Not just chip collecting but every other aspect of life. Just look at the "new" cars. They all look like they came out of the same mold with just a little difference in the hardware. Communication may be much faster with all the electronic gadgets but do we really need to be connected to everyone we know 24-7? OK. Maybe we do. And mayb we live a much easier life now but is that good? Our parents didn't have memberships in gyms because they did enough manual labor taking care of their familys and earning a living that they didn't need additional exercise.
Well that's enough complaining. Don't think I want to ge backto the old ways but glad I lived thru the 50's and 60's, etc. etc.Those were some great times.
