    People should be more aware that appeal to making you feel old or antiquated is one of the main strategies from corporations to push their products into you.

    No, you’re not antiquated. Just be yourself and do things the way you like to do, not the way corporations want to force you into. No one should judge you, and if they do, they’re wrong for judging others for their way to do things. Don’t fall for that trap

      If building from wood is not antiquated, then surely local hardware isn’t.

      But their power is built on function fulfilled, and unless there is an alternative, they are the future.
