I got a new car a couple years ago. I purposefully bought the end of the model year before a major refresh, because the new model was going to add a giant touch screen with more touch-control. I didn’t want that. I ditched the smart watch and went back to mechanical and quartz watches that just tell the time. I still don’t really get most of the smart home stuff. My dad is really into it, and it all seems so annoying. He can’t even unlock his front door without using his phone, or he’ll have to recalibrate the lock. I think there is a lot of value in tactile controls and feedback, and so much of that has been stripped out of our lives. I try to hang onto it and get it back where I can. The same goes for purely mechanical devices that work today and will work in 100 years. Those are the best. I’m also so tired of charging stuff. As well as tired of buying products that turn into e-waste when the battery loses its ability to hold a change. It seems like user-replaceable batteries should be a hard requirement on everything.
