loop de loop

Do you find it interesting that sometimes we are heading backwards as we advance in technology. That we make things faster and smoother but at the same time we lose (tactile) feedback. Take sending an sms for example. Just the other day someone made a comment that texting was so much easier on an oldschool phone rather than these new touchscreen keyboards. You could secretly send a text to a friend with your phone still in your pocket (while the person talking to you is boring you to death) because you could feel for the buttons with your eyes closed.

Simple, clean, and efficient, only preserving the things we think we need. Did we choose the right things to keep?
