If you miss the good ol' days of the 1980s and 1990s, you'll enjoy watching the BBC-produced documentary series Electric Dreams. In this show, a family of six lives through 30 years, from the 70s through the 90s, in 30 days. While they still work and go to school like normal, life at home is a little different - they are made to experience the technologies and social activities available to them during those days. It's cool reminiscence seeing cassette tapes, Nintendo 64 systems, and "water bottle" handphones being used!
And here's some bonus shots of a good old Apple Powerbook 520 belonging to one of our colleagues:
Complete with 3.5" floppy disk drive that can hold 1.44MB of data (1/4 of an mp3 file)!
Feel like travelling back in time too? Well, it's easy with a few simple items to help you relive the nostalgia of days gone by...
A good old solid handset, complete with curly cord, that you can hold between your shoulder and ear for hours without getting a crick in the neck! From ThinkGeek.
How about some kitsch pink flamingos for your lawn? Let your neighbours stare in envy ;) from Amazon.
A vintage red weighing scale for the kitchen, from Amazon.
Of course, we must not forget vintage fashion! Nothing says retro like Ray-Ban Wayfarers and polka-dot dresses. (From Amazon)
