There was a post on HN the other day where the Instagram algo was discussed - look at something once and see it for the next three weeks. Oddly, at some point it's decided I like to see pictures of old hifi equipment and Walkmans in particular. Turns out there's a massive community of collectors and displayers, and the pictures are actually pretty great. It also reminded me just how great 'tech' was back then. I was a kid in the 80s and a teen in the 90s and it brought back memories of just how magical it all felt! Technology didn't feel like it was iterating as quickly, and things like a tiny Walkman with tiny earbud headphones playing a tape of a new band your friend had found, in a world that wasn't instant and connected - was everything. ...I remember when all this was fields... Sigh.
