While in Tokyo I had a few hours to myself and visited the Extinct Media Museum. What a cool place! It's a tiny museum filled to capacity with cameras, audio players, cell phones and computers. What's really great is that you can grab all of the objects and handle them - most are not operable, but it's amazing to get the sense memory of holding an old flip phone or a 1980s camera.

(2/2) There was so much to discover - there are also walls with old brochures for 1980s-2000s devices. Japanese magazines from the era, and more hardware all over the place.

@tsturm@famichiki.jp Couldn’t quite tell whether there’s a Kyocera 7135 in there. That thing was peak tech for early 2000s: PalmOS flip phone w/Graffiti pad, real phone keypad, >&< color touchscreen, SD card slot, & extensible antenna
