Before it was an icon, saving meant a floppy disk
A little square of plastic could hold your homework, your workday, or the only copy you really needed.
The Back When collection
Retro Tech
The buttons we pressed, the things we saved, and the machines we grew up with.
A pocketful of quarters could become an entire afternoon
The glowing cabinet, the waiting crowd, and one more attempt at the score you nearly reached.
The photographs you had to wait to see
You pressed the shutter, hoped for the best, and discovered the results another day.
When writing a page made a sound
The keys, the moving paper, and the moment a sentence became something permanent in front of you.
A whole new place was one click away in a View-Master
A cardboard reel, a plastic viewer, and the small surprise of seeing a flat picture gain depth.
