Retro Watch
By Sarah Dobbs in Editorial
Posted in Uncategorized on
As per usual, I was in magpie-mode on the Tube this morning. Of the fifteen people in my carriage, I spotted four pairs of white earphones and one pair of black ones.
The woman sitting next to me was using a green iPod Mini — which isn’t all that retro, really, though it is a couple of generations of iPod ago. More interestingly, a guy a couple of seats down was playing Sonic The Hedgehog on a Sega Nomad. Yup, a console that went on sale in 1995.
I’m not really sure what that means. Other than “wow, that guy probably really takes care of his gadgets” (I’m not sure I’ve owned anything that’s lasted longer than a year, ever).
