I assume the bike was included because of the photography and the model, which are very early 80’s.
The rest though, I agree… I prefer the design of many of the items pictured (especially the boom boxes) over the current equivalents. Not that it’s all good - a lot of it is pretty bad - and not that all modern design is bad (much of it is quite good).
It was kind of a half-assed slideshow… but what do you expect
I enjoyed it more than most internet slideshows, and I particularly appreciated that it was easy and fast to navigate through.
