For the second part of this Seinfeld retrospective, I focus on the many technologies that were prevalent during its run, and vehicles of that time period. Three decades can change a lot in modern society: cell phones and the internet have largely transformed how we communicate, and a substantial number of vehicle brands and models have ceased production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Technology has made society more mobile than it was at any other time in history, yet if you live in New York, good parking spaces are still elusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This three part series is organized by topic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part One<\/a>: The Un-Branding, Dunkers & Dictators, and The Mom & Pop Stores<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part Two: Hot Wizards With Many Functions<\/a>, and Sweet Rides<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part Three<\/a>: Society Now!, and What Consumer, I’m The Consumer?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
