Showerthought: I heard a customer at the counter say 'I just want it to look old, not be old' about their digital camera. Made me think about how we value function over form.

They wanted a digital camera to look old? That's the weirdest request I've ever heard. Why not just buy an old camera then?

@mia_fox98 misses the point. People want the vintage look without the hassle of film and broken parts. It's about the style, not the actual old tech. That customer gets it. We like things that seem real and worn but work perfectly every time. It's why everything has a "distressed" option now.
