THE BEST RETRO TECH from 1983
Muscle and Fitness Hers South Africa|Muscle and Fitness Hers August 2023
With the revival of all things the 80s, from pop music to series such as Stranger Things, we thought it would be a worthwhile exercise to jump in our time machine and see what the tech landscape was 40 years ago in 183. It was a surprisingly big year for tech and saw the release of some of the biggest tech advances we still use today. Here is our favorite tech released in 1983.
THE BEST RETRO TECH from 1983

Apple Lisa

Apple might not have been as popular in the 80s as it is today, but even in the 80s Apple was one of the most innovative and future-thinking companies around, and nothing encapsulates that more than the release of this significant and pioneering personal computer.

Named after Steve Jobs’s daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, the Lisa was one of the first computers to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) and a mouse, making it a groundbreaking product at the time.

Despite its innovative features, the Apple Lisa was not as successful in the market as Apple had hoped. Several factors contributed to its limited commercial success, including its high price (initially $9,995), competition from the more affordable IBM PC, and a lack of available software applications.

However, the technology and lessons learned from the Lisa project heavily influenced the development of subsequent Apple products, particularly the Macintosh, which was released later in 1984. The Macintosh built upon the innovations of the Lisa and eventually became a groundbreaking success, solidifying Apple’s position as a leader in user-friendly computing.
