@someuser4166 Not everything in the 2000's was optimistic, especially not politically (what really flipped the general optimism was 9/11, followed by the War on Terror, followed by the Great Recession), however the 2000's were an optimistic time in terms of tech.
As someone who always view himself as a "Tech guy"... right now I'm just bored with tecnology, everything looks so lame and oversimplified, and the Tech Landscape is just showing random specs that actually... don't really matter as much as tech people wanna make it seem to be I really don't like being a Grumpy old boomer, but it's so fun to see older Tech being clever and creatively engineered, or just having silly designs. It makes me smile every time I watch theese creative experiments. I really love those hamster Headphones
while studying in computer science, i was always an advocate of how important creativity was when it comes to software.. and after doing this, i think it is very much needed in its physical design as well, especially since the tech we buy doesnt last forever. i felt like creativity wasnt really cared about whenever i spoke about it to tech peers >.< but i cant blame them, art is an entirely different thing. i wasnt expecting the video to get views as much as it has now, but i hope this video may be an inspiration to a tech person somewhere
The biggest modern software standards and packages have no real competitors, all thanks to the unscrupulous actions of governments and large corporations, who used strategies that should be illegal. Competition is now pointless or illegal and collaboration impossible, which results in an incredibly stagnant and déclassé tech space. Most of the users have been succesfully captured and subjugated as was planned from the start, lulled into delusions of freedom and righteousness that serve but the corporations. Our entire tech ecosystem has been poisoned from the bottom up.
0:47 I seriously would love if we devolved from touchscreens back to physical buttons. It's like if they made keyboards a touch screen...absolutely not lol Also omg the hamster smartphone is a VIBE i miss the days when smartphones looked creative and unique T_T
when i was editing the vid i wanted to cry coz my phone keyboard started lagging so much out of nowhere 😭 but the only thing i will miss is the swipe texting feature coz i use it to type with one hand a lot
I saw a video about a keyboard with a screen underneath (like the keys were transparent) and I was lowkey horrified Lmao yes you can change the background (is supposedly customizable for different types of work I think) but at what cost?
@@Bane_Amesta The flux keyboard right?? Like I see the vision but there’s no soul :c I just KNOW those key-pressing sounds don’t hit the same… Also ngl having videos playing on my keyboard would distract me so bad LOL
I was in high school when the switch to touch screens was happening and it was the worst, I always hated it and even though I'm used to it now, I wish we still had physical keyboards. It was honestly sooo much easier to type without looking at your phone (which was handy in class). Autocorrect is like a necessary feature now but with a physical keyboard you prettyu much didn't need it at all.
so weird being only 26 but having to say "back in the day" but really it was so much different the true meaning of "you just had to be there", i miss those times
i get what you mean the vibes are just not there right now. everything is going for a more simple deign. i like the sophistifuture or y2kish designs for tech. i love your designs for the mobile hand held. since its circular you could even make a cd port for music.
I miss 2000s tech design. People talk about blobjects and how odd they were compared to today's minimalist steel and glass rectangles, but it felt friendly. Organic. It was designed to smoothly integrate itself into your life and fit in your home, and now it feels like it's meant to dominate
OH MY GOSH YESSS I LOVE DESIGNING STUFF LIKE ITS THE 2000S AND EARLY 2010S!!! ITS SO FREAKING FUN AND THERES SO MUCH TO INNOVATE ON!! I REALLY WISH I COULD AFFORD TO MANUFACTURE SOME OF MY DESIGNS AND INSPIRE PPL...
I love the visuals of vintage tech, but I think my favourite era of tech was around the millenium because they really cared about conveying this idea that you're about to be living in the future, and so embraced all the wierdness that that included. I mean, the Apple website looked awesome back then. After the first Iphone everybody sought to copy Apples success and it all started to become increasingly similar until nowadays when I can barely tell apart the major flagship phones. I love the designs of older computers too, like the Compaq portables with that cool briefcase and pop out keyboard, or the Sony Walkmans. I actually quite like the boring white designs of tower pc's back in the 90s-00s, and I also think the way that a computer would be placed under the monitor is really cool. Also 4:3 ratio seems cooler, the length we use today is waay too long imo. Also DVDs and CDs are sooo cool. They look cool with that shiny look, and any of that physical media where you have to stick it into something is never not awesome. Floppy discs look cool too, game cartridges casettes and vhs look cool too, etc.
i grew up with this exact kind of tech and this aesthetic, so this video was absolute blissful nostalgia. you are so creative (i would buy every product you designed no joke) and this has honestly become a comfort video of mine
