Overview
Gone are the days when we would wait with anticipation while the modem be-bopped it’s way on to the world wide web just so we could scam a free song off Napster. We'd have to time it so that we could sleep while the song was downloading and by the next morning, if the line hadn’t dropped due to a phone call, we'd burn it to a CD-R at 2x speed and shove it on our discman.
If you yearn to reminisce, head to this Thursday's SmartBar: Retro Futurism event at the Melbourne Museum. Introduce yourself to one of the world’s oldest computers CSIRAC (inter what?) then fast forward and enjoy some of our newest emerging technology in 3D printing.
Oh, and did I mention you can also enjoy a stiff drink while CSIRAC sings you an electronic golden oldie? Some of life's greatest joys are still not available for download.
