A engineer in the USA has adapted his 27 year old original Macintosh desktop PC so it can actually go online a job it was never expected to be able to do.This was a challenge to test if new technology and some clever coding could bring this retro piece of technology back to life. The computer has only 4mb of RAM and a 50mb hardrive which couldn't even hold a simple high resolution image in today's online society. The trend for retro products is becoming more and more popular with with new products being made in the style of old ones this makes these real old objects collectible and has a really strong market of people who are willing to pay a lot of money to own one of the original pieces.
I feel this has worked really well and could be applied to many other old products which it already has been such as using the old PlayStation controller for the new one and playing Xbox one on a old box television this is a clear trend and it influences a lot of people and the reason behind why they buy a products and for what use it will be used for.
