Old Tech is the name given to the latest trend in high technology, that of reviving seemingly obsolete technology for contemporary use. The basic principle for this trend is based on the idea that existing high technology sucks hard. For example, take the iPod you're using right now. Or better yet, borrow one from a friend. Then try to hit a nail through it with a hammer. You should find that the iPod is soon reduced to tiny pieces. Try the same experiment with an Iron Duke class broad-gauge steam locomotive. In spite of being 150 years older than the iPod, you will find that you are barely able to dent it. Thus proving that old time stuff is better. (Besides, your iPod doesn't have Monkeynet capability, does it?)
