Retrograde

Retrograde. It's what you do when your culture abandons ideas like using high quality materials, building things to last and designing for the user. It's an antidote to a world of consumerism and throw-away products. It's a word I hope to add to your lexicon today.

Retrograde (verb) - To dispense with a modern technology in favour of an older, more suitable one. "Check it out dude, I retrograded my bluetooth speakers to this dope ghetto blaster!"

    The bell might be fixable, I just need to look at it for a few minutes to see how it is supposed to work.

    Electric typewriters use a motor to mechanically assist the keystrokes, sort of like power steering in a car.

    Electronic typewriters use a computer keyboard to digitize your text and print it out as you go.
