I have a strong distaste for what C.S. Lewis called "chronological snobbery;" the idea that something is worthless simply because it isn't new. Age is meaningless when evaluating technology and its function. It could be 1000 years old or 10; what matters if fulfills the requirements of the relevant use-case in an acceptable manner.

  and yet we've got nailgun "nowadays" (though they're already ancient at this point too). people that actually need to drive in silly amounts of nails no longer use traditional hammers.
