The Museum of Lost Interactions
The Richophone, the Prat Sampler, the Acoustograph, the Social Communicator, the Case Communicator, the Chordmaster, the Zenith Radio Hat, the Pester, the Video Case: Nine examples of dead media that never lived, exhibited in the Museum of Lost Interactions at the University of Dundee.
In 1925, the Acoustograph [shown at right] was a music downloading device well ahead of its time. The upper class city families that owned these devices would request a musical composition with the Morse key, down telegraph wire.
Each exhibit is accompanied by a period film of the device in action.
