Why this one divides people
Most of these got replaced by something objectively better, which is the joke at the centre of the question. The phone attached to the wall wins support because it was the one device that could not follow you around, and its limits now read as a feature. The shelf of tapes and the heavy album both stand for the same lost thing: a collection you could see across a room, which told a visitor who lived there. The reference books get sentimental votes from anyone who used to read one at random for fun.

In the game itself you always see a split, because a seeded baseline stands in until recorded answers outweigh it. That estimate is ours, so it is never published here as crowd data.
