I’ve never been that impressed by advanced technology or current inventions.
- I was raised by a family of outdated school people who lived in the rural countryside, as well as worked on farms for generations.
The rule was if something wasn’t broken, you do not update it. Instead, you find a way to repair it, as well as if you can’t, only then do you buy something current to update something old. This was their mindset especially with tractors. Nowadays tractors are built with PCs inside of them much like automobiles as well as the companies that manufacture them want all of the service work to be done by their own corporation’s techs. They do not want you working on your own device or modifying it. This further removes the freedom that you would normally have being a farmer in this country, then you’re completely tied to whatever contractor that you use for your heavy equipment. However, I will make an exception about technology when it comes to things like space furnaces for instance, and recently, I discovered that there are these infrared style space furnaces that are made to look like actual fireplaces. They have the visual effect down as well as everything as well as they give nice amazing heat in a circular pattern all the way around the base of the machine. These space furnaces are periodically $100 or even $200, but they are severely effective for giant areas. And people feel it’s a real fireplace. They really asked me if I have a gas fireplace or if it’s a wood fireplace. That’s when I have to tell them that it’s just a costly space heater.
