Fugly Packard Bell

I like how there was at least some variety in those days... what does a TV look like, is it a Predicta? Is it a basic metal box Zenith? A suitcase portable with fake alligator skin? This ridiculous wild west serving cart? A Danish modern console? Where is the variety in today's designs, they are all basically identical. Sure some of the high end sets look kind of cool, but there's sure not such a wide variety of options anymore. Same in cars.. they're all silver, grey, black blobs designed around meeting heavy handed government mandated safety standards at a competitive cost... not a bad thing but the individuality isn't there. Of course there are exceptions, but homogeneous design hardly makes the world a more interesting place, even if it allows us all to afford every gadget under the sun.
