Technology is always marching on, and for the most part, that's a good thing. Gadgets get more efficient, more powerful, cheaper, smaller, all around nicer.

"These kids are losing time where they create beauty every day," Professor Christen said. "But it's hard for me to make a practical argument for it. I'm not one who's mourning it because of that; I'm mourning the beauty, the aesthetics."
You would think the first remote controls would be dead simple to use. What the heck could they do, right? Change three channels? Turns out that a remote from 1961 had much more to worry about then just flipping channels.
Do you remember the Game Keeper? I definitely do. It was a godsend! This vintage ad shows how "keeping the Game Boy portable was tough...until now." But wait a minute, what the hell, was it always that bulky?
Nike! I love their shoes, dig their commercials and can't imagine a world where they're not the best athletic gear company around. But it wasn't always like this.
