Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

These seemed like the obvious answers at first, but then I realized I don’t actually use either one on a regular basis (I walk to work and cook on an induction stove). So in my case it’s probably the lever.
