I've already quizzed you on the geeky first season of the amazing show Mad Men, and one of the questions was regarding one of my favorite early quotes by Don Draper about how he had no "magical machine that could make copies."
But, lo and behold, at the beginning of the second season, his foreshadowing scoff becomes a reality, and the office of Sterling Cooper gets a copy machine. Watch the flabbergasted expressions of the ladies of the office in response to the behemoth marvel of technology!

I've already brought up the vintage geek explosion of AMC's Mad Men; now I want to see how much of the geekery you remember from season one. Wonderful and old-fashioned, the characters of Mad Men are just beginning a love affair with gadgets that has given way to today's obsession. See how well you do on the tech quiz for the first season!

You wouldn't think that geeksugar would have much to say about AMC's runaway hit Mad Men, set in the early 1960s — but you'd be totally, utterly wrong.
The retro-era show is actually rife with geekery — vintage geekery that is. Not only is it a rare look into how the times were for health, the sexes, minorities, and business, we also get to see the infiltration of technology into the home and the workplace.

“Technology changes fast, ladies. Who knows what kind of silly contraptions the boys are going to come up with next. If faced with something you don’t understand, don’t be afraid to ask one of the copy writers for help.
