Update: Used to think thrift shops were just for old clothes, but finding a working rotary phone changed my mind. Pretty happy about it.

That bit about everything old circling back doesn't quite match what I see. Some stuff, like VHS tapes or bulky CRT TVs, are just dead tech. They might be cheap at the thrift store, but they don't really come back into style like a typewriter might. It feels more like we pick and choose which old things get a second life.

My local Goodwill has three typewriters this month, feels like everything old circles back.

Seeing three typewriters at Goodwill is cool, but I'm with @oliverknight on this. Some old stuff just doesn't come back, like VHS tapes.
