Do you think there will be a low tech revival where people start to use analogue computers simply because of digital fatigue?
>>16793092no you get a bunch of retards overpaying for old crts instead, enjoy
>>16793092until we get more of a craftman stuff to tecnonolofy I see it unlikely , that being said I do recommend it
>>16793092>Do you think there will be a low tech revival where people start to use analogue computers simply because of digital fatigue?What are you gonna do with an analog computer? Play pong? Simulate missile trajectories?
>>16793092Yes, but for other reasons not mentioned
>>16793302>humans put a man on the moon using analogue computers>wtf are you gonna do with analogue computers
>>16793379>>what are you gonna do with an analog computer>we put a heckin' put a person on the moon!!>>ok, but what are you personally gonna do with one>we can do loads of things!!

>>16793092That's not how it works, anon. First of all, I don't think people know what analog computers are.Second, you cure digital fatigue by doing good manual work (interfacing with natural materials), not looking at screens and having pleasant face-on-face conversations.
>>16793092The closest you can get is the rocket scientist larp with thick rimmed glasses, pocket protector, slide rules, and blackboard.

>>16793092I don't agree with the "low tech" way of putting it since stuff like photonic research and development, as well as neuromorphic engineering, exist and don't seem "low tech" to me, but this Youtube video by Veritasium comes to mind:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVsUOuSjvcg
>>16793092what the fuck is an "analog computer"? all computers are digital computers, even back in the 1930s they still used bytes and boolean logic
>>16793792>what the fuck is an "analog computer"?Computers that process analog signals without using 1s and 0s. For instance a lense focusing a beam of light images it into the fourier transform, and many differential equations can be solved with simple RLC circuits.
>>16793792>what the fuck is an "analog computer"?Everything is a fucking analogy computer. Take a physical process and dream up some computation it's analogous to. You just created an analogue computer. :^)
>>16793792>retard thinks 19 century computers are digital>Babagge massive calculator>Programable manual calculators>Antikara greek ancient computer>Calculus programable rules>Children toys to learn to multiply>The infamous miracle chess robot>Navigational analogue 16-18 century computers
>>16794234Protip: 19xx is 20th centuryVacuum tubes used for calculations is already a digital computer. That's dated to 1950s.
