The museum of lost interactions is a collection of forgotten communication and entertainment media. What is interesting is that gadgets we consider modern technology were actually born a long time ago. For instance, iTunes may be dominating now with their music download service but it was with the acoustograph back in 1925 where familes could request musical compositions via morse code down a telegraph wire, that the idea was born. Or the text message: actually first invented as the social communicator back in 1932 using wireless morse code technology people could commuincate throughout the bustle of a city. And when do you think portable video was began: try 1979, with the release of the video case, VHS on the move complete with an ashtray. Check out the complete collection as it makes for a fascinating read!
