Seems like they were still the rage in the 1970s but, yeah, I think my
generation (that grew up in the 1970s/80s) sort of abandoned them.  When
the one we had forever when I was a kid finally quit working, my folks
replaced it with hand-operated ones.  I've never had anything but
hand-operated ones.
