I really appreciate that those crazy and beautiful designs are ones that could only come about because of the prevailing mood in society at the time.
Back then there was genuine optimism in the promise of technology to deliver a better tomorrow, and the design really reflects that.
Design like that just isn't going to happen now, because our feelings about tech and the world and the future are just so different.
