"It never fails to shock me how quickly tech cycles in and out. What was once a brand-new, totally groundbreaking invention has now faded into the background of our memories, replaced by a newer, even more exciting technology. But today we're going back in time to see how many of those forgotten objects you can remember. So here's how this works: I'll show you a photo of a popular item from 40+ years ago, and you'll have to guess what it's called. Anyone born before"

But today we're going back in time to see how many of those forgotten objects you can remember. So here's how this works: I'll show you a photo of a popular item from 40+ years ago, and you'll have to guess what it's called. Anyone born before the '80s should be able to ace this...and if you're younger than that, consider this your history lesson of the day."
Technology cycles rapidly, causing once-groundbreaking inventions to fade as newer technologies emerge. Many familiar objects from more than forty years ago are now largely forgotten by general audiences. A photo-based quiz presents images of popular items from over forty years ago and asks participants to name them. The quiz is designed so that people born before the 1980s will likely recognize the items easily. The quiz also offers younger participants an informal history lesson about past consumer technologies and cultural artifacts. The format relies on visual recognition and memory to connect users with retro gadgets and objects.
