The purpose of technology is to make our lives easier.
The easier something becomes, the less value it has. It's not just nostalgia, old tech and less automation gave people purpose.

The sun just appearing every day at the exact same place at the exact same time makes me think we are living in a simulation and there are objects like the sun that are programmed to behave in that certain way. Not matter how much orbital propaganda is out there, I will choose to take the red pill and wake up.

It appears at a slightly different place at a slightly different time every single day as the season moves on, there is a reason why days are longer in summer and shorter in winter. Not a simulation but you truly are a NPC

If you can have a clay pot made by hand for $20 or 1000 pots via machine for $2 then the value of the pot and the value in production of a pot has gone down.
