Podcast: Would You Go Back to a Time Before #Smartphones If You Could?
Turns out, looking back is also about looking forward.
By Julie Beck and Natalie Brennan, July 27, 2026
"Back in the ’90s, before everyone had a #smartphone, were things just … better? Tech-focused #nostalgia has become a potent cultural force in recent years, driving sales of '#dumbphones,' #iPods, #CDs, and other #RetroTechnology. According to a 2023 survey, 67 percent of Americans wish they could go back to a time 'before everyone was ‘plugged in.’ '
"The psychologist behind that survey, Clay Routledge, has found that this sort of nostalgia is more than just a yearning to go backwards. 'We can often feel overwhelmed in the moment and in the challenges we face today. It's hard to see past them. #Nostalgia can help us step outside of that moment,' Routledge explains. Nostalgia can actually teach us how we want to live now, and in the future."

Oh, look! Another "ultimate" web framework 🙄. The creator of #Primate wants you to believe they've revolutionized the wheel by doing, uh, basically what #PHP frameworks did back when dial-up was cool 📞. But hey, it's 2026, so maybe this is just retro #nostalgia in disguise 🤷♂️.

Ah, behold the 1983 Northern Telecom Commodore Phone: a relic from when "innovation" meant adding a curly cord. 📞🔄 Dive into a sea of buzzwords like "prototypes" and "limited editions," because nothing screams cutting-edge technology like a plastic rotary dial. 🤦♂️✨

📰 Commodore's new "digital detox" phone is here to save us from the vile clutches of tech addiction... by being slightly less dumb than a potato. 🤖 The #irony of a company named after a discontinued '80s computer making a "modern" device is almost as delightful as a fish riding a bicycle. 🚴♂️🐟

Clash Of Technology
Having mobile touch screen phones and wifi is a nice thing...but nothing will ever beat the classics. Physical media will never go out of style.

This is a key I still know by heart
The reason is simple
I have installed many thousands of times on machines of many thousands of people trapped in the microSlop environment
