A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.
Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

The CNET rather pushes its investigations towards the coupling of telephone and television, developing, in 1974, the TIC-TAC system (Integrated Terminal Including Television and Keyboard Call). But TIC-TAC is only a prefiguration. The culmination of the work, a veritable marriage of computers and the telephone, will take the name of Interactive Videotex.