God I miss this era. I am 26, so I was a kid in the 2000s, but if I was an adult I could totally see myself getting immersed in all the cool and unique tech of the time. These days we've stagnated, every company follows the same exact design for everything. The 2020s is getting better at companies being unique again, but the 2010s were terrible for that with simple flat design. Web design and physical product designs are all so bland now. Same formula for everything, and no one trying to innovate or stand out. I want popping colors on all my tech, like Apple designed the iPod to be. I want my computers to come in all colors with flashy designs. I want more transparent technology that was popular in the 90s and 2000s. Give me cool looking items I want to use, not the same bland tech I'm forced to use. I love this video!
0:37 SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. I grew up with touchscreens and cannot STAND them! Touch screens alone make me genuinely consider switching to a feature phone. Even at work, everything is a touchscreen. Timeclock, production machines, scanguns, we use an iphone to handle curbside pickup, I'm surprised we don't use tablets for computer training at this point. All of this equipment is worse for relying on touchscreens as we could be so much faster & more efficient with physical buttons and a regular screen. 😮💨😮💨😮💨
omg I love it all, the SMB2 music, the hamster designs and you're really actually excited about what you made. This just gave me the best warm feeling in my tummy.
Aaah, these are so fun and imaginative, not to mention super cute! I would love more variety in modern tech design honestly, and I think you did a great job with all of these. 10/10 would buy a hamster phone
Wow this make me nostalgic so much. I remember going to my grandma's house and playing on Sony Ericsson, a game called bounce. Back then my parents only had old nokia black and white phone, with snake game on it. Back then that was the dream to play bounce
My favorite was the Hammy portable gaming device. I love the idea of putting some parts of the game's HUD onto their own little displays in the corners!
Was born in 2006, so I got to see a little bit of that older optimism with technology, mainly through game consoles or my brother's things (He's 10 years older than me) Everything was so magical back in the day, it's hard to get excited for stuff now. Your designs are super neat and bring back a bit of that old vibe !
Omg I’m only at the part where your designing the phone and it kind of reminded me of those idogs or whatever they were shape wise idk we need more slightly animal shaped tech
This was a really fun idea, haven't seen anyone sit down and just kinda appreciate an aesthetic like this in a while. If you ever do any writing I bet the world building would go crazy
At first, I thought this video was about how people in the 1990s to 2000s designed sci-fi tech in anime because I grew up with these and always thought, "Wow, we're kind of losing wonder and creativity for designing cool or silly-looking future tech". But I enjoyed this video about a similar subject a lot! It was really good and fun to watch :D I just wanted to share my thoughts to see if anyone feels the same way about that as well.
I'm 16 rn, and i have a few old things in our parents apartment, a few floppy disks, many CDs, gameboy advance sp, a 3ds and 2 Wii Us. I love them all to death. Hope one day people could return to this retro stuff, it was so cool
I LOVE how much individuality and originality tech had back then. Frutiger Aero is one aesthetic that brings me back to that time. It was so cool And I really think these designs captured that individuality pretty well! All of those look like they'd be really fun to use in real life. I wish we stayed with unique designs for our technology :(
Really cool stuff! It's a shame we don't get cool designs like these in tech these days (hell, even the UIs on the devices have become pretty bland). I really miss transparent plastic on things. It was always interesting to be able to see the internals of a device, especially if it lit up.
Oh god i cannot remember when i last felt hope towards modern tech. I really do miss old times. Thou i really really really hope that soon enough people who are bored with curent design trends will finaly be the ones at the wheel and stuff will be fun again.
wow all your designs were so fun especially for the game device I'm glad you approached it from a more artsy standpoint rather than thinking purely like tech-minded or functionality bc I feel like that's what the early 2000s designs were all about - fun and funky designs even if it wasn't always the most functional or minimalistic lol - this video was so nostalgia and I think you perfectly captured the vibes of that era!
BRO IS OLD, ANCIENT, CLOSER TO THE GRAVE, YEARS AWAY TO DUST, FADING AWAY, ABOUT TO TURN INTO LEMONADE, SALAD, SAUCE, TOMATO, WAIT THATS MY GROCCERY SHOP LIST
great video, you've gained yourself a subscriber! I'd definitely buy a hamster camera. I'd get into photography just to own one of those. I would love to see more designs! they're much more aesthetically pleasing than the bland 2d tech we've gotten used to.
The wii menu music 1:02 made me flinch. tThe wii I had stopped working in 2017 and I was still thinking i had heard it like two years later going to turn it off realizing it was gone. You would only have to play that menu music quitely in the background to make me think id gone crazy.
