Facebook, Instagram, Google, Spotify, WhatsApp and more reimagined as tech products from the 1980s
It’s a fair bet that we’d never have heard of Facebook, Instagram, Google and WhatsApp if the internet hadn’t been invented, but London-based graphic designer Thomas Ollivier has put his skills into re-imagining how some of today’s top tech brands might have looked in the pre-internet days of the 1980s.
The collection of images, which he’s titled Re:Birth, provides a fun glimpse into how technology has changed in the past 30 years. And boy has it changed.

As spotted by Metro, the collection of images includes a Facebook pager, an Instagram instant camera, a WhatsApp walkie-talkie, and a Netflix ViewMaster. The Stranger Things kids would love that last one.
Snapchat, Spotify, Google, and Adobe also appear in the photo collection.
