You practically needed a Pedobear van to haul your load of entertainment around way back 30 years ago. Thanks to the eternal genius that is Apple we no longer have a need for cargo pants or mansacks. And I’d swear that Skyler Stone has a little case of Richard Alpertitis going on (note: the first photo is not actually Mr. Stone…but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look just like him).
In another 30 years maybe we’ll be viewing things like this too.
That iPhone was definitely just shopped in there. He is doing the same thing with both hands. Maybe you should throw an iPad in his other hand.
Thanks to Apple…?
All cell phones do pretty much the same thing as the Iphone. And they were out well before it. If anything, Apple's just costlier.
It took 30 years to compact all that staff into an smartphone (or iphone, i don't care)… but 30 years later we continue to use those huge DJ headphones! Isn't it a paradox?
CD in 1980? No way!!
Posted by somebody previously, "A CD in 1980? No way!!!" and that got me to thinking about it. I can clearly recall the first time I saw a CD and heard of them. I had just finished boot camp at Parris Island, and I'd gone into the Fleet at Camp Lejeune just as 1983 began to end. I'd seen CDs in the PX, and I'd also heard a local radio DJ boasting each time he'd play a song on the new CD format that was so crystal clear. Prior to that, I don't remember hearing about them, but information moved a lot slower back then. Being from the east coast, but sometimes stationed on the west coast, I couldn't believe the difference in television. It was like being in two different countries. I got to see Elvira the princess of darkness a full three or four years before she finally made it to main stream east coast TV.
Back to the original story. I went to wiki and they stated that CDs had become commercially available in 1982. If I read correctly, the CD as we know it today, was first pressed in 1981, but the technology goes back to the middle 1970s. I remember seeing the huge silver discs in the late 1970s. They looked be the same size as a 12" record, so cds are exactly what they say…
