Video from the Past - The Technology is quite antique.


Inside the room of a singleton, 1991

Here is a sneak peak back 26 years ago into my room, where I took a 360 video of everything inside it at my eye-level. Its quite funny and amazing how technology has changed how we use things or how they have empowered us or made us slaves in this modern era. It is indeed frightening that the pace of chage is relentless and as is apparent in this video that what I took with my person 26 years ago or used to entertain myself has changed so dramatically. Lets highlight a few :

a) Pens - they are replaced most times by electronic signatures and phone payments. 
b) Telephone - its nowhere in sight replaced by cellphones or handphones.
c) Letters and postcards - Heard of them ?
d) Actual photographs - You can still print out the photos of important events in your life
e) Sanyo TV using (gasp) antennae 
f) Air conditioner - OK that has not changed that much
g) Hi-fi set - Using tape recorders ! 
h) Cassette tapes - Wow !
i) Pager - Another dead in the water technology

Just 26 years ago seems like a different age, a different air and a different feel.

Seize the Day.
