"fad-tech" would be technology that sounded cool at the time but was practically useless and inconvenient.
if you grew up in the eighties or nineties, you probably saw a ton of it ranging form carphones to walky talky sized cordless mobiles to the power glove!
I still think the goofiest one i ever saw was the video payphones out here that southwestern bell ahd going on in the early nineties. it was supposed to be so you could send video signal while you talk to people who had video phones.....
it's since been replaced with webcams and mics but it was just crazy cus they had them everywhere out here...even at camp grounds of all places.
anyways, what fad-tech do you recall?
