   Despite the many technological advances, the ability to communicate anywhere in the world by simply turning on our cell phone or access to information in the blink of an eye, we are still tied to the past. And that is happening now more than ever.
   
   Vintage clothing, vintage sounds and past fashion items now living splendor than ever dreamed. Some say that the twenty-first century lives a passion for retro.
   
   Reasons to live in the past engaged
   
   " The past helps us to make sense of things that go too fast," says Elizabeth Guffey, author of " Retro: The culture of Revival". He adds: " Futurism which has dominated much of the popular culture of the twentieth century has died. If we think what the world in 100 years, most stayed blank. "
   
   Our grandparents did have more certainty that we and dreamed of the future held flying cars or vacations on the moon. We want the value of the new with the look of the old. Some point out that we obsess over the past because it makes us feel safe.
   
   The past is available through Internet
   
   So says the writer Simon Reynolds who has just published his book " Retromania " and in which he explores the current obsession with history and memory of our current pop culture.
   
   For Reynolds, we are saturated with so much information that we are unable to decide which version of the past (oblivious) you want to be, hence the values ​​of timelessness and eclecticism develop.
   
   And he notes, " has created a sort of competition to see who gets old things that nobody knows." This is most clear in the music industry and why not, in thousands of websites offering fashion items, makeup, appliances hooked in the past.
   
   Whatever the story, the point is that we do not know if we live in a sick retrochic or nostalgia. And you, what do you think?
