I have, and prefer to have things of most all time periods of recent history in my home. I consider recent history to be most anything in the 20th century. technology was sort of on a slow boat before that and somehow things took off like, well, a rocket in the 20th century. I always tell people that in more or less a single human life span we went from pretty much a horse and buggy for transportation and little to no electricity to men walking on the moon, space stations, and computer controlled everything (including people).

One day, probably after we are long gone historians will marvel at these times the way we wonder about the Great Pyramids and such. HOW did we do it? So, again I have things of many decades all through my home and I put most of it to use. I can proudly say that less of it is PC/neo modern junk. I don't own a flat screen TV and it's not because I can't afford one. I like to percolate my coffee and I tend to get more done listening to the radio than watching television, but I have plenty of TVs, so I can't say much there. I have a special attraction to the old TVs that I am starting to think is a mental disorder or some "savant" nature. Maybe that is a bit to extreme. Perhaps we all have some eccentricity of sorts that simply makes us unique. But not many people get the old TV thing. They never have.....
