from Diary 2023-04-15 Lost Technology
@piro_or: it’s impossible to keep all technology indefinitely, so what about the technology that gets lost I’m annoyed when people say “they were lost because they didn’t have value”. I think it’s actually a matter of “being displaced by lower-priced products that meet about 80% of the needs, I am very sad that future generations will deny the value of the product, even the value of “the product fulfilled the needs of the remaining 20%, needs that were fulfilled only because of that product.
