I don't know about you guys, but part of the reason I play pinball is because I can ESCAPE from the grid. I've got my phone, texts, social media, email, yada yada...it is relentless. Sometimes I just shut down and go OTG.
Pinball is quaint and kind of old fashioned feeling. That's why I LIKE it. It's physical parts banging against each other like some funky, imaginative contraption from long ago. I don't need it taking my picture, I don't need it broadcasting my shitty scores or allowing me to play head-to-head with someone from Antarctica "just because that's progress and needs to be done". And when I want to play head-to-head, NOTHING beats having your buds alongside you IN PERSON. Chatting, joking...in real life. It doesn't get more "connected" than that.
Pile on if you want, I don't care. Tech has its excellent uses and I love it sometimes -- but at a certain point a well-intentioned "positive" becomes a "negative".
