Old School Cool: When Vintage Beats Modern
Remember when we talked about paper menus and vinyl records are all the rage! So when we came across this article on when old is better than new – we had to share!
Some people are still holding on to old tech, like writing in journals with pencils, brainstorming on old envelopes, grilling on classic Weber grills, using appointment cards on the fridge, sending handwritten postcards, and cooking with decades-old cast iron skillets.
Below are some examples that illustrate why old technologies and practices often endure.
First, reliability: time-tested tools often prove more dependable than their modern counterparts. Second, simplicity: many old technologies are straightforward and easy to use, without the need for updates or internet connectivity. Third, sensory experience: old tech often engages our senses in ways that digital alternatives sometimes cannot. Fourth, nostalgia: using familiar objects can evoke positive memories and emotions. Fifth, durability: many older products were built to last, unlike some modern items designed with planned obsolescence in mind. Finally, disconnection: in a world of constant connectivity, old tech can offer a refreshing break from the digital realm.
So, what old tech do you still hang on to?
Is it a vintage camera, a record player, or maybe a trusty old calculator!
