Often we are missing something in that we don't need to change what we use quite so regularly. We can learn to enjoy tech of the past and still find it useful today. It would both be better for the planet and satisfy our realisation that constant upgrades and changes aren't always needed or even better.

Does a Canon S90 suddenly take bad photos or take photos that can't be printed? No, of course not, and that's a decade old.

Can you still write on a Thinkpad X201? Yes of course. If anything, that keyboard is far better.
