I get the idea of there being something valuable to doing stuff manually and that corporeal activities are something that engages us humans potentially more than screens. But the rest of the article - yikes. Clearly written by a boomer that believes himself to be superior just because he grew up using tools that nowadays are mostly unknown. The article is one sided, hyperbolic, unnecessarily combative and if there is a good point in it then it is mostly lost among the author's rants.
Bottom line is this: both the slide rule and CAD are tools, corporeal or not, and both serve the purpose of helping us achieve our goals. Instead of a Luddite reaction towards all things digital and a fetishization of a fucking ruler, why not use both according to the current scenario?
