I'm speaking, more of tradition or invention. Specifically like cursive for example. More recent.

What would you response be if I said: I prefer answering telephone calls from a desktop telephone handset, not a smartphone. I've setup a voip number, run a pbx, and use an ATA adapter because land-lines are so painfully expensive.

Or I used a rolodex at a previous job to get and write phone numbers in? It works great, east and always there. I had to remember to dial the area code because many of the lines (that were still in use) didn't have area codes when written down.

I mean.. you do you, but I don't want to live around these older technologies. It's good nostalgia but they werent any good.

That's my point right? Some technology didn't need to evolve, in comparison, maybe the technology itself was actually good. Sometimes the tradeoffs aren't worth it. Now if I want to handle phone calls, I have to keep a device charged daily and purchase a new one every 2 years or risk it becoming, slow, obsolete, and insecure. My desktop telephone from 2001, stills works as it did when it was new, didn't end up in a landfill, didn't require "exotic" precious metals, doesn't get less usable, doesn't consume any more power (for me) etc. It doesn't track everything I do, everywhere I go. At worse someone tapped my phone call.

They were made to last and good enough for their goal. Most of the new tech just made people weak and alone. It will be probably totally rejected by the new generations. Privacy is gone, slow living is gone, social gathering is gone. The only good side of new technologies is that they are not made to last. My 80's CB radio will work in 2100 but your phone will be gone on 2027.
