Future Shop has the hottest back-to-school gear
Future Shop breaks down 30 years of technology with hottest products retro list
- Back to school’s hottest products over three decades -
(Burnaby, BC) August 3, 2010 - Imagine losing your Smartphone or laptop - now think back to 30 years ago and imagine life without them altogether. It’s hard to believe these items didn’t exist then. In fact, 30 years ago, Canadians had never seen a flat screen television, digital camera, mP3 player, and the list goes on. When you look back at the technology of years past, it’s a wonder how Canadians stayed connected, current and efficient. So, with back to school approaching, Future Shop, Canada’s largest retailer and e-tailer of consumer electronics, is taking Canadians on an exciting rollercoaster ride into the past, present and future of technology to remind them just how integrated electronics are in our daily activities.
“Over the years we have seen technology grow to play a primary role with Canadian students,” said Todd Empey, VP of Operations, Future Shop. “Technology has given today’s student the opportunity to find more information, do more, share ideas and be more creative than ever before - ultimately leading to their academic success.”
