I can’t quite place my finger on it but there is something human about analog gauges that I find missing from their digital alternatives.

Same with tactile controls such as knobs and switches, a touchscreen doesn’t give the same satisfactory feedback even if it does do the same job.

Ultimately, I think it all comes down to longevity. I have seen 130 year old analogue dials still in use, I don’t think their digital counterparts will fair as well.

I’ve realised I have a headache, it’s hot and I’m dehydrated. Probably not helping my ability to concentrate.

Now, where did my water bottle go?
