#12: Opening a Cold One
Even items that we don’t necessarily use on a daily basis, such as vending machines, have completely changed since we were younger. In recent years, they’ve started to accept contactless payment and have robots that deliver the goods from the machine. Before this, these machines were cash only and required some shaking. Getting a soda sometimes felt like a whole mission!
But before this? Vending machines looked like this – and we certainly remember these ones! Trying to get a drink out was much more difficult, and you couldn’t exactly just press a button to get a cold soda. We’re very grateful that technology has evolved to make things easier now, as this was just painful to use.
