Analogue gifts are for the old-school person in your life. You know, the one who refuses to make a Twitter account and barely ever goes on Facebook?
This anti-digital grump will surely appreciate these technology-free analogue gifts. From wooden calculators to Twitter Post-Its, your old-school buddy will be bursting with joy.
Implications - Social media addiction is becoming a widely recognized disease that ironically hinders consumers' social skills while still enabling them to communicate on a world-wide level. The backlash has resulted in extremely old-fashioned products that are refreshingly simple, yet still entertaining. This development is responsible for the wave of retro-revival products that have hit various markets from technology to fashion, making old-school technology a romantic novelty to be enjoyed for humor.
