Gizmodo 1983

What a great idea. Gizmodo, the gadgets weblog, goes back to 1983 to look at the gadgets rocking the early 80s. There's the latest Sony Walkman - "Music isn't going to get any easier to carry around than this" - and a new hi-fi component: "First digital music player, which instead of albums reads 'compact discs' where the sound is encoded as digital bits rather than as an analog signal." I wonder what Onlineblog 1983 would look like? One for you, Jack? :-)
