Retro

In class we discussed a concept that went with post modernity that discusses how the media today depicts things of the past nostalgically for those who never lived them. We label things like this as being “retro” or a “reinvention.” Thinking about this concept I realize how much things like this appear in out everyday lives. From fashion trends, to advertisements, to even furniture, we see things like this magically re-appear in our society. One thing that we do change to make these “retro” objects come back is by making them bigger, better, and more up to date with our society today. This touches on the concept of our obsession with speed, and having things come at us faster, “shinier,” and more efficient than they were before.
