CES 2009: Innovative Technology
When I was a child, my parents had a flip clock next to their bed. I remember lying on the bed, trying to fall asleep for my nap and hearing the click, click, click of each minute flip by. It makes me happy just to see a clock like this.
They also make these retro turntables. You can create a CD from an old cassette tape or record with this turntable. It’s not perfect and the record arm won’t automatically return when the record is finished playing, but it will do a fairly good job of getting your rare vinyl into the digital world.
Innovative Technology seems to have more style than innovation, but sometimes style is what we need. When you can choose from twenty identical turntables or clocks, it’s nice to be able to find something that actually works AND looks good.
