Thought out our generation, we see a lot of development on technology, for example cassette tape, CDMA phone, typewriter, game boy were once the most popular gadgets in their time, but as technology developed, those things are no longer being use any more, Mp3 has over taken cassette tape, mobile phone network today doesn’t cover CDMA phone anymore due to the introduction of Sim card technology in mobile phone, computer and printer are much widely use than typewriter, and game boy is too out of date for consumer to buy. All those things were once very important to us but now they are rarely used/seen in our world now days! It seems like ages since the birth of those technologies, but it was only 20 years ago! Our generation is developing so fast and people don’t realize that those things were the beginning of our technological world. It is similar to the beginning of human kind.
For the past decades we have been trying to find out more information about the past, and we actually get those historical information by discovering fossil, then we predict what those fossils are and how it was changed.
I am aiming to collect as many of those ex-popular gadgets as possible, than reproduce or make them to fossil alike, so those gadgets will become the evidences of our history, then people can look at those fossil-objects in a different point of view instead of old gadget which has no meaning to this world anymore!
Possibly once those object are made, they can be view in a gallery or in the national history museum…

Hey Hung! You have done a very good job for the D&AD. You turned it over.
And your idea for the FMP I think is a really good one. There's so many things that we keep at home completely new cos we don't use them anymore just because we now have something better, or quicker... newer! They became useless, they became fossils, just documentation of the evolution of our culture, I guess. I find it really interesting.

Hey, great work Hung. The photography on your D&AD video is amazing! I agree with Cristina, i think it is a really good idea for a FMP, and i can't wait to see it done. All the best, Teresa
Regarding your final project, your core idea of technology, development and gadgets becoming obsolete is interesting- yet producing fossils to illustrate your point is a 'one trick pony', with no depth. You beed to go back to the assessmnt criteria and engage in a wider and more challenging project to attest whether your core project theme still hols up.

Hey Hung,
Cristina, Aimee and I were talking about your project last night. Its a definite conversation starter! I think that the concept is there, it's just getting the outcome right. Maybe concentrate on the visual style of the period that most of these technologies evolved from.

hey hung, this agency has done something really interesting with outmoded technology, perhaps it might help you translate this into something graphic-
