Intertapes is a crowdsourced online archive digitizing forgotten cassette tapes, preserving their audio, scans, and stories to capture analog history's raw essence. Amid a cassette revival driven by nostalgia and tech innovations like DNA storage, it faces copyright and quality challenges but inspires cultural and artistic exploration. This project democratizes audio preservation for global enthusiasts.
The "Worst in Show" awards at CES 2026, organized by consumer advocacy groups, critiqued problematic tech like Samsung's AI fridge, Amazon's Ring cameras, and an AI "soulmate" device for privacy invasions, environmental waste, and ethical issues. These anti-awards aim to pressure the industry toward responsible innovation.
