Do you prefer antique or modern things?
For example, a juke box or i pod? Old cars or new cars?
Photo albums or digital photo frames?
You get the gist  |

I spend a fortune on vinyl, but love a download code so I can play it in the car and find so much new stuff on Spotify. I could live without the analogue stuff, but I'm old fashioned... |

I like classic cars because cars these days all look the same.
i like old things, or stuff that looks old.
some of our furniture is antique and some is modern. |

It depends.
I don't like wood or anything chintzy, as I prefer the architectural look of glass, chrome, stainless steel, leather and granite etc...
I only like old things if I know their provenance.

"But what about an Eames Vitra chair?? Classic and modern, using wood and leather - don't tell me you don't want one?! "
.
Does not do much for me.
I prefer the designs of Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

I love a mix of old and new, I would love to show my daughter the little suitcase record player that i treasured when i was about 10, but even if i got hold of one i don't have the singles on vinyl anymore (shame) lol. Now we are taking about a child that said to me one day pointing to phone box and said "Mum have you ever used one of those".... How times have changed...   |

I tend to mix and view both Modern and Old as necessary requirements and evils too.
Yes, modern items have their place; I'm not a gadget geek as some people have become and feel that some manufacturers or companies have gone overboard, but that is to satisfy consumer greed and demand I suppose!
Though I wouldn't be without my PC, I shun Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites - absolute waste of time in my view and they kill communication in the traditional sense of the word.
I yearn for a Mobile Phone company who will produce a Mobile Phone that simply is for making and receiving Phone Calls and the odd text. If I do a dozen texts a month that is it! All that faffing around switching screens and such like; it is quicker and more direct to talk to someone.
Yes, I'm traditional; I still have my Sony Walkman "Sports" bought in the early 80's; it still works perfectly and that means using cassette tapes. My television is 15 years old and is in perfect condition (albeit with a modern Freeview box to aid receiving modern channnel options!).
I don't agree with the "disposable" element of today's society; a printer might last 6, 9 or 12 months and then you throw it away as it costs too much to repair and that is what the manufacturers say! Why can't products today be made to last???
But give me a mix of old and new; each has its' merits and negatives.

I like a mixture of both. Obviously non of us would be posting on here even 20 yrs ago. Life without a mobile? An old copy of Penthouse?
Going to Barcelona in October to admire the Gothic architecture again (last went in 1993) |

"I would love to visit Miami one day to admire the Art Deco buildings, as I would love to have a self-built house one day in that style.
"
Miami's a ****ing dump! There are half a dozen nice looking buildings around South Beach and the beach itself is stunning, but the rest of it is full of pawn shops and hustlers... Florida is a very poor state and really not pleasant |

Antique or old to modern, cars aint nothin like the old stuff, no character, good lines or excitement. A photo album is more sentimental, proper memories. So old is for me lol. |
