Quote:No se trata de una adicción a la nostalgia. Tampoco es una obsesión con la idea de que «todo se hacía mejor antes». El problema es que la estética actual de la electrónica ha tomado un camino que nos lleva directo al aburrimiento y la repetición. Aluminio, plástico, vidrio, superficies pulidas, curvas… los fabricantes insisten en que eso es lo que queremos, cuando en realidad deseamos regresar a la calidez y la atención al detalle que poseían los viejos diseños.

I totally agree. I have said many times that styling, whether it's calculators, European cars (definitely not Japanese cars), stereos, kitchen appliance, whatever, hit its peak about 1980, about the time of the HP-12C shown there, and it has been going downhill ever since. I don't like the modern swoops and swirls and efforts to somehow look "sexy" (whatever that's supposed to mean for a technical product).
