Retro nonsense The communist corporatist globalists produce up to 25% of the world's GDP. We owe them the existence of planned obsolescence, the centralization of the "smartphone ghetto", the opiate neuromarketing addiction of social networks, and so on. As followers of Herbert Marcuse, they are busy bringing the cultural ideas of bourgeois communism into the field of technology and the exact sciences. This is, of course, absurd. But it works, at least with the brains of some people from YouTube. One example of this delusional disorder is the use of the cultural term "retro" in the field of technology. As you understand, in technology and physics in general there has never been and will never be such a thing as "retro". Why? Because the relevance of a technology is always determined by only one thing - economic feasibility and mathematical calculation. You can call a carburetor or a steam engine "retro" technology. Or, let's say, even a steam locomotive! But this is just gaslighting and manipulation. Carburetors work every day in hundreds of millions of gasoline engines of various sizes all over the world. And steam turbines rotate so that you use electricity right now reading these lines. None of these stupid-headed "retro" bloggers have ever been to a factory or a plant. The state of their critical thinking is so severe that they continue to broadcast to the whole world as if retro computers, retro operating systems and even (attention) retro processors exist. This is, of course, a special clinical disorder of the mind, and possibly of the psyche. Seeing things that do not exist is called schizophrenia. Even such a phenomenon as retro games does not really exist. It is just a marketing trick. Because copyright owners companies republish old games, just as they once republished board games or books. In other words, everything that is called "retro" today is a source of profit in the real sector of the economy. Hydraulic presses from a century ago still work and I can assure you it is still not "retro"! The term "retro" is not applicable in technology because it try to recreate the atmosphere of past eras, that is, directly aesthetics, which is not a technical thing. It is an exclusively mental projection. In other words, an obsession. Scientific and technological progress in general is based on understanding the fundamental laws of nature, as is industrial production in general, and not on the aesthetic preferences of past decades. And in general, frankly speaking, "retro" is a pure marketing ploy or artistic decision, rather than a reflection of the market and scientific approach to technology and production in general. In other words, Ohm's law for a section of a circuit cannot be "retro" just because the formula was invented a couple of hundred years ago. "Retro" exists only in your mind.
