[no maybe about it - culture is reactive]
"It strikes me that the current fetishization of analog technology has less to do with nostalgia than it does with an urge to slow down the transfer of data from the internal to the external, from the individual to the collective, and to make it all less instant, less ephemeral, less interchangeable, and more tangible, more linear and more contextual."
[yep; there's always culture to react to. "Nostalgia" is just what we use to characterize its artifacts]
