    Tip 30: Embrace a More Analog Life

    100%

    There was actually nothing wrong with analog products, and they were only replaced so that companies could sell you more shit you don’t need.

    Not only from a privacy perspective, but analog tech is often made to last a lifetime and/or can be easily repaired compared to modern tech versions.

      Many of us did it that way in the past. I still bring a notebook to in-person meetings for handwritten notes. I only have a few smart bulbs and smart switches in the house because they are more accurate than the analog timers. There are things like digital music that make life far more convenient than records, tapes, and CDs, though. So much technology is unnecessary, though.

        I’m not a Luddite, so I enjoy technology where it makes sense.

        But I prefer low-tech things when given the option. 🤗

          That’s the great thing about it. You choose what works for you. When you don’t chase what other people think you should be using, you get more value out of what you want to be using.
