Cassette Futurism 87

One of my only prized possessions:
Kosmos I biorhythm calculator (1978)

I am infatuated with it. I love how it looks and feels. But above all, I love how ridiculous it is. Like, the moment it became affordable to mass produce calculators, this company did the most pseudoscientific thing you could possibly do with one.

Thanks, æther! I use it almost everyday. But for just regular math things. Not the biorhythms lol

I love the physicality of it and it's so cool that you're using it! Sometimes it feels like our brains have been flooded with AI retrofuturist imagery and it's just comforting to interact with something that was designed to be tangible.  It's a very sweet antique!
