1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: This is like show and tell what you've said that

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 2: you'd found the old an old boombox. Harley has just

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: in recent days found a piece of old technology at

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: our place. So I've brought in.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: It's not a former girlfriend.

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: No, the Newton message pad one thirty.

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: What was that?

9
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: He bought this at some sort of trade show. It's

10
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: an Apple product in the nineteen nineties. Is a big

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: tech pervi he is and this was designed Look what

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: it's the size of a brick, would you say? And

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: it's got like a.

14
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Spy action notepad.

15
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: It's designed as the first personal digital assistant, the PDA.

16
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: And what was supposed to happen the personal display of

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: affection is that you break. Oh look at that. Look

18
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: at that stylist that's come out. So what happens is

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: you'd write on the screen in your handwriting, and then

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: it would turn that to text. That's why this was

21
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: supposed to be extraordinary.

22
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Does it work?

23
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: No, it does. It won't now because you have to

24
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: charge it every two minutes. He turned it on and

25
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: it was so extraordinary. All these old phone numbers came up.

26
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: Both my grandparents have passed away, they were listed there

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: with their phone numbers. Because this is over thirty years old.

28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: Easy, it's a time capsule.

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: And he said that even when he first bought it,

30
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: he wrote his name, Harley Oliver on the screen and

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: the print thing came up as fish cigar. He still

32
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: bought it, knowing that it didn't work, because he said,

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: this is the cutting edge of all technology.

34
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: So it came up fish cigar before he bought it.

35
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: Yes, still trying it out. And I just said to

36
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: him yesterday how much did that cost? And he said,

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: I didn't want to tell you at the time. He

38
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: said it was something like six hundred and seven hundred

39
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: dollars thirty years ago. It was massively expensive, as all

40
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 2: technology was then, but he.

41
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: Said you could buy a car for that back.

42
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: He said, this is the cutting edge, this is the

43
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: beginning of it all. And it probably was, but sadly

44
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: not this version of it.

45
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: Because it's crazy. There's apps now you get your phone

46
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: and you can hold it over handwriting and or converted

47
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: into print.

48
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: But what's really interesting our phones, the technology hasn't gone

49
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: down that way. We don't see. I guess it's so

50
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: easy to text and type on our phones. That we

51
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: don't need to have our hand we're no longer handwriters,

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: we don't need to have our handwriting turned into text.

53
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: So that was the promise of this, but that's not

54
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: what we've ended up needing from technology.

55
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: Let's go back further. In my mother's garbage room being

56
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: thrown out was an eighty style boombox, you know, the

57
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: two tape boom box, the big speakers.

58
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: Is it for outdoor dancing?

59
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: Definitely for outdoor dancing.

60
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: Because breakdancing is going to be in the next Olympics.

61
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: And it would take D sized batteries, fifty D sized batteries.

62
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: It would last for three minutes. And I got it.

63
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: I took it home. I played because I just love

64
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the look at it. I was like, oh, look at

65
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: this thing. And it's got the two cassette players in it.

66
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: So you could make a mixtape if you wanted. I've

67
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: got a big bag of cassettes and it pretty much

68
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: spans my radio career since nineteen ninety, So you'd record yourself. Yeah,

69
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: what you used to do in the old days when

70
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: you started in radio, you'd have a thing called an

71
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: air check. It's the worst thing in the world because

72
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: you you would do your show, and then the program director,

73
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: the boss of the radio station, possibly the least talented

74
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: and humorous person in the world, would sit in the

75
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: room with his arms crossed and listen to you.

76
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: We've all had those. It's it is dreadful.

77
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: So you'd sit there and you listen to yes, and

78
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: it would be the worst thing. But also what you

79
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: would do is you record your show and then you'd

80
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: send it off to other radio stations to get a job.

81
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: That's what you would do, and that worked for me,

82
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: you know a few times in the old days. But

83
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: I found this tape and it's you, me and Andrew

84
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: Denton in I'm pretty sure it's the year two thousand.

85
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: I'd just gone off to Ireland to interview you too.

86
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Have a listen to this.

87

Speaker 3: Jones on the line. It's not easy. This is tricky.

00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: to it all.

108
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,480
