LaurieWired @lauriewired.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Shame that the space kind of fizzled out…but here’s to hoping there’s a resurgence soon. There’s got to be other technologies that had an extreme “wow future” moment that never panned out. What would your “oculus” moment be in the 90s, 80s, 70s? 6200
J. Peterson @isonno.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Late '70s: Anti-aliasing: Trust me, when you've never seen it before, it's mind-blowing. Mid-80s: JPEG/DCT: Wait, you can fit 4MB of image data in a 400K file?? Early 90s: Cheap CMOS cameras. Looks like an LED, takes pictures, costs less than $10! (Video cameras ran $200+ then) 000
