Comment on Will people show off their old computers and phones in say, 30 or 50 years in the future?

Sure, people will still be showing off vintage computers just like they are doing now. The biggest problem will likely be finding working hard drives or SSDs that are compatible with the system.

Phones will probably be a lot harder to keep running that long though. Modern flash memory is not very good for long term data retention. OLED displays have a limited shelf life. Batteries are difficult to replace without damaging the phone assuming you can even find a replacement.
