Yesterday I gave a presentation on Creative Commons at the Swedish Computer Museum, ITceum, in Linköping. I have visited the museum once before but this time I got the chance to walk around before my presentation and look at all the cool stuff. It is really a nerdy nostalgia trip with old computers some of which make you cry out “I had one of those” others pre-date me.
Ready for a hard day at the office?
Collecting IT stuff into a museum is definately an interesting challenge. Much of what was created was used (abused?) and then thrown away, but it is important to remember that this is technical history at its best. The cool thing about the museum is that it is not virtual, you can actually touch an old Sinclair or IBM card sorter.
