Analogue gave way to digital. It was large, bulky, superfluous... digital is small. Clean. Precise. Too precise. Suddenly everything is so very finite, and the superfluous from the analogue is missed... so don't define so precisely. Define the analogue in digital terms, but vaguely. Not how it is, but how to make it... and suddenly it is as if the infinite lives once more. Analogue lives once more.

I grew up around people in the overlapping circles of 'enough money to afford a pool' and 'not enough money to afford a slope that requires math, as a flat bottom just requires Jim-Bob's tractor'.
