Back in the 80s technology was different than what we have today. In the 80s the technology wasn't as advanced as it is today. Most computers weren't in color, and they had a big monitor.
An example is the phone in the 80s phone were big, they had wires and they weren't touchscreen. But today we have touchscreen and we have no wires.

Tina Turner Converse All Star Commercial

1983 commercial - Converse All Stars - They're Everywhere

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Great commercial showing the many colours of these iconic sneakers, worn with classic 1980s-style clothes. Compared to the huge variety of styles and colours of today's All Stars, it seems almost primitive.
