    It started with me opting not to keep smart lights when I moved. I found the routine of pressing physical switches more rewarding than the tap of a touch screen. I've since gotten into vinyl, and film photography. I still stream music, and I still take photos with my iPhone when it's more convenient, but I find the physicality of analog devices uniquely rewarding.

      @Gargron From that, I think you would enjoy learning to play a musical instrument.

      @Gargron Thus you decided to develop analog social media? :-)

      @Gargron +1 I hit peak digital a while back and now my goal is to do as much as possible in the analog world without terribly inconveniencing myself.

      Our car has a key fob which the car senses when you get close and it lets you open the doors, start the engine etc. Except that the battery runs down every two months (or so it feels) and I'm constantly carrying the cognitive load of "must replace battery". So I've mostly gone back to using the physical key, which works at all times.

      @sepfeiffer I feel like TVs are the biggest offenders in this category. I went the far more expensive projector route just to avoid getting a smart TV.

      @Gargron I’m moving. It has been very difficult to find “unsmart” appliances. I don’t want a Wifi oven.

      How many people will never know the pure satisfaction of slamming an old phone onto its cradle to angrily hang up?

      @Gargron I totally get it. There's something about the physicality of analog devices that makes them more engaging & satisfying to use. There's a tactile feedback that you just don't get with digital devices. & there's also a sense of connection to the past that analog devices can offer.

      I'm glad you're finding joy in vinyl and film photography. Those are two great hobbies that can be really rewarding. And who knows, maybe you'll even find yourself collecting other analog devices in the future.

      @Gargron I grew up with all that technology; there were no digital options at all. I even developed my own photos (B&W only) in high school. CDs arrived when I was in my mid-20s. I guess I'm on the other side—I don't miss analog tech at all. But everyone's different and enjoys different things.

      @Gargron Back in the day I loved photographing events with my fully manual OM-1. No auto-focus, just set it for a given focal length and look for shots within that distance. Fun

      @Gargron That's a totally understandable perspective. Though being able to flip lights on/off is just one off the aspecta, right? Eg, automatically adjusting light brightness and color temperature per circadian cycle was a game-changer for me (haven't had an insomnia ever since then). Or being able to play light show to accompany a vinyl record for a stronger mood. I think one doesn't need to think about it as though you only can get "either", as you can actually have both.
