The Duncan Wilson Cup Communicator Harks Back to Childhood

— November 10, 2009 — Tech
Ah, the good old days, when all you needed was a piece of string and a tin cup to communicate; playing on such nostalgia, the Duncan Wilson Cup Communicator is a blast from the past. Yet this isn't your ordinary technology spoof that has the look but is no fun to play with.

The Duncan Wilson Cup Communicator operates in a very child-like manner. To activate it, you tug the string. To talk, you squeeze the cup. A very interactive toy, visit DesignBoom.com for more info and images.
