Anyone notice how everything technological is chrome (or fake stainless steel) and black nowadays? Cordless phones, cell phones, cameras, refrigerators, plug in coffee urns, dishwashers, ovens, microwaves, electric mixers, laptops, TVs, VCRs, just to name a few.
I don't know why it bothers me; when given a choice between an old black camera and a new chrome one, I definitely prefer the new look. I guess I just have the nagging feeling that we are updating the look of everything just to have it become passe again in a few years. Remember our parents' puke green EVERYTHING from the 70's?
