In the 80s, there was always some new technology being created and brought to the public. All of the things that the people thought we’re so amazing and technologically advanced, are items that we take for granted today. When the Walkman was invented, people had this new concept of listening to their music wherever they went. Most people today don’t even see that as an advanced invention.
I am so overjoyed about the technology that was introduced in the 80s, but I just hope the styles that they were first introduced to us as, don’t ever see the light of day again, unless they are sold in antique stores.
My dad thought he was so darn cool when the Bag Phone came out. It looked like he had a man bag, and he was beaming. The ability to contact someone anywhere you were was a magical process. The fact that you had to hold a brick up to your ear (which was probably a great work-out, especially for those ladies that really wanted to enhance and broaden their shoulders) wasn’t so magical. I bet when the mobile phone first came out, the people who didn’t know about it probably thought the world had gone crazy. “Why is that man having a passionate conversation with that inanimate object?”
