Just think, in a few months you could have added the TV sets to the list of things that no longer work.
Could you fire-up the 256K computer, attach your phone to the "internet" and use your e-trade account to buy up some Yahoo & eBay stock?
I did a clean & reorganize on my kitchen last night, and found myself examining old things like Tasters Choice coffee that I haven't touched in years. If there was no expiration date, I'd see if there was a website address on the product.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who tends to reflect for a second when he finds something dated very close to September 2001. I hope that feeling of "remeber when the world was different" will pass someday, but I doubt it will.
