I've increasingly tended to notice over the last several years, many instances in which old technologies are superior to new technologies.
A few weeks ago, I posted Pandora vs. Spotify vs. Tidal, et al , which was really a thread about the reasons why I'd come to prefer radio over YouTube and various streaming/paid music services. Several others and myself also posted about our preferences for older vehicles in the Your Fantasy Car thread.
One thing I had come to notice recently, is the convenience of how my microwave is dial operated. There's one dial for time, and another for heat settings (warm, defrost, low, medium, high).
What's great about this design is that I can dynamically alter the cooking temperature just by turning a dial. As far as I know, with a digital microwave, once you punch in your settings, it's locked in. To change from high to low on a digital microwave, you'd have to cancel and punch in the cook time and heat options all over again.
Anybody else have experiences in which they find older technologies to be better in fulfilling their needs than new technologies?
