i don't think it's tech, it's that tech stopped being something that helps you, now it's just things that control you, and it's all so shitty. being a millennial was nice. almost every new piece of tech was useful and made life easier. but i think it was around 2010ish when it all began going downhill. first, capacitative buttons, then smart everything that didn't help, just monitor you and sell your data. now so much tech is straight up hostile.

Had a similar experience when SCUBA diving recently. New pressure gauges these days are digital and I still think the analog ones are not only prettier, but also functionally more convenient. You don't need to be able to read numbers to know you're getting into the red. Maybe they have some extra feature but I didn't need it.

you don't have to buy tech devices. they sell non tech fridges dude. you can also just not use the tech in your car/tv/etc. nobody is forcing you to connect it and use it.