this is the reason I went back to CRT's. Tech had a personality. Plus, PC CRT's have better motion clarity, black levels, native resolution and high refresh rates. We never had the graphics fidelity to show off what they could do back then, until now. Watching and playing on a CRT is amazing
You nailed the product design vibe 👌 One of the reasons I still use my PSP! Tech back then was simply just fun, really miss it (specially Sony, agreed 100%) Miss products being made of plastic instead of the fragile luxury materials that are used nowadays and age so badly… (plus all the fun colors and transparent plastics!) The game I’m working on is heavily inspired on this vibe, specially the menus, it’s so cool! Can’t wait for it to be out. We need this vibe back, creative and fun tech!! (And apply that to every other product tbh)
while ive always preferred living in the present especially with social media and remote work, i like the aesthetics tech had before. i’ve always been into tech too, so seeing seeing people embrace these designs again is awesome
*Clicks video* *Monkey Target 2 starts playing* *"Oh you know it's gonna be peak."* These are really cute ideas! Technology needs some life breathed back into it, and not soulless monopolized minimalism. It also just needs to... you know, function practically and reliably. Bring buttons back. Just because touchscreens are more technologically-advanced does not mean they're the more useful option!
Recently I've been looking for my 3ds because there was just something different about playing on that as a portable device rather than a phone, and the clicky buttons were also so good
We're starting to see a rise in DIY gadgets (such as the growing custom Gameboy casings and boards community on YT), because it's much more affordable to machine/prototype with services like PCBway and high-resolution FDM/SLS 3D printers. It's only a matter of time before we see a revival of the Y2K-era blobject designs in consumer products.
Bro bro bro-- I am eating that smartphone and headphone design. TToTT I also like the idea for the camera, where one of thea ears has the flash, this is so niiiiiccceeeeeeee WAAAAAA 🌻💖💖✨️
Tech back then was absolutely in a creative period back in the 00s since everyone was trying to be the big leap forward in a young industry. In the end though apples sleek product design stuck and ended up gentrifying tech design in the 2010s.
I cannot overatate how much i want a drawing tablet and keyboard attached to the side of my phone (and yes, it would all be made of steel with hotswappable batteries)
I love the tech That stuff (specifically the headphones) reminds me about the current hifi music stuff like daps and iems. The dap that I am looking at right now that I have been wanting for a couple of years is the HiBy r6 pro ii, it looks so cool!
4:32 for the games you can either make a site for gamers to upload onto the site like some kinda rom file. So maybe this device should be half internet and half emulator
I love these designs! The 2000's was my childhood. Technology feels too bland and standardized nowadays. The 2000's was truly a Wild West of experimentation, up until smartphones and tablets took over.
Any time I hear 2000s tech mentioned, I get intense nostalgia for those Sharper Image magazines back in the day, which were crammed full of items that looked like The Future, I still have an IMac G3 because I just love how it looks with the clear keyboard and mouse, and the bright colored case. I might also have an old CD player around as well, which had a particularly roundy look with those LCD displays that seemingly everything had. Regarding your designs, I think some of them really capture the shapes, but I think the coloration is a little bit of a miss. For example, the Hammy Phone perfectly hits the overall cutesey look, but I think the usage of the screen as an open mouth is a bit disconcerting, and think a device of that shape would probably be produced in a pearlescent pink with a light blue screen background. Similarly, the portable game console really captures the "Let's make everything blobby and/or water-like.", and so would probably would be produced in vibrant paint-flake colors, perhaps as a brilliant blue-purple.
I have so many ideas with that sliding smartphone concept. Personally i wouldn't mind even twice the thickness of it especially since triple fold phone already exist in China. so here goes: - extra battery/memory. With double the colume you can put even more capacity for battery or storage. - better camera experience. I dislike portrait videos for many unrelated reasons. People still do that because it's understandably the most comfortable handheld position. That swivel design would help filming in landscape. Literal fullscreen. With the keyboard moved out of the screen, i can type something without losing view of 50% of the screen.
I LOVE old tech! In fact, I hardly ever use anything that's new, aside from a smartphone (which I don't really like using, it's so boring). I'm typing this from my 2010 ThinkPad X201 Tablet :3
We were so hopeful for the future back then. You did a great job capturing that vibe.
THANK YOUU, i was worried i wouldnt be able to catch the vibe but ty for validating me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
hopeful?
@@snoot6629 Yes, hopeful about what benefits tech would bring.
I wouldn't say that. This was the era edge lord Lincoln Park music and emo stuff

