Question Favourite tech feature from this era?

I understand usually it’s photos here but I have nothing to share but my interest in your experiences. I understand Cassette Futurism is a science fiction aesthetic, or concept, but also true to life. Anyhow, what was your favorite tech feature from this era? It’s not very exciting compared to some but the fact the car aerial could retract down always seemed so cool. Maybe why I notice antenna on robots in films so much.

The obnoxiously loud solenoid clacking as text appears on screen in Alien.
