***********************************************************
We did an episode called "We are going backwards" on Oct 25 2024 on the trend of people buying record players, vinyl records, AM/FM radios, boom boxes. There was then and is a need now, for real tactile experiences vs digital ones. Going back to a more simple time not dominated by digital everything.
2 years later, NPR has an episode on Oct 26, 2026 on the explosion of wired ear buds for music, moving away from wireless buds. People want the cords. Moving backwards again. They also cover other retro trends on this episode. We see trends before the bigger marketplace picks it up. welcome grasshopper.
