Twenty-five years ago, the world was a very different place – no digital, no dot-com, no mobile phones, no tweets, status updates or blogs. So, what did we think the future would deliver and what have we ended up with? Take a step back to the future with Stop. Rewind. It looks back at what the 80s and 90s generations thought the future would be like. Using images shot over the past quarter century, it showcases the hilarious and often hapless ideas that fell by the wayside and those innovations which were truly a glimpse into the future. Each themed episode shows the development of a tech industry, documenting how each latched onto new technology, materials and designs to eventually become the common gadgets, goods and services we know today.
