What is advancement for you is not for me. Mobile phones for example are a total loss. Piece of trash with 2-3 years of life that makes people addicted. Advancement in what direction. I was one of the first to have a mobile in the 90's and I am one of the first to reclaim the right to go around without a phone claiming back the right to be out of reach. At the same time I am just buying 80's and 90's tech that I can repair and will last other 40 years at least.
