Maybe it's what happens as you get old yourself. Identification with old things maybe, or simply resistance to change.
For example, my pedal bike I bought in 1968 and I think it was about 7 years old then. I still ride it and it works fine, although it could do with a lower first gear. This is strange as even 30 years ago it seemed fine!
My motorcycle is an 1984 model BMW R65LS which I have had since around 2001 and I see no reason to replace it.
I am typing this on an old Lenovo Thinkpad X200s running Windows 7 which I really do not want to replace. Although when the bank said, effectively, "If we lose your money and you are not using Windows 10 then you are to blame" I was forced to buy a laptop that could run windows 10. It's a HP, but once again a very old one. I only use it for banking.
I run an eighteen year old version of Microsoft Office and a fifteen year old version of Photoshop and a nine year old Microsoft Expression Web to design my websites.
When I was a keen amateur photographer I used a manual focus Minolta X500 and a 1940's Rolleiflex for for around 20 years as the world switched to autofocus computer controlled stuff. When I turned professional I bought a Nikon D70 digital camera which I still use occasionally for old times sake.
I bought a new scooter!!! It is a very basic 110cc Suzuki and about as basic a machine as you can get nowadays. I enjoy it so much that I bought another scooter, a 300cc Honda. It is two years old and much more powerful than the Suzi, with lots more gadgetry. I prefer the simplicity of the Suzi and will probably sell the Honda soon.
So I'm a dinosaur. But Dinosaurs dominated the earth for around 150 million years and homo sapiens have been the dominant species for under 10 thousand years.
