THE NEW WAY vs Old ways​

Some old is more interesting. Simple and work .
Like CNC vs manual equipment. Or fastest 8 spindle automatic screw machine upto 50 parts in minute

When look at like a new engine vs the Old engines the both do same job.
So say the internal combustion hit peck in WW2

What is your view point?

Here just some of interesting in hand navigation.

GPS vs In Hand navigation or GPS vs Astrolabe/Sextant.
One if GPS goes down back to starts works everytime anytime

VS the older way

Someone will have made or demonstrate an astrolabe... (or whatever!). Next.
Or
The use of a plumb bob and square to make a level..
5000 years ago the use light - lines of sight - From stick to stick - to make straight lines (lines of sight) when they didn't understand light and eyes and thought the eyes projected beams to see. E.g. many temples and other monuments were accurately aligned to sun, stars, etc.
Fascinating!

Thank you

I have use theodolite on dry land. Looks interesting to look at the sextant and astrolabe.

But internet on some post will totally different and others look same.

I know the will say on a rolling ship the Sextant is within 20 seconds. I this would closer to minutes. Then Navy best with a few reading can get within 3 notes.

Just think of building engines back in 1800's and 1900's using a sliderule or paper and pencil.

FYI I like when handheld calculators camd out any remember that day ?

I was talking to my son , he some old ways is more than looking at a cellphone or computer screen for reading books.

Shudder! Reading books on a tiny screen--BLASPHEMY! Makes my eyes ache just thimpfking about that. Where I work, the text on the computer screen is about 50thou tall--I cannot read it even with glasses on. So I have to go into settings and try to fix that but it whacks out all the rest of the screen stuff. So I try to ctrl-alt-del + to enlarge the text then all of everything else is enlarged. Honestly, does msux understand anything about the human condition? No, they probably have young people doing all the programming and of course, young peeps don't pay any attention to older folks.

Certain books I buy with the intention of writing in the margins and If I lend them out, insist that the reader also write in the margins, that way any future reader can see other peeps ideas, agreements, disagreements, etc. It's odd however, that some peeps thimpfk that writingt in the margins is BLASPHEMy! Yes, library books should not be written in, but sometimes I get so angry with some nonsense someone is saying in their book that I simply have no choice! So I write a sticky note and place it in the library book.

Wait till those youngsters get older--they too will not be able to read that tiny writing. My son reads on his telephone gadget all the time. Occassionaly handing it to me to read. I fumble a lot trying to enlarge the text to readable size. I have found books that are very old with someone's notes in the margins. It's always interesting to read such. (BTW, that writing was all in pencil so tends to smudge.)

It drawings in paper vs Autocad.
Paper is more relaxing but Autocad is faster and a redo is only click away.
Last year I gave away my electric eraser but work for demo I. Paper.

I use phone alot because my wife does not want me using laptop and watching TV. I use Adobe reader Liquid mode for a lot reading in front of TV too. But like Laptop nice big print or better a real book and paper.

Odd thing is, there is a lot of text on computer screen that I can enlarge, and not a much of a problem. HOwefer, there are some things, notably on msux's "letter-heads", I don't know what they are called, but they are endemic and they are NOT enlargeable without enlarging the whole screen--that is, go into the settings and enlarge the text, but it does NOT enlarge the text on these places I'm talking about. Hmmm. Sh*tty programing on msux's part. I still have diffficulty reading text that is only about 50thou tall and not enlargeable.
