Retrotechno

The love of vintage technology and retro visions of the future, most commonly from the mid to late 1900's with special focus on the 80's and early 90's.

Humerously cumbersome, oddly obsolete, or completely pointless and time consuming to use, these devices were often hailed in their time as being modern and futuristic while in retrospect seeming like a large waste of time.

Most often seen (and celebrated) in older movies dealing with cutting edge (for their time) technology, or Futuristic devices.
Johnny's cellphone was ringing, he reached to the back seat of his Delorean for the handy briefcase weighing only 14 lbs, the latest in portable technology and completely Retrotechno!

Rewrite the Encryptions 

South Park's hilarious send-up of bullshit fictional hacking in movies.

Kyle Broflowski can't log onto a message board, but is able to break through the access code by "rewriting the encryptions". He achieves this by typing furiously until the screen reads "Access Granted".
Kyle: Dammit, they've got an access code! I'll rewrite the encryptions!
(types furiously for 5 seconds)
Got it!
(Cartman and Stan look at him incredulously)
