The Fascinating World of Vintage Tech: My Journey into Badge Collecting
As a tech enthusiast and shop owner, I often come across abandoned computers that have seen better days. Recently, I’ve embarked on a unique journey: collecting vintage badges from these forgotten machines. But there’s a twist—I’m exclusively focusing on incorrect badges!
Each badge tells a story, reflecting a moment in technological history, showcasing branding, design, and the quirks of past eras. It’s incredible to think that these small pieces of plastic, metal, or paper carry such significance, capturing not just the identity of a product but also the evolution of technology.
The thrill of uncovering these badges lies not only in their aesthetic appeal but also in the nostalgia they evoke. Many of these badges are relics from a time when computing was rapidly evolving, and the stories behind the inaccuracies on these badges are often just as interesting as the displays themselves.
In this ongoing collection, I aim to raise awareness about the importance of preserving our technological history, albeit in a quirky way. If you share this fascination with retro tech or have any stories about your own badge collecting adventures, I would love to hear from you!
Join me on this journey through the past as I delve deeper into the world of vintage badges and unearth the stories they have to tell.
