If you were lucky enough to grow up in the 90s, you might remember Beyond 2000. We watched in awe at the magic that awaited the world in the decades to come: cutting-edge innovations and seemingly over-the-top predictions of how people would live and work in the 21st century.
We saw mobile "porter office" devices, featuring touch-sensor keypads, handwriting notebooks, and speech recognition. We heard that homes and offices would one day have voice-controlled automation. We simply could not believe it.
Fast forward to now, and we have all that and more. But we've experience our fair share of dinosaur tech to get here. Chunky computers, brick-sized mobile phones, portable cassette players and game cartridges are just a few of the gems the kids of today will never know.
Thankfully, all the nostalgic memories are being kept alive by a community dedicated to sharing pics of Retro Tech. The page provides an epic trip back in time and Bored Panda has put together some of its best posts.
