The Rise and Fall of The Boombox

That's a huge Ipod!

le 04 janvier 2010, par David Pais

It’s 2010, we live in the future. Sadly, there’s barely nothing futuristic about this decade, having iPhones and flat screens is ok but where are the flying cars, the laser guns and hoverboards? The 80′s were way more futuristic than 2010. In the 80′s we had the Boombox, also known as the Ghetto Blaster, that was science fiction.

Evidence here:

And if today having an Ipod fulled with thousands of songs doesn’t mean jack shit about who you are, walking down the streets with a Boombox on your shoulder was a strong statement for people around you. Like it’s said on this short documentary “I’m playing this music which I know you don’t like but I dare you to stop me!”
