et’s go back to a magical moment in time when mobile phones didn’t exist, Justin Bieber was not born yet, and a rock ’n’ roll band from Dublin ruled the world.
If we think about it, maybe it would be easier for a time traveller from the 80s to adapt to our days than for us to go back. Today, Child’s Play, It, Rick Astley and Johnny Depp are miraculously still around. Star Wars and high-cut swimsuits are all the craze, there’s a Watchmen series coming out, and a new ’80s throwback song breaks into the charts almost every other week. On the other hand, for us, going back to the 80s would feel like being thrown right into the Stone Age. Imagine life with no social media to vent out our frustration with the last season of Game of Thrones. No LOLs, no heart-eyes emoji, no cat videos. No free porn. Picture yourself having to actually go to a store and buy one of those archaeological artefacts known as CDs. Imagine listening to music with no advertisements at 44.1 KHz/16 bit sampling frequency. The horror, the horror.
