Today, 100 music and all world music are featured in a mobile phone.
Now the Blekinge Museum celebrates digital childhood.
And then with heavy mobile phones at forgotten game consoles.

Jonas Eckerbom, Christoffer Sandahl and Morgan Olsson are ready for a different exhibition at the Blekinge Museum – "Digital Memories", about the techniques of reverse engineering.
On Sunday, the Blekinge Museum hopes that a new generation will find the Rosenholm Artifacts Magazine. Then open doors again, this time on the theme: "Digital memories – retrotechniques". So is yours, as many people in their forties today can understand, but it seems mysterious or rather surreal for children today.
But in reality, retriever technology in general and retrospective in particular have become quite important in recent years. The driving force behind this growing interest is probably the nerds themselves. Those who were waiting for the download of Commodore 64 games then learned how to program and work for IT companies in Sweden. Now they have grown up, but it is never possible to soothe all those passionate.
"Nörden has now acquired a status," said Christoffer Sandahl, head of collections at the Blekinge Museum.
"In the 70s and 80s, the nerd was as beautiful as today, but today it is cool to be a nerd." And we like that as working In a museum, here we think we are going down in the past.
He received the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) as a Christmas present as a child. And then a whole new world is open.
"It was mostly the one I was playing, even though I played with friends on their Ataric and Commodore 64 consoles. As for the re-engineering, it was not easy to find all the gadgets for this show. It is not easy to find a television today.

Different variants of Nintedo game consoles, which dominated the video game market in the 1980s.
The collectors market is huge nowadays, especially for retro games. This means that they recover the remaining gadgets and that they have not been thrown away for a long time, that they end up at the market and not at the museum. The prizes are won and among the most sought after are the Nintendo NES "Stadium Events" game of 1987. It was released in 200 copies, of which only a few copies remain. It is estimated at 300,000 crowns according to his condition.
This is just an example of how much the collectors market and therefore also the interest in retro games have become. As a result, the Blekinge Museum hopes to meet new target groups on Sunday in Rosenholm.
"It gives us a lot of nostalgia and we hope that the parents will take their children and come here and lower the threshold to visit us." There is always prejudice about what is the purpose of the museum and no, but we try to follow today, "said Christoffer Sandahl.
Because he collects things all the time. At the same time, there will soon be past and history.
– An example is the guy who came with a skateboard at the Natural History Museum in Stockholm. "You give it to me," he said, and the staff took white gloves and took the boy's skateboard. There was a story behind the object, which is still important.
Colorcore VM-11, produced by Videomaster, is among the exhibitors of Sunday's exhibition. The game console, which included football, tennis and squash games, was one of the first to offer color schemes for the domestic market and became one of the best sellers. However, few have found Blekinge, but the console is over in front of a family in Spjutsbygd.
"It was given by a father who told me that both sons loved to play with." The girl was not so interested, says Christoffer Sandahl.

Mobile phones were a little bigger sooner. Note the battery under the Motorola phone. He weighed like bricks and survived a few hours, then he was charged for a day.
He believes, however, that Jonas Eckerbom and Morgan Olsson, who also work at the Blekinge Museum, are the driving forces behind the "Digital Memory" exhibition.
"We are interested in this and Morgan is in a way a collector," says Jonas Eckerbom, who contributes with his own ZX Spectrum +. Popular home computer became competitor of Commodore 64 (C64) in the 80s.
The C64, or VIC64, as it was also called, was the big dragon, sold in total at 17 million copies. Which makes it the best-selling computer through the ages. In 1983 and 1984, VIC64 accounted for 40% of the personal computer market, largely due to sales in all department stores and toy stores.
– Fredrik Åberg from Karlskrona collects the Commodore 64 and will tell more about this computer at two conferences on Sunday. I hope we will have chairs for everyone, but otherwise, it will stay in the afternoons and we will re-read, says Christoffer Sandahl.
And yes, there is also the possibility of playing old classics. Jonas Eckerbom and Morgan Olsson have turned a play into a match hole. There is everything from an Amiga 500 to the first generation Xbox.
"But it will not be just a game. We also have cell phones, music players and digital cameras from a bygone digital showcase.
