60% and the last question should be modern not moder

30-40% depending on how I answered. While there’s (grudgingly) no denying the convenience and benefits that some technological advancements made possible, allowing for more efficient, practical usage (especially as far as playing music and typing are concerned)…there’ll always be something more charming and lovely about the perfectly good older versions.
And for every “advancement,” there are all the infuriating drawbacks and ways that it stinks as well. Don’t “fix” or ruin what isn’t broken. Don’t overcomplicate. Don’t keep illogically wrecking stuff so that the prior way was far preferable. (“Every day we stray further from God,” in so many little ways that add up into huge ones…)
I dunno man. I feel like an old soul who perhaps shouldn’t have been born so late (‘87) this time around. People have always said that about me too. Obviously nothing about the world has ever been perfect, but the past feels like a veritable utopia relative to the complete and utter garbage nearly everything has become. Two things have truly improved over my lifetime rather than overall nosediving, crashing, burning, and smoldering: GPS & automatic soap dispensers. B-| Where’s my jetpack, my hovercar? You can stuff this pathetic “future!” My constant mood is “nostalgic”; gimme a time machine, take me back and leave me there! Finished putting all my old film photos in order, and looking around at everyone and everything else in them confirms the accuracy of my memory—it isn’t just that I was a happy kid. It all actually was indeed so much better then.

I like real cameras better than phones, but the cost and hassle of having film developed made taking hundreds of pictures prohibitive. Nowadays though, just click away to your heart's content, and delete any that come out less than pristine.

I worked for the phone company for 31 years. Our method of communication has changed to the point I can't believe how quickly the changes took place. Gone are the days of needing an operator to place your call. Gone are the days when payphones were on almost every street corner. Gone are the days of figuring out what time of day the call was the cheapest. We now have small phones we carry everywhere and can place and receive calls virtally anywhere worldwide with the one number we have on our cell phones.

We were selling my aunt's possessions in an estate sale. I spent about 15 minutes showing a young man how a typewriter worked. He was fascinated, and bought it for $75. I doubt he was going to use it for anything practical; he probably thought it was just a cool item to own.

I remember back in the day in math class, let's say, I remember doing a math problem, and asking the teacher if we can use a calculator, and the teacher would always say, you aren't going to be carrying a calculator around with you all the time, in the future are you? And now that the future is here, the answer would be yes, it's called a smartphone.

I like a little of both but older is better!

90% similar. There's nothing wrong with newer technology, I like the internet and the big TV's. People with cell phones and those earbuds who can't stay off them & you have to listen to their conversations, good grief Charlie Brown...let it go!!! Get a life, read a book, learn to be alone & enjoy it.
Ok, I'm off my soap box.

40%. In most things, the older appeals to me most, but, really, my longing is less about things and more about the slower pace. I am 45. My generation has seen many advances in tech. It does have a certain convenience but also its distinct disadvantages. Namely, dependence upon it leaves folks lazier about the important things and yet busier on a bunch of nothing. Not to mention the entertainment was better without constantly making you cringe at blatant dirtiness. That alone is huge to me.

Huh!! I chose Elle, how'd I get here?😈

I think many of the questions could be better. No doubt tech has helped and hurt. I would love to do without the confusing info on the internet like in the 60's. Biut, would you really want your doctors treating with only 60's medicine and techniques?

I do like Cell phones with unlimited long distance and mobility. Would be so lonley like so many elder people were in the "Good old days"

60% similar. One thing I really would love to ditch is cell phones! I still have a landline phone but no one calls that number. People insist on texting me on my cell. Ugh. That's why I leave it on silent mode a lot

The old days had the better ways only on a few things. Overall I wish we'd had some of the tech in 1964 that we have now. I wish I could sit here and look at videos of my grandparents on the holidays or my grammar school teachers and classmates. My kids and grandkids will be able to do that. I wish we'd had cellphones and free long distance in the 60s and 70s. I could have spent so many more hours talking to my uncles and aunties in Texas, New York and California. I wish we had digital cameras where I could have taken hundreds of pictures of friends and family without the expense of film and developing. I'm just saying people should really think before the "good ole days". We are in the good ole days!
