Robinson.

Bless him, he still going very strong out at the enclosed ground and knocking on the conference door with still more FA cup glory on the cards ( could be us in the next round if they beat Dagenham and Redbridge).

Heres to you Jakey Robinson Brighton loves you more than you will know....

.......... what technologies should be completely redundant, but are refusing to die?

Vinyl and turntables, quite rightly refusing to die. Long live the LP.

Gone from my youth. Astoria, Curzon and Embassy cinemas, Ice rink with Brighton Tigers and the hippodrome.
Gone up. The wonderful AMEX and the ghastly Brighton Centre. Agreed long live vinyl.

Concorde - from completed design in 1960 to last flight 2003.

First thing which came to mind for me as well, Silverhatch.

For the old farts amongst us, slide rules and logarithms

Bloody heck you are wearing well!

I thought they'd just been invented when I went to Hove Grammar in 1959 following our move to Hassocks, certainly I'd never come across them at my previous school in Surrey.

Mind you, I never got to grips with bloody things!

Good riddance to them!

I'll also add CB radio to the list (sorry if I've missed it earlier) - but I think this thread is running out of interest now - too many repeats. Or perhaps some people just don't read before posting (shock, horror! Not on NSC, shirley!).

 

[Perfidious Albion]

45 rpm singles....... Well, since Wiki says that they were from 1949 perhaps I was young to "see" it. I was a baby at the time

That tickled me. (Not your knob).

Bit younger but there's still been a bit of fairly common tech. The more advanced forms of analogue satellite TV (Wegener Panda audio, 'channel expanders' etc), minidiscs. Widescreen tube TVs, flat front tube TVs. Handheld computers/PDAs (dedicated purpose - the iPod Touch basically is still one as are nearly all mobile phones). PowerPC computers - all Macs from the 1990s to mid 2000s.
