Read excerpt
Back in my day, there was nothing more important than seeing how far you could get a BMX off the ground. Photo / Unsplash Every now and then I look back at my childhood and wonder how I made it to adulthood. Not because I had particularly reckless parents. Far from it.

Remember Think Big in the 70s? Now it's time to Think Small (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Small ideas can sometimes lead to the biggest results. Back in the late 1970s, New Zealand started Thinking Big. Really big. Not standing in the backyard with a tape measure wondering if you could get another 2m of deck in. This was nation-building stuff.

Read excerpt
They don't make 'em like this anymore: Glenn Dwight's beloved GEC Weltron 2001. Photo / Glenn Dwight Every house has that one thing guests point at and ask, “What’s that?” If you’ve never seen one, it looks like someone in the early 1970s was asked to design a stereo for the year 2001 and decided the future would be made entirely from spheres.
