New technology built to mimic old

The video from The Vaccines uses Instagram to fill the video with pictures from fans. The video looks like it was shot in the 70's.(If you can't view the above, here's the link - http://youtu.be/5tr5ptnUoDE)Can you just imagine 150 years from now when someone, some thing, some alien discovers the above video and then discovers pictures taken on a polaroid camera from the 60s and 70s. They will think that we have lost our minds.In actual fact, I kind of think we've lost our minds a bit too. Many of us (myself included) are using new technological advancements to do old things. Instagram photos are made to look older. Why are we not trying to push the envelope a bit and use Instagram to, I don't know, do something new with photographs?Just a thought, technology should push us forward and we should learn in an iterative fashion from the past, hold on to what is good and create.I love Instagram photographs and PicPlz (the Android version) but get this embarrassing thought in my head when I picture future generations discovering some our era's "advancements".
