Is This A Robot?

Alright, GrayViners—this curious little gadget looks like it might beep, blink, and tell me the weather... but I don't think it is what I think. With its shiny buttons, fold-out pieces, and futuristic flair, it sure feels like something out of a sci-fi flick. If you know what this clever gadget actually did back in the day (and maybe even had one yourself), give us your best guess in the comments. Let’s see who remembers this classic! Found something that instantly transported you back to yesteryear? Let's see them here.

It is a Polaroid Instant Camera. My dad used his for work. At the time he worked for his dad selling storm windows, awnings and aluminum siding. It was his way of showing the customer the before and after pictures. It always amused me when he would take the picture and fanned it to finish the image. It needed a minute or so to do that.
