20 Brand Ads That Will Make You Travel Back in Time

Many of the products we buy today have been around for several years and have been enjoyed by many different generations before us. That’s why the way brands communicate with people had to evolve over time to fit the needs and most importantly, the ideas, of their new potential buyers. Most of the ads that our parents and grandparents fell for have lost their marketing appeal, but not necessarily their vintage charm.

The mouse was such a huge invention back in the day, I really can't see myself using a computer with tab and arrows keys!
Just like the desktop system, it even features on mobile and tablet devices.. think about the first mobile devices.. they are kinda similar to the first computers, just a menu with options
Actually true, the homescreen can be seen like a lite desktop, where you can put icons and stuff ? never thought about it like this
