With 8-track, you can't pick the exact song that you want to play. You can only pick the program that your song is on and then wait for it. Or, if you have a fancy machine, you can fast-forward forever and risk breaking the tape in the process. 8-track tapes and players break constantly. You can't prove anything or make any difference in the world just by buying old stuff and using it.
Antique technology is interesting only as a novelty.
