Typewriters have given way to keyboards. Acoustic has given way to Electric. Watches with hands have lost out to digital watches. Talking on a phone has given way to Texting, and with it we lost the personal touch. It seems as though with every bit of ourselves we give up to a machine, that little bit of self is a part we'll never see again.
Now far be it for me to say that electronics are not good, great, miraculous things. I'm writing this on a computer for one. But it seems we've lost the class, the style, the ambiance of the past decades in favor of widgets, downloadable content and whatever else we can fit into a pocket sized portable deus ex machina.