Also the combination of javascript, mobile design philosophy and normies joining the internet lobotomized UI/UX designers and developers.

Add the splash of pure white and the clean look of operating room and you have modern looking product

I liked this video too much to close it without leaving a comment
Real
thank you for the kind comment !!! 🙇♀️
omg I love it all, the SMB2 music, the hamster designs and you're really actually excited about what you made. This just gave me the best warm feeling in my tummy.
ahhhh I love old tech so much and these designs are awesome!!
We all gotta admit Sony was the pinnacle of innovation from the 80's until late 2000's.
These are ridiculously good

where's the waifu shaped phone huh
these are insanely cool and creative!! i wish modern tech looked more like this
Really nice work capturing a vibe that's dearly missed!

What's wrong with it?
I really like that handheld console design, it seems like something Playstation or Sega would make back then. I'd buy it up
"hammy tech" sounds more like a company who would make a laptop and not a whole computer
this is the reason I went back to CRT's. Tech had a personality. Plus, PC CRT's have better motion clarity, black levels, native resolution and high refresh rates. We never had the graphics fidelity to show off what they could do back then, until now. Watching and playing on a CRT is amazing
speaking of sleek cool looking tech, the nokia 5000 was the prettiest thing ever.
You nailed the product design vibe 👌
One of the reasons I still use my PSP!
Tech back then was simply just fun, really miss it (specially Sony, agreed 100%)
Miss products being made of plastic instead of the fragile luxury materials that are used nowadays and age so badly… (plus all the fun colors and transparent plastics!)

Styles in tech from back then was really neat! ^^ form from the imaginations of talented peeps hehe

aaaaa aI love portur!!! (also coll design! I love that old type of futuristic technology designs)
i absolutely LOVE these. i miss when tech was more interesting!
omg yes I love that you actually tried to think like it's the 2000s
Even to this day, I still adore Nokia lumia 520, Sony ericsson C903, Blackberry Q10 and Z10 eventhough I never have them 🥺.
absolutely amazing! i was really searching for something just like this, awesome concepts! I would so buy the headphones
god, old tech looks so cool, it makes me want to see these kinds of designs to come back

I'd love if this tech would become real

this is so cute, i love it
now i want those headphones so bad lol. i like the way it looks with the buttons on the parts over the ears
That era also brought us the gameboy camera which is cool too!
Beautiful examples of design, all of them very creative and perfectly believable. I say we fund them all!
Bro bro bro-- I am eating that smartphone and headphone design. TToTT I also like the idea for the camera, where one of thea ears has the flash, this is so niiiiiccceeeeeeee WAAAAAA 🌻💖💖✨️
I ADORE THIS
If that phone was available I would buy it no joke, super cute. I miss slidy phones sooo much!
Tech back then was absolutely in a creative period back in the 00s since everyone was trying to be the big leap forward in a young industry.
In the end though apples sleek product design stuck and ended up gentrifying tech design in the 2010s.
legendary small youtube pull
I cannot overatate how much i want a drawing tablet and keyboard attached to the side of my phone (and yes, it would all be made of steel with hotswappable batteries)

I LOVE THIS I LOOOVVEEE THIS!!
I ADORE THE DESIGNS SO MUCH!!

underrated video
I love the tech
That stuff (specifically the headphones) reminds me about the current hifi music stuff like daps and iems.
The dap that I am looking at right now that I have been wanting for a couple of years is the HiBy r6 pro ii, it looks so cool!
It was a totally unique vibe, I wish it would make a comeback :O
Very nice work indeed 😌
you are correct, the early 2000s tech was peak.

4:32 for the games you can either make a site for gamers to upload onto the site like some kinda rom file. So maybe this device should be half internet and half emulator
I love those hampster phones.
I love these designs! The 2000's was my childhood. Technology feels too bland and standardized nowadays. The 2000's was truly a Wild West of experimentation, up until smartphones and tablets took over.
Good old days 😮💨
Any time I hear 2000s tech mentioned, I get intense nostalgia for those Sharper Image magazines back in the day, which were crammed full of items that looked like The Future, I still have an IMac G3 because I just love how it looks with the clear keyboard and mouse, and the bright colored case. I might also have an old CD player around as well, which had a particularly roundy look with those LCD displays that seemingly everything had.
Regarding your designs, I think some of them really capture the shapes, but I think the coloration is a little bit of a miss. For example, the Hammy Phone perfectly hits the overall cutesey look, but I think the usage of the screen as an open mouth is a bit disconcerting, and think a device of that shape would probably be produced in a pearlescent pink with a light blue screen background. Similarly, the portable game console really captures the "Let's make everything blobby and/or water-like.", and so would probably would be produced in vibrant paint-flake colors, perhaps as a brilliant blue-purple.
I have so many ideas with that sliding smartphone concept. Personally i wouldn't mind even twice the thickness of it especially since triple fold phone already exist in China. so here goes:
- extra battery/memory. With double the colume you can put even more capacity for battery or storage.
- better camera experience. I dislike portrait videos for many unrelated reasons. People still do that because it's understandably the most comfortable handheld position. That swivel design would help filming in landscape.
Literal fullscreen. With the keyboard moved out of the screen, i can type something without losing view of 50% of the screen.
I LOVE old tech! In fact, I hardly ever use anything that's new, aside from a smartphone (which I don't really like using, it's so boring). I'm typing this from my 2010 ThinkPad X201 Tablet :3
