Alex Varanese Imagines What Modern Gadgets Would Have Looked Like in 1977

— June 23, 2010 — Tech
Alex Varanese has redesigned your favorite gadgets with a 70s spin, and the result is pretty awesome. I've always wondered what an iPod would look like if it were made in 1977.

Alex Varanese designs come from a simple desire to travel back in time with current electronics and make a boat load of money. The cell phone seems like it would be the most likely to fit in with the 70s and actually be profitable. I love all of these designs from Alex Varanese. A 70s Gameboy is always a win in my book.
