First it was calculators because we couldn't use the slide rule. Then came digital clocks & watches because we didn't know how to read the hands. Then came digital scales because we couldn't figure out the little marks between the numbers that we didn't know how to read. Now there's digital tapes because we don't know what the little marks are between the numbers that we can't read. Notice a pattern here(besides my complaining)?

I don't think it's because we couldn't use the analog products. I think it's because a business (read: money-making) opportunity came up that capitalized on (see what I did there?) laziness.

Digital also happens to be more accurate than analog. Or at least it's easier to read accurately, which is the whole idea.

first we didnt have any oxygen because there wasnt an atmosphere,then it was anaerobic respiration, because we didnt know how to breathe, then it was lungs because gills werent cutting it anymore , then it was fire because the cold was a drag, then it was the wheel,even though i had no problem walking and carrying everything, but we werent allowed to do that anymore with the new fangled wheel, then it was farming, in the old days we just wandered around and we were fine! now they stay still in one place! its crazy! then it was all of the sudden this new religion, the old one was fine for me, then they changed the way we dressed, i had no problem with the animal skins but these new guys insist that the cloth they make is better,then they changed the language and made us all learn a new one, like there was anything at all wrong with the old one. then they changed the rules, and now we cant club people to death and take their stuff, i say if you cant stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen!

Increased Co2 pollutant levels have lowered IQs and made people want electric cars….

Yes, we are analog for sure. Digital has its place, but generally not in human interfaces.

I love this topic. It does remind me of some of the lyrics for that song "Everybody's Free"

"Accept certain inalienable truths
Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too, will get old
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young
Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble
And children respected their elders"
