Summary

A nostalgic project that recreates the 90s TV experience using a Raspberry Pi to play random content from that era, exploring whether the feeling of having programming selected for you rather than on-demand streaming provides a more authentic entertainment experience.

Growing up in the 90s, television was a different experience. You turned on the TV, and whatever was playing at that moment would become your entertainment.
Nowadays you yourself are in control, you choose what you want to see, whenever you want. Strangely enough, I miss that feeling of having something selected for me, something I cannot influence.
Maybe it's just my nostalgic musings, but why not create an afternoon project out of it and actually find out if there's something more to this nostalgic feeling.
