The aesthetic combines archaic technology, disconcerting art, small rooms, and eerily unpopulated public spaces.

Though it continues to endure with a loyal fanbase, the world of Friends is undeniably analog; Its adorably archaic technology could and does fill lists.

Dave Pickles, the company's founder and chief technology officer, wrote in a blog post on Wednesday that cookies are an "archaic technology" and argued that relevant advertising will remain.

Given its track record and ongoing controversy, the FBI's decision to revert to archaic technology is troubling, but for dogged FOIA filers, another layer of strategic obfuscation is just business as usual.

Records are archaic technology, a format that is not at all portable and subject to all manner of degradation, from scratches and skips to pops and clicks, if it isn't properly and lovingly cared for.

American biohacker Amal Graafstra, 40, decided in 2005 that he wanted to be done with such archaic technology "from like 700 BC." He looked at iris scanning and fingerprint reading as solutions for opening his office door, but decided those options were expensive and unreliable.

There is also playfulness in the short videos and slide images projected through old-time carousels, with all the whirring and pops of that archaic technology, and in the disco music streaming from a small stereo placed on the floor, which always sounds a bit like a Baptist church to me, with it jubilant choruses and energetic harmonies.

All projection and effects were by Dennis Nyback. An original musical score was performed by Andrew Ritchey, Matt Carlson, and Jordan Dykstra. Speaking before the Seance were Sheldon Renan, Darrin Daniel and Rani Singh. Archaic technology preservationist Doug Stewart recorded the entire Seance on two Presto 6N recording lathes.

Ibara is very similar to 8ing/Raizing's Battle Garegga and Battle Bakraid games. So much so that Ibara could be considered a pseudo-sequel or, at least, a spiritual successor. The similarities are numerous - some are subtle, some are easily spotted. These include combining archaic technology such as biplanes with more advanced machinery; firing and a power-up system; and a medal collecting system which drastically increases scoring.

The process could take days depending on the weather. The side facing the wind tended to burn rather than melt and efficiencies in the winter were lower. This archaic technology had the disadvantage of producing large quantities of sulfur dioxide and other compounds highly polluting and harmful for the health of workers, for agriculture, and for all the surrounding environment. It was required to install these rudimentary facilities at a distance of at least from inhabited areas.

Besides methods of producing fishhooks, Archaic technology can be seen from Carlston Annis in the atlatl components. No direct evidence of specific techniques was apparent from this excavation, but substantial circumstantial evidence was present. Because very few burials were accompanied by stone atlatls, it is believed that many individuals were also buried with wooden atlatls (comparable to modern Eskimo technology) that have not survived to the present. Comparison with Indian Knoll suggests that early inhabitants at Annis used all-wooden atlatls more commonly than the Indian Knoll people.

The society has been characterized by what one may call a low level economic equilibrium. Even the 1984 great famine that hit all other parts of the country did not have a major impact in Sidama. However, a continued dependence on subsistence agriculture, which relies on archaic technology and vagaries of nature coupled with massive growth of rural population, and limited rural development, has made Sidama prone to frequent hunger and famine recently. Thus about a quarter of the total population in Sidama is directly or indirectly dependent on food aid from the international community today.

Both of the Lal Lal blast furnaces were 'cold blast' furnaces, with an 'open top'. This was already an archaic technology by the 1880s, because 'hot blast' furnaces—invented in 1828—greatly reduced fuel consumption and increased furnace capacity. A major disadvantage of 'cold-blast', 'open top' technology is that the furnace off- gases—especially combustible and highly poisonous carbon-monoxide—are not recycled (as fuel to heat a hot-blast 'stove' or the blower engine boiler) but are vented instead to the immediate environment. The only advantages of a 'cold blast' furnace were a lower initial capital cost—which may have been a critical factor for Lal Lal—and a less complex operation.

Unlike most other races, humans and their clients regard creativity as very desirable – the others take the view that everything useful has already been discovered, so it would be more efficient to search the Galactic Library for whatever they need. EarthClan are also considered odd for using archaic technology in addition to the more advanced Galactic technology, or sometimes preferring primitive technologies that they understand to more advanced ones that they don't yet understand. Most notably, EarthClan utilizes calculus, which is unknown and mistrusted by galactic society. All other races simply apply brute-force, finite-element analysis to any problem due to their ability to apply as much computing power as may be needed to model all phenomena.
