Cracks me up “the good old days” of handballing, roping and sheeting and so. As if technological advances are a bad thing.
We’ve got a guy at our place - he’s one of “the good old days” crew, believes everything in this day and age is bad, goes on about how everything was better in them days, believes satnavs should be banned for lorry drivers and you should only use the old fashioned map. Yes he has a point when it comes to one’s blindingly following it and hitting bridges, getting stuck etc. but it’s as if using technology to make your life easier is some sort of heinous crime.
I know it’s human nature and we all do it with all aspects of our life and look back thinking “it was so much better then” but I think if you invented a time machine and went back then perhaps you’d realise it wasn’t quite as good as you thought. Or that you weren’t actually thinking that at the time, it’s just the natural effect of what nostalgia does to you.
