I'd love to see photos of stuff that appeared to be high tech or futuristic at some time in the past. I'm thinking about stuff like digital clocks with little pages that flipped like a rolodex or cell phones the size of a car battery. Or maybe tech items in decay or cars with massive tailfins....whatever used to be the future but is now almost forgotten. I think it would be a fun contest with loads of variety.
