7 of the Coolest Things We All Wished We Owned in the 80s and 90s
More than 5 million ZX Spectrum units sold, making computing affordable while Apple’s iMac G3 transformed PC design with its colorful, user-friendly style.
- In the 1980s and 1990s, various iconic products were the most desirable items, described as 'on everyone’s wishlist' and appealing to teenagers and adults alike.
- The ZX Spectrum's affordability made home computing practical, with its colour display and rainbow keyboard styling becoming a design classic in the UK market.
- Pocket organisers like the Psion Series 3a and 5a offered a clamshell keyboard with built-in word processor, spreadsheet, calendar and calculator, while later PDAs added touchscreens and styluses.
- Boomboxes in the late 80s and early 90s dominated street culture with ever-larger, louder designs that let ravers bring the party despite their hefty weight.
- On the collector market, see-through telephones and a 14-colour space-age TV fetch over 1,000 pounds, while The Clapper was heavily marketed but soon seen as impractical.
