Malfunctioning technology — as seen on TV!

A compilation of one of our favorite TV and movie tropes — malfunctioning technology.

A Vimeo user made a beautiful compilation of movie and TV characters beating on malfunctioning technology in order to get it to work. Marty and the DeLorean, Miles O’Brien on Star Trek, the Fonz, and even the old man from the animated movie Up. They all play a role. 

Check out the video below for the curated bunch of clips.

Percussive Maintenance from Duncan Robson on Vimeo.
