I've been leaning to more analog (and "old") stuff these days. Not sure if it's because I'm tired of all the crap online, or its a coincidence of getting older and missing the old times. Maybe a bit of both. But I really enjoy sitting in my living room and do nothing except listen to my record and cd player.
- CalRobert 5mo agoI feel a little like a rebel every time I pay with cash. Funny that cd's are comparatively analog. (I get your meaning though).
- nunodonato 5mo agoYeah, that's true, they are digital, but still feel "old". I was quite amazed while playing a vinyl record, accidentally lowered the volume down to 0, and could still literally hear a bit of sound coming out, not from the speakers, from the needle touching the record. Then I remembered that it's the actual sound waves that are engraved in the record. Amazing stuff
- CalRobert 5mo agoI was blown away when I made a crystal radio and could hear (barely) the station with no power source but the radio signal itself! Digital broadcast makes this impossible, alas.
- noufalibrahim 5mo agoIt's nice to have analog/real world hobbies to reset. My kids and I have picked up whittling. A few blocks of wood, a sharp knife, some sheets of sandpaper and time just slows down. Many others too. It's nice to be completely offline for an extended period of time.
