The åæä½ē”ć instinct among smolnetters to wanna fully use old stuff like email, usenet, gopher, IRC, typewriters, old phones, PDAs, C64s, S-expressions, calligraphy, telnetā¦ I feel it too. Strongly. Thatās absolutely an aesthetic pull I share. I donāt always give in to it, because some things really donāt make sense, but I often do.
Part nostalgia and part sustainability and part trying to make the world less broken by looking at the highlights of the past. Itās often not rational, which Iām trying to cultivate an awareness of. But itās just one more thinking hat that De Bono missed. The nostalgia beret. It can sometimes come up with some great solutions.
