Stopping progress? Why? One guy here said he'd stop with vehicles in the 70's??? Wow. Crap Bias ply tires, Crap drum brakes, Crap reliability, Crap fuel economy, Crap safety standards... Why would ANYONE want a 70's vehicle that was shot at 75k miles over ANY vehicle of today is just broken in at 150k miles??? Do I want my 1971 Ford F100 back? Heck yeah! Not for a daily driver, not for pulling trailers, but for a toy.
I say smart progress all the time. Most failures in advancement are due to dumb people demanding dumb things, like cheap junk over quality stuff. I'd much rather pay $2500 for a quality serviceable TV than $700 for a Chinese-made junk TV, but I'm in the minority versus most people. They want something they can throw away after a couple years when some new features come out. If everyone stayed outta Wal-mart and off Amzon, we'd likely have much better, longer lasting stuff.
I think alot of the opinion on when to stop comes from most people being over 70 years old on here. Dagnamit! Get off my lawn! Most here are an incalculable value when it comes to advice on many things, but where to stop in the advancement of technology isn't one of those things.
