An interesting new trend according to Designboom<\/a> is the return to low-tech <\/a>equipment:<\/p>\n

“As technology evolves, new innovations are constantly replacing old ones. this cycle is repeated over and
\nover until old technologies are almost completely forgotten. whether this is good or bad is really in the\u00c2\u00a0
\neyes of the beholder, but the pace of technological innovation is unavoidable. in the past this technology
\nturnaround was slow and measured, but it has been steadily increasing to a rapid clip today. so fast in fact,
\nthat many of us have trouble keeping up.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

in spite of these hurried times, some of choose to stick with what we know or look back in history.\u00c2\u00a0
\nrather than listening to music on an mp3 player, some choose to listen to lp records and rather than design\u00c2\u00a0
\na poster using the latest computer software, some choose to use an antique letterpress. this burgeoning\u00c2\u00a0
\ntrend of anti-digital activity can perhaps be attributed to a form of technology nostalgia but there is clearly
\nsomething more. for starters, many of the people turning to retro-tech weren\u2019t even born when these
\noriginal products were around. there is something else at work, perhaps something is missing from the
\nfuture-forward disposable technology of today? with each new generation of technology we lose\u00c2\u00a0
\nsomething from the past, the comforting sound of the needle on vinyl or just getting our hands dirty\u00c2\u00a0
\ninstead of messing around with a mouse.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

high technology may be the zeitgeist of today, but every trend has its adversary. today this adversary takes
\nthe form of vinyl records, film cameras, typewriters and other relics form the past. perhaps we seek comfort
\nin the familiar or just need a break from our digital lifestyles. no matter what the reason, there is a clear
\nmovement at work that can be seen throughout contemporary culture. looking into the future, the products
\nand tools we use today may soon be added to this list of antiquated technology, awaiting a resurgence of
\nthere own.”\"\"<\/p>\n

Personally, I enjoy using some of these old analogue synths, such as the fantastic Korg Ms20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
