Me too old AF and don’t miss walkman or discman or digital cameras or iPod or VHS or any of that old technology.
I understand more as you move away from technology. Like I can get why others feel an attachment to vinyl record players or film photography. Anybody can understand that stuff, while a smart phone seems more like magic.
Because cassette tapes were awful, fast declining quality, tiny picture + tiny booklet if you’re lucky. Discman was awful while cycling to school, potholes causing interruptions… The mp3-player 256MB was a really cool innovation! Enjoyed that supermuch. Went through batteries FAST tho. But vinyl LPs… Is just different. It was never meant for on the road scenario and the size of the 12" sleeve just makes for a really cool collection of pictures alongside the cool collection of music. I still enjoy playing vinyl while I find it is the ultimate album experience. You get nice sleeve/context, sort of forced to listen album a to z and always dead silence in the end instead of some algorithm or autoplay making everything a never ending stream of best case ‘related’ stuff but more common the next sponsored crap being pushed on you…

I actually miss the iPod and Zune. I like having my music on another device.
