    I am very much a child of the 80s. A time when hair styles were wild, politics were bleak, and when the world started to become absolutely enamoured with computers. Spearheaded by a boom in special effects that produced legendary films like The Empire Strikes Back and Bladerunner, sci-fi ruled the decade, and with home…
