Retro Technology

Too old to be considered modern, but not old enough to be considered antique – in simple term, vintage. As defined in most dictionaries, the term vintage is related to the wine culture. However, as the era changes, there evolved its operational definition and started to apply itself into a subculture. Whether it is vintage shops, vintage shoes, vintage festivals, perhaps almost all occasions, events, parties are now themed as vintage or retro. Like the culture of the wine, other vintage obsessions get better, increase in value, and intensify their quality with age.



                As significant as it is to recognize the existence of the latest gadgets, science and technology of the present and the future, it is also equally remarkable to have a look at the past, appreciate and notice how far we have come. Not only has vintage been applied to clothing, celebration themes, shops, or shoes, but also many online sellers have designed protective covers for the newest smartphones available in the market. One particular manufacturer of these mobile back cases found online carries the trademark Head Case Designs. There is a cool line-up of vintage cases like the following:
