Poll: Were we better off with old-fashioned stuff?
We want to know how you feel!
You hear it all over. "The good old days" this. "The good old days" that. Well, let's talk about those good old days.
It's time for a trip down memory lane. But, leave your rose-tinted glasses at home. We're going to take a critical look at some old-fashioned stuff to determine whether it's better now or then!
Some stuff? It was definitely better then. You can't argue with craftsmanship! But other times, stuff is better now. We have so much convenience these days. That's got to be worth something, right?
Take this poll, and let us know. Do you think we were better off with these "back in the day" items?

And for every “advancement,” there are all the infuriating drawbacks and ways that it stinks as well. Don’t “fix” or ruin what isn’t broken. Don’t overcomplicate. Don’t keep illogically wrecking stuff so that the prior way was far preferable. (“Every day we stray further from God,” in so many little ways that add up into huge ones…)
I dunno man. I feel like an old soul who perhaps shouldn’t have been born so late (‘87) this time around. People have always said that about me too. Obviously nothing about the world has ever been perfect, but the past feels like a veritable utopia relative to the complete and utter garbage nearly everything has become. Two things have truly improved over my lifetime rather than overall nosediving, crashing, burning, and smoldering: GPS & automatic soap dispensers. B-| Where’s my jetpack, my hovercar? You can stuff this pathetic “future!” My constant mood is “nostalgic”; gimme a time machine, take me back and leave me there! Finished putting all my old film photos in order, and looking around at everyone and everything else in them confirms the accuracy of my memory—it isn’t just that I was a happy kid. It all actually was indeed so much better then.
Ok, I'm off my soap box.
I do like Cell phones with unlimited long distance and mobility. Would be so lonley like so many elder people were in the "Good old days"
