Description
Vox Media Studios and YouTube Originals present Retro Tech, a six-episode documentary series hosted by YouTube tech guru Marques Brownlee. The series follows Marques as he uncovers how iconic technology of the past came to life and shaped history. In each episode, Marques meets with fellow YouTube creators, experts, and celebrity guests, to explore the impact each piece of vintage tech has had on our culture and why these pieces remain so revolutionary.
The official trailer for Retro Tech frames Marques Brownlee as he rewinds the clock to explore iconic devices that once defined digital culture. He unboxes a Sega Genesis in its original packaging and highlights milestones such as the first mobile phone, the JVC camcorder, the Polaroid SX-70, the Sony Walkman, the 1984 Macintosh, and the DynaTAC 8000x. The trailer blends enthusiastic demonstrations with quick tests, including wearability, playability, and durability assessments of the Walkman, while Marques and guests reminisce about early tech constraints like tactile keyboard clicks and limited storage. A running thread is the contrast between bleeding-edge past tech and today’s smartphones, with a lighthearted discussion about what K in Kilobyte actually stood for, and a nod to how far devices have come. The outro features a playful nod to Marques as a young presenter, tying the historical tech journey to his current role as a leading tech reviewer, and inviting viewers to anticipate the full six-episode series.
