I'm a fan of all things digital-- high-definition, wireless, and immediate with their perfect ones and zeroes-- but nooks and crannies of my life will forever remain analog.
?
Take the tire pressure gauge that resides in my glove box. It's a 20 year-old VDO piece that's doubtlessly less accurate than a modern digital gauge that delivers readings down to a 1/10th of a PSI-- and yet, I can't do away with its orange on black design, the way the small metal reset button feels under my thumb, and its solid cylindrical metal construction. Put simply, it's a joy to use such a basic, honest tool, even if it doesn't do its job with absolute accuracy.
?
Some day it will break or fail, and perhaps then I'll move onto a cheap and effective digital gauge. But until that day, my trusty old tire gauge will remind me of those tactile, yet intangible, joys of analog.
