technology related sensory memories from my childhood

  • sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
  • the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
  • ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper 
  • rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo
  • The “warp speed” sound of a VCR rewinding a VHS tape.
  • The sound of all the static electricity discharging off the screen when you turned off your CRT monitor or TV after it’s been on for a long time.
  • Modem handshake.
  • The “tick-tick-tick CLICK” sound of a rotary phone’s dial returning to home after you input a number.
