I've noticed an interesting trend lately: interest in old tech products is growing among young people. MP3 players, cassette players, even retro gaming consoles are making a comeback. Actually, this isn't just specific to Turkey; there's a similar global trend. While older generations reminisce about "the good old days," younger people are finding these products "so interesting" and starting to use them. Do you think this interest is just about nostalgia, or are there other factors at play? Could things like stress reduction, digital detox, or something else be contributing to this?

I think the main reason young people gravitate toward old tech is to combat digital stress. Last year I got fed up with my LG Gram laptop and the constant barrage of notifications, so I went back to my original iPod Classic that’s been sitting next to me for years. When I spend my free time just listening to music and not loading anything else, I actually feel more relaxed and my concentration improves. I’m no longer worrying about “Did I miss that message?”—I’m just enjoying the music. Plus, the simple interfaces of these old devices let you use them straightforwardly without dealing with the complexity of modern gadgets, which is a huge bonus.
