This summer, we’re digging out old devices and seeing what they were
|
||
actually like to use.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Our phones today are far more powerful than our desktop computers from
|
||
decades ago. But those old computers worked just fine! The Time
|
||
Machine project is a chance to revisit those old devices and see what
|
||
they were actually like to use.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
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.

<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This is the iPod Touch I got when I was 13. It was my first major
|
||
tech purchase and an early device in the iOS lineup. When I
|
||
purchased this I think it was running iOS 3; at this point it has
|
||
iOS 5. I was pleased to see that the battery still holds a charge
|
||
quite well, and it consistently runs at about 30 to 60 frames per
|
||
second.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In the video you can see several built-in apps. Media playback
|
||
still works great, and scrubbing around in songs is instantaneous.
|
||
App switching works well. The calculator launches instantly (as
|
||
you would hope). I was shocked to see that the old Google Maps app
|
||
still works - apparently they have kept their old tile-based map
|
||
servers online. It even gave me public transit directions.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Overall, I would say this device feels only a hair slower than my
|
||
current iPhone.
