[weekly dust]: Sony ICB-350W

Weekly Dust starts with communication. Here is a vintage (1970s) talkie walkie on cb frequencies. Few is known about the device on the Internet but beside its great look and timeless design the device has a very good built quality.

So for imagination: In this time of overall availability by cell phones, this device is more “on purpose” use. You need to find a situation when it comes in usefull. This is a difference to todays smartphones where everything is “on air” all the time. No need for a status light or big switches showing you the operating mode. On contrast, once the purpose found, and I could imagine expeditions in far away mountains, shooting videos with a precise action script etc…, this device is always connected as in real analog worlds (versus unreal digital ones). What situation could you think of?
