This past weekend, while the internet was busy arguing about the latest AI news, I was at the thrift store flipping through a box of cassette tapes. I found a B-52s album, a dodgy-looking workout mix from 1987, and a surprisingly pristine copy of Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation. All three made it into the bag.Then, on Sunday, I clambered into the attic to dig out my old Xbox so I could play Guitar Hero (Legends of Rock to be exact). The keys were a little sticky, but it didn't matter because the pure rush of nostalgia took over the second 'Slow Ride' started playing.There's something genuinely lovely about tech that just does one thing and does it well.
