I'm unaware of communications and technological trends falling into cycles like sartorial fashion.

You can use a 20-, 30-, or 50-year-old scarf or jacket you find in a thrift store, but not a phone or a computer. And very few people would want to.



This is very much like the first century of clothing probably was. After technological innovation in the field ceases, you'll be able to use old stuff.

You can use a 50 year old wired POTS phone no problem. The sound quality is superior to modern wired phones, and those are superior to any cell or voip tech.
