New stuff has its benefits but it just doesn't have the character of the old stuff.

Look at the new cars for instance. They all look like inflated bubbles to me. Jelly beans on wheels. Look at the old cars. They had style, personality.

Old items make me wonder: who owned them, what was it like to live back in their day? New items may have additional features but no real personality. They don't have a story to tell.
