Is this really it?


Is this really it? The last vestige of analog?

I don't dismiss the new mediums or media. How could I? I would not be 'posting' this if it wasn't for the digital age. But the question remains (at least in my head), are we missing something? Analog presents a tactile world. Does digital? I mean...we can't dismiss new technology it for the simple reason that it's allowed countless number of people to learn, grow, do things they couldn't dream of before. No we don't indulge in vinyl anymore (with the exception of a few of those who keep it alive, who refuse to settle for compressed quality). I miss hiss, crackle, pop of vinyl, held in my hand, it wasn't perfect but it felt real good.

This isn't about bashing the new technologies, it's not fair and not right to do so. Like i said, it makes this 'post' possible.

I just miss the old stuff.

Let me know if you miss it too.
