    28 Snapshots of Nostalgic Tech That Once Looked Like the Future

    Before everything fit in your pocket and came with a touchscreen, computers were something else entirely. They were loud. They were slow. They were beige. And we loved them like they were magic.

    Growing up with early PCs meant living in a world where every click was an act of faith. You didn't just use a computer - you wrestled with it, waited for it, begged it not to crash. It had personality. Charm. A fan that sounded like a jet engine. A keyboard that could survive a war. And somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, it felt like the future was unfolding right in front of you.
