This summer, we're digging out old devices and seeing what they were actually like to use.

Our phones today are far more powerful than our desktop computers from decades ago. And yet, those old computers worked just fine! The Time Machine project is an opportunity to boot up those old devices and see how they feel to use.

As our hardware has improved, how has the user experience changed? Which parts have stayed the same? Which parts have gotten worse? There's only one way to find out.
<strong>Take video of yourself using an older device.</strong> Any personal device from any time period is great. We're particularly interested in the history of day-to-day devices like personal computers and mobile phones.
<strong>Send us the video link + extra info.</strong> Tell us about this device, when you got it, what specs it has, and anything else you think is interesting. We'll get the video posted here on the website for everyone to see.

At the end of the summer, we'll compile all the submissions into a final report.
