Reminiscing Old Technology
I'm 29 & I love Cassettes, VHS tapes, old stereos, floppy disks, CDs, you name it. Despite being born in the early 90s, I really find more solace in old technology than the new, modern technologies. Maybe because it's different, maybe because being into it makes me feel like a hipster lol, maybe it's the simplicity of it or just the fact that I don't enjoy life in the present so I'm looking for a way to mentally "teleport" to old times, so old that I haven't even experienced them myself. It's really weird because no one I know feels the same way I do.
For instance, I still use CDs regularly, and I've kept an older PC in the house just because it has an optical drive and I can play CDs on it. I have Windows 3.11 & XP for Workgroups installed in Virtualbox and I find myself toying with it regularly sometimes.
I just love the vibe it gives me, sometimes I just start it up so I can play Solitaire, doodle some sketch in Paint.
I cannot explain exactly why I feel like this, it just makes me feel like I've escaped in a different world. Modern technology doesn't make me feel that way. In fact, I feel like it's starting to stress me more often. ??
