The interesting catch is that all of the appliances are extinct models that were replaced by computer chip technology. While it seems simple, it is a clever way to salute the permeation of technology in our society, and worth a quick glance. The second part of the exhibition appeals to a wider crowd.

Some of it works, some of it doesn't, and some are really stupid.
