Items from 30 years ago and how they have developed today

1. TVs

Romania started to produce televisions on the Pipera industrial platform, at the Electronica
factory, in 1961. Because it had a metal case, the first TV produced in Romania was running its
viewers who were getting their hands on it, so it was quickly switched to the manufacture of these
devices in wooden cases. In 1971, our country begins to export the Adriatic TV to Albania'

They didn't have remotes like they were today, they weren't in color and they were definitely
not smart and you couldn't see a movie on hbo or netflix.

2. Washing machines
Early washing machines were invented as early as the 1850s, but people wash laundry before
clothes became a common practice. Over the centuries, the technology of washing clothes
has evolved from raw manual labor to high-quality technology.
 In many ancient cultures, peoples cleaned their clothes by throwing them on the
rocks or rubbing them with abrasive sands and washing away the dirt in streams and rivers.
The Romans invented a raw soap, similar to lejor, which contained ash and fat from
slaughtered animals. In colonial times, the most common way of washing clothes was to boil
them in a large pot or a tramp, then place them on a flat board and beat them with a palette.

Manufacturers of washing machines continue to improve their "brains". New washing modes,
additional functions and other innovations are being created.

Currently the washing machines are similar, but they wash the
laundry very well, the programs are very efficient, depending on the material and complexity
of the textiles, you can choose the type of washing, including the door doors.

3. Telephones/ Smartphones

In 1997, a new innovation was available: the Siemens S10 phone that had its first colored
display. It is true that there were only four colors available, but even so, it was an important
step.
In 2000, the Sharp J SH04 appeared, the first mobile phone to have a built-in camera, but
which was only available in Japan and then, in the same year, the Sony CMDY5 – the first
phone to have polyphonic sounds.

In 2008 htc dream phone was launched, the first smartphone with Android operating system.
From this point on, each newly launched smartphone is seemingly more and more
spectacular, increasingly intelligent, with virtual assistants software, screens with extremely
advanced technologies (LCD, OLED, AMOLED, etc.), much larger storage capacities and
whatnot.
 I remember this landline phone (wired), from which we called
the robot to find out the fixed time, when we were children, just to amuse us.

4. Cars

Despite the fact that only two years ago the first electric Dacia was launched, the
Romanians were inventing the car with battery propulsion over five decades ago.The electric
Dacia of the '70s was tested even by NASA.
 Although I'm not good at cars, we all know how much their
technology has evolved, being available according to preferences and especially by budget.
The car can be customized as long as you have a nice amount of money
