I remember when CDs and CD players were first released. My friend's dad came home one night with one and I was so amazed at how much time and frustration they saved. Rewinding and fast forwarding tapes was a hot mess. I talked my mother into getting one and we only had one CD for the longest time. It was a Beach Boys greatest hits CD and I listened to it all the time.

I also remember when Nintendo was first released. We had an Atari, but Nintendo was a game changer in our house. A lot of fights went down over those controllers.

Q: what is one piece of technology you wish was never invented and released?
