Awesome Tips Tech That Died in 2022
We say goodbye to the gadgets and software that met their end in 2022 — including some we thought were long dead, like Internet Explorer and BlackBerry. This year’s roundup includes tech from Google and Apple, but CNET’s Bridget Carey is having a hard time with how Amazon is killing the Glow.

I still miss Chromecast audio. Just got one from eBay
Nooooo blackberry!!!
She sounds crazy 😒
Amazon also shut down serviced for their Amazon Cloud Cam service and bricked all the Amazon cloud cams (of which I had 3). They replaced my cloud cams with 3 Blink security cams and a year subscription to Blink Pro.
it is very weird because they keep making cheap 3g smartphones with android go. Must be an US only thing since most people have Iphones.
One thing that you didn’t mention was sling box tv. It first came out back in 2005 I believe, and in November of 2022, they shut down the servers for it.
WTF??? THE GLOW IS COOL! never seen anything about it! I would purchase one to see-talk to my MOM! SHE HATES FACETIME because she has arthritis so is very hard to use a phone or a tablet! wow I can't believe it, what a mistake from Amazon, maybe it would has sold millions is the price was a little lower, just think about a package of 2 for $200 or $250 WOW! This device could have revolutionized the way we communicate with old people far away… : (
I still have an original iPod Touch that I purchased on Boxing Day 2007 and it still works, though battery is starting to show its age.
Is this lady stoned??
Glow? Thats new to me
This is extremely cringey.
I've always wondered how exactly the US Cell Network is working and why it is working like this… and not only in the US actually. I'm living in Bulgaria and, as some of you might heard, we have one of the best Cell and Fiber networks around the globe… I've been to a few places and at some of them the Internet is an absolute joke. I was escpeailly disappointed in the mobile connections in the center are of London, UK?? How could it be that there was absolutely no signal in the centre of London? Anyway, on a few ocassions I spoke with tech people from my country, which were installing equipment for our telecoms here and it turns out the whole cell network is based on Nokia/Ericsson/Huawei quipment with 2G/3G/4G and 5G cells all-in-one capabilities. It was also made clear to me that in its major part the network handles calls via 2G or 4G and when the call is on 4G the network switches to 2G/3G or 5G, depending your device, cell signal, etc. So I am confused why the US uses separate types of network equipment, which ultimately results in shutting older technologies down. Or if they are using combined equipment, why would they be shutting older standards? I can imagine big use of 2G and 3G network for variaty of connected stuff, like GPS trackers, cheap cell-phones, dash cams and what not… especially in the US where all the people use so so much of those extra gadgets. So why would those need anything else than the goold old 2G/3G connection? To drain battery and cause higher traffic in the so needed 4G/5G Networks? Can someone provide more sight on that one?
I’d never even heard of the Amazon glow (don’t have kids) but it sounds really cool!
In my opinion to be honest it's not really useless if you return the Amazon Glow back and they refund your money. They can reuse it on other technology products. It'll also help with the environment so it doesn't end up in landfills and such. Also Bridget reminds me of that Overly Attached Girlfriend meme girl back in 2011-2012 (if you pause at 1:40) lol. Imagine seeing Bridget in your room at 3am with that face she did? lol
She's a weirdo. Subscribed.
Microsoft is currently planning to add Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to Windows
I heard of glow for the first time just now on this video, with COVID that seems awesome to have something that my kids could parallel play with their grandma on, is there anything like it even remotely?
Amazon Glow seems very interesting I never heard of it before lol.
I am so glad to hear some love for the glow. Amazon has served its space in the gadget world well but yes, it is heartbreaking that we do not own what we buy despite their generous return policy. I heard a few friends of mine who had kids loved it for the sake of it giving kids more than just one thing to focus on. I am really excited to see what comes next, from whoever, that will try this again, and maybe with even a little more grace.
Amazon failed on marketing this product, period. I would have bought this for my kids.
iOS 6 apple maps got killed. Refuses to load anything now. Just watching features slowly disappear from my iOS 6 iPhone 4. Newsstand, stocks, weather, maps, genius for app store, facetime
I really enjoyed the stadia. I used it most with cross platform games. But it was great to be able to buy a game share with family and the few friends that I actually had that played on it. And I received all the money back for the games that I purchased along with my family members so that's pretty awesome.
Are the ipods …the older ones still usable? Just dug one out of a box after we moved. Forgot I had it.
Maybe the glow was ahead of its time
The thing I miss is the iPod touch and the blackberry and internet explorer and 3G I miss those kind of things that was so nostalgic I still do have iPod touch 5th generation but still works And a BlackBerry curve 9720
What about MP3 format being retired?
The Amazon glow would have been THE tool for zoom learning at the start of the pandemic. i feel it would have been much more engaging for the youngsters who were pulled away from their school friends at such a sensitive time in their lives.
Yeah I think you're right about Amazon not being able to market that thing well. I like to consider myself pretty tech savvy and up to date on most of the newest gadgets and I had never even heard about it until now.
I disagree that Apple "killed" the iPod. They stopped making new ones, but there are still lots of iPods out there and they all continue to work.
Glow…. its gone? I just ear of this thing… boooo….
When I received an email and three checks from Blackberry, I was sad.
Never heard of the glow till now. Woulda bought one for me and grandkids if I knew it existed
I used my BlackBerry 9300 last week, and was only able to make and receive calls, but it still works.
The loss of the iPod is a shame.
I highly recommend Frameo btw for grandparents. It’s a digital screen that shows pictures and you can send pictures through an app to their frames instantly.
