Things You Don’t Need to Upgrade

Sometimes I find it hard to keep up with technology these days. It’s super awesome that companies are dedicating themselves to make things better, faster, prettier, and more usable. But it’s a little sad when you buy the latest thing and then 3 months later, it’s already old because they released something even better, 2x faster, 4x shinier, and 4% thinner!

There’s always so much attention on latest phones, computers, tablets, cameras, consoles, software, vacuum cleaners… I wanted to give a second to shine some light on the things I haven’t had upgrade in the last 10+ years. Thanks you objects, you’ve remained pretty much the same after all these years. I appreciate how I don’t have to justify spending money a newer version of yourself even if you still work perfectly, or wait in line and be disappointed when your newer self is sold out.

    And the good old, dependable, economical, eco-friendly, hard-working CLOTHESLINE! Certainly there are various styles and models of the clothesline and indoor clothes racks, but whatever one you have is just fine!

    Lol, not sure about calculators, especially graphing calcs…

  • Hmmm

    Does this mean that I get to keep my wind-up alarm clock?

    The bicycle is a pretty good piece of engineering design that only benefits marginally from improvements in materials.
