Hey old farts, no hate, but the reason kids these days don't know how to use old technology is because it's not practical anymore. We've simple moved on to better things as a society and no longer need to bang rocks together to make fire. Now this progressions may not be in all cases good, since it has, in part, atomized our society and divided us against ourselves, but don't pretend like spin dials were the peak of ergonomic design. Sometimes you gotta admit that just because you grew up with it, doesn't mean it was better than what we have today.

Have you used a volume knob, an ipod, bmw idrive or its clones? Spin dials still are the peak of ergonomic design...

Removal of physical dials in cars is one really good example of progress in tech causing worse design for the sake of cost savings and aesthetics.

Yeah cars have been victim to a bunch of over modernizations, I'll say that, otherwise though I'm generally just trying to say the mentality of "these kids can't use a ____" is kind of nonsensical.

Agreed ๐Ÿ˜… I was only refuting the sub point about knobs, as thats a pet peeve of mine ๐Ÿ˜…

This is the example I use to remind myself that not all progress is forward, but it's still progress.
