<br/><br/> The author explores deep connection to analog technology, arguing that nostalgia for the "realness" of analog is a result of the loss of something from technological past. The author discusses major developments in analog technology, such as the silent film The Artist, non-e-book books, mechanical clocks, and the programmable loom. The author warns that the transition to digital has downgraded human participation in the human-technology relationship, leading to a nostalgia for the ancient aspects of who we are.
