Nostalgia is the word that comes to my mind when I read about old days fading away. The world is a changing place, and we human beings have adapted and survived. Some things never change, but others just disappear.

I don't keep any photos of my coffee makers; I keep very few photos of those times, actually, for the reasons you mention, I think. I had them (my coffee makers) in their boxes, waiting to be exhibited on a nice shelf in my new home, but that never happened, and I don't feel like collecting stuff anymore, at least for the moment.

Humanity has optimized some things to the limit, and changing them further can only make them worse, lol.

Like plastic surgery, my dear friend 🤭
