      Seems a bit odd to have so much standard, correct-era tech. Having anachronism seems like the point, the futurism bit. Like Quadrilateral Cowboy, or often Cowboy Bebop.

      The one exception may be the stuff like that Nissan 300ZX (1985) digital dashboard, that feels anachronistic in an entirely different way. I could imagine a 3hr video essay on how expensive the design was, or perhaps a Technology Connections breakdown of the functionality/workings/issues etc.

      I dig it. Great work on all your posts! So much cool shit. Makes me feel like back in the 70s and 80s we had big dreams of where the human race was heading. Many people who didn’t make it past those decades would probably be severely disappointed.

        Eh, we might not have flying cars and moon bases, but we’ve still done pretty well. We have the internet, smartphones, electric cars, and 3D printers. Medicine continues chugging along nicely, infant mortality is down, and literacy is up.
