Do you sometimes get frustrated by how hard it is to find a regular old incandescent light bulb these days? Do your fingers itch for a big ol’ paper map when you’re lost and looking to get found again? Do you miss phones that hang on the wall and don’t drop your calls? Hand-written letters sent through the mail? Cars with reliable crank windows and built-in cigarette lighters? A a good-ol’ manual typewriter — no computer training necessary? Technological progress has kicked a lot of familiar and dependable items to the curb. If you find yourself occasionally hankering for some of those things, we’d like to hear about it.
