Will people show off their old computers and phones in say, 30 or 50 years in the future? - eviltoast

Every now and then I see a vintage car in the street, originally from the 40s or 60s, in spotless condition. Cars have been around for longer than computers… But would such a thing be viable for electronics?

Wait, does it exist already and I never heard of it?

This… Really feels like a very stupid question. Sorry

    Computer museum displays do exist. And hobbyists too (see the 8-bit guy on YouTube)

    Of course a concern with old devices and software is proper archiving since, with time, some things will degrade and stop working.
