Technological revival
The technological revival concept, which can also be called technological reminiscence, consists in using the technology of today to bring back to life the technological contents of yesterday.
Applicability of the concept
The technological revival concept lies within the idea of a certain nostalgia of the multimedia contents of yesterday (radio, television, video games...) It expresses itself fully with the rising of Web 2.0. It can take various forms:
- To use the high-tech possibilities to make rebirth radiophonic or televisual programs of yesterday. The Internet high flow authorizes, now, this practice on a general basis. As a matter of fact, the vintage multimedia contents are relatively easy to digitize, so that they can, then, be downloaded (NB: respect of the royalties)
EX: Setting online on Internet, some old television programs.
- To connect a technological system of yesterday with a system of today.
EX: To connect a video game console from the early generations (such as the Nintendo Entertainment System) on a video projector, a plasma screen...
Related technical terms
VHS RIP: Televisual program set online at the disposal of the Net surfers and whose native source of recording comes from the VHS standard (analogical)
Radio RIP: Radiophonic program set online at the disposal of the Net surfers and whose native source of recording comes from a radio set.
Limits of application
The technological revival works rather well with multimedia contents dating from the 90s, 80s or 70s.
Beyond that, it becomes difficult to combine technological revival and quality.
