Replacing stable, working "low-tech" solutions with less user-friendly, unstable "high-tech" approaches is not "progress"!

Just because something is newer doesn't mean it's better. Obviously, the reverse is also true, but there is so much tech naiveté going around that this needs saying repeatedly. We'd have saved our society a lot of trouble if we'd first thought about draw-backs of new technology, before hooking everything in our lives up to it.
