Products of the eighties

These products didn't exactly change everything, but they certainly made an impact.

The Rubik's cube was all the rage, thoughI never could solve it. I always just peeled the stickers off and stuck them back on in any combination that made me look the smartest. My parents thought I was brilliant.

Garbage Pail Kids developed as a reaction to the sickeningly sweet cabbage patch kid dolls. Boys especially loved to collect these little monstrosities and annoy our parents.

Records? Tapes?

Nobody ever loved me enough to get me a swatch. The color scheme reminds me of Boy George.

I think this newspaper blurb makes a very strong statement.

Since this is a web page, we should look at the biggest product advances of the eighties. That of the advances in the home computer.

From the Atari 2600 to the first 128K Macintosh, the eighties were a time to realize how much technology would be destined to oversee every element of our lives.
