Austrian company Masswerk built a very compelling Google front-end: Google60.
It looks like an fictional System 362 (not a real IBM System 360 – a historical mainframe) with a not-so fictional user interface that’s straight from the 60s.
That’s exactly what characters from Mad Men would see if they were using Google… in the 60s.
Technically speaking, it’s a Flash interface to Google that resembles punched cards, right from the past.
You can use a 60s keyboard and a special control panel to enter your search keyword then… patiently waiting for a dot-matrix printer to print out your results.
Speed wasn’t an issue in the 60s.
Go and try for yourself Google60, nice jobs Masswerk!
