Topic: Disposable cameras are proof that any old piece of technology could become new again.
Anonymous A started this discussion 1 year ago#118,144
I was in Walgreens a couple of months ago and noticed something I hadn't seen there in a long time. It was a disposable camera and I jokingly asked to one of the staff.
"Is that a disposable camera?"
To which she replied, "Yes, those are starting to become popular again." She also shrugged a bit too. She was an older woman, not too old, but you could tell she was a millennial.
Apparently, Gen Z was responsible for the return of disposable cameras.

Until a couple years ago developing these was part of my job, people like them cause they're "retro" but hilariously they'll often use the normal phone selfie angles to take pictures of themselves and it doesn't really work when the lens is in the centre of the camera body. Also nobody appreciates you need 400 speed to take indoor shots and get mad when their pix are dark.
