     @thomasfuchs 70s? Pocket calculator.

     I'M THE OPERATOR WITH MY POCKET CALCULATOR! WHEN I HOLD DOWN A SPECIAL KEY, IT PLAYS A LITTLE MELODY! <BEEP BOOP>

     (ok, yes, this song was released in 1981 but the handheld pocket calculator was really a 1970s thing.)

     @thomasfuchs @_the_cloud If you need something smaller, then you probably want an LED digital wristwatch. Terrible battery life, and you had to push a button to see the time.

     @joshsusser @_the_cloud Honestly the HP-01 is my dream gadget, but alas I’d rather spend the money on a bunch of much cheaper stuff
