I wish the world looked more like 1980s computer magazine covers!!!!!!!!!

byte magazine showing retrofuturist smartwatch-esque device. "future computers?"

commodore magazine with psychadelic purple background and an 80s style telephone reciever and a glowing globe

"computer magazine: the optical file cabinet" cover showing a skyscraper in a city which is just a ginormous filing cabinet

Compute's June 1992 cover shows a reflective metallic pyramid at sunset, surrounded by colorful clouds, and with a row of PCs balancing on top of it
