My 20 yrs old daughter, and her friends, are into a "retro-thing" nowadays. Two Christmas's ago she wanted a record (vinyl) player for Christmas. She likes some retro clothes too. So who knows, with all of the virtual this and virtual that, and online social blah, blah, blah maybe the younger generation will end up yearning for things which are tactile and which most of
us grew up with.
