A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.

I always love the idea in Sci-fi that in technology, they've somehow figured out personal digital assistants, but not simple UIs or slim hardware.

Like in Alien where they have all this space technology, but didn't get past using DOS.

It just needs "DON'T PANIC" plastered in friendly letters somewhere on the Device and it'd make a fantastic Hitchhikers Guide as well!
