“Who wants 100 year old technology?”

With all due respect, I’ve heard that stupid line far too many times today to take it seriously.

The answer is YOU DO as long as Apple puts it in front of you.

That QWERTY keyboard you use is over 100 years old. Using a PHONE is well over 120 years old.

HEADPHONES are still run on electromagnets... also over a century old.

Battery tech runs virtually unchanged from the 19th century.

Sound recording and transmission (radio) is also about as old as the airplane.

AC and DC to charge your phones also is as well.

I want to move on to newer technology. Battery technology is so dated. I want a battery that will power my device for months without needing a recharge. I am not impressed by old technology. Except for the trusty bottle opener. The same bottle opener that cracked open a beer in pre-Prohibition 1916 opens my beer just as effectively in 2016.

All three of those have changed drastically since 100 years ago. Or do you maintain we still mechanically record sound on wax cylinders or disks? Nice try, no banana.
