Every now and then I see a vintage car in the street, originally from the 40s or 60s, in spotless condition. Cars have been around for longer than computers… But would such a thing be viable for electronics?
Wait, does it exist already and I never heard of it?
This… Really feels like a very stupid question. Sorry
I was behind a kid the other day in Chipotle that had a walkman with the original headphones. It’s definitely a thing. People are currently kind of obsessed with old blackberry
I think the key is for it to become a retro thing new stuff has to change. People aren’t hipstering over an iPhone 4 because it’s not that different from current phones, I guess its smaller right?
An iPod wheel however, still gets people’s interest piqued.
I still carry around a game boy advanced, but I replaced the reflective screen with a backlit screen and a replace the game cartridge with a multi-cart.
A Walkman, nice… Yes, things need to be clearly different. But I guess that’s bound to happen in three decades, right? Just like with the cars, which do change every decade, it takes time for people to go from “ugh that’s so last year” to “oh, vintage!” People like milk and yoghurt but nobody hypes over curdled milk
