The museum of obsolete objects

My daughter got a new book, written in 1979 – not so long ago. When I read it to her for as bedtime story, we came across a description of two twins playing with records (not Guinness, vinyl ones) and with a phonograph. How the hell can I explain what these things are ? An old, bigger, more sensitive and noisier version of the CDs?

I wonder – most of the objects mentioned in the Bible were still in use 50 years  ago. The Bible is by far older than 30 years  🙂

However, I came a cross a great site for Nostalgia lovers – The Museum of Obsolete Objects – it is a set of videos created by a German studio. Each clip demonstrates one of the technologies that are no longer with us – floppy disk, typewriter,   pocket calculators etc. , in a short and cute way – with a mechanical voice-over and with some nice winks.

Enjoy
