About the Exhibition
The 'Replaced by the Smartphone' gallery at the Tellus Museum provides a nostalgic journey through the evolution of technology, highlighting how smartphones have transformed everyday life. The exhibit includes familiar items such as radios, beepers and watches, but also features lesser-known objects like photo albums and old credit card machines. This gallery showcases devices once essential to daily life — such as cassette players, camcorders, calculators, and checkbooks — that have been rendered obsolete by smartphones.
