Pronunciation: a ta ree ryz

Sentence: Joe's rec room was like a museum of obsolete and outdated technological wonders that were no longer compatible with modern systems. 8 Track Tapes;cassette music tapes;Beta videos; Video discs and player; reel to reel tape recorders; Brownie cameras; singles, 45's and 78 LP records;Atari and old Sega's; black & white tv; a wireless radio and 8mm and slide projectors filled his nether room. He had a computer with a 6 inch black screen with orange writing on it, that connected to nothing. His wife of course wanted all this sold at an Antique store or a garage sale. But Joe firmly believed he had bought the biggest and best of technology at the time and would ataririze his kids (who were too embarrassed to take friends downstairs) with the fact that the old ways were the best ways. He lived in the fantasy that all the new technology would fail and people would revert to the ancient items he possessed. His wife kept telling him, "Change the record, Joe!"

Etymology: Atari (one of the first video games produced in the 1980's)& Terrorize (fill with terror; frighten greatly)
