They got it so wrong but it love it. The optimism and creativity was top notch. They really thought we would have flying cars and microwaves that would make full meals.

They kinda nailed though with advertising everywhere. I had thought about that the last time I got gas and had a screen blasting ads at me.

Why does Everything from the past look so futuristic, so much more advanced in useful nature. It's a shame every thing has turned into An ugly commodity

ā Itās 2025 as I write this, and Iām holding what wouldāve been seen as a supercomputer just 50 years ago in the palm of my hand. I can Google any image, take a photo, post it online, and reach millions in seconds. But stillā¦ I find myself missing the past. The āgood days.ā And maybe you do too.
For years now, Iāve noticed something. When I scroll, I see grainy VHS clips, blurry digital photos, old games on outdated consoles. And I always ask why. But I know the answer.
Everything today feels polished. Weāve got 8K, 160fps, ultra-HD in our pockets. Even the cheapest cameras capture insane quality. But is that a true reflection of us? I donāt think so.
Weāre drawn to whatās imperfect because weāre imperfect. That raw, nostalgic look feels more real. And especially in moments of uncertainty, people turn to it for comfort. Itās familiar. It feels safe. According to fMRI studies, nostalgia even lights up reward centers in our brain, particularly the medial prefrontal cortex.
Thatās why you see it everywhere now. People are buying old iPhones just to get the early 2010s look in photos. Brands are tapping into that too. Nostalgia marketing has seen a 20 to 30 percent rise recently.
Itās not just media. Itās clothes, logos, design. Minimalism and modernism made everything clean, but in doing so, kind of erased the personality. People want character again. They want imperfection. They want bold, messy, loud. They want to feel something. ā

Nothing better than giving someone a little squeeze to show them you got them. Itās always great when someone can sense that you need it and add a little something to the hug. Donāt settle for a dap. Get in there.
