I may not use it that much, but just the fact that my barely smart phone lasts a week before recharging says that "older" technology isn't just a meaningless preference.
Modern high tech gear tends to do everything in a mediocre fashion rather than one or two things well.
I'm not sure preferring more straight forward, if older, tools should count as a quirk unless it causes negative reactions in others.
