I like a lot of things about modern-ish computers, hardware, and global connectivity, but there is so much lazy slop being produced as "innovation."

@gwynnion In so many ways it's generally the best thing to have a first iteration copy of any new tech

It'll be overpriced for the time but also over engineered. My Sony professional from the early '90s still works

Gives amazing analog sound

Just advice from a musical coach of mine that applies everywhere.

@voxofgod @gwynnion There is also the factor of bespoke tech vs commercial. Overengineering is awesome, but not consumer friendly.

I like to look back at old tech and ponder how they made things work with so little. I often think about something i heard once: "Creativity is impossible without limitations"

@gwynnion that sums up the feeling pretty much, for me. I never could be so clearer, I think

@gwynnion limitations breed creativity. Having unlimited resources makes for sloppy uncreative work.
