yeah i was around back then myself. I remember using a walkman. That's what portable cd players were called. The issue was that portable power was nowhere near what it is now. Battery tech has truly been revolutionizing and the efficiency gains we've made too. If you made a smart phone that was JUST those functions and used modern tech to do it while stripping out all the bloat its battery would last a whole week.
I remember my Sony Ericsson K800i lasting a week or so on a single charge. With modern tech the equivalent would last at least 2 or 3 times that
Yeah we stopped optimizing things. Mostly because now every device uses half its battery power to spy on you.
