Speaking about the results, Rob Barnes, head of broadbandand mobiles at moneysupermarket.com, said: "It’s clear whilst people areembracing the digital age at every opportunity they still revere some thingsfrom yesteryear.
“Despite digital cameras virtually confining camera filmto the scrap heap, Polaroid and 35mm cameras are amongst the top 10 thingspeople want to save. Similarly, the superior quality of DVD and HD-TV would surelysignal the end of the VCRs but some people still like to stick to what they’refamiliar with.”
