I think there are two historical views of technology that people take. View 1 holds that any new technology is better because it saves time performing some task that used to take a long time previously. View 2 holds that any new technology is suspect unless it can be shown that there was truly no value in the time spent before the technology came about.
I think there's value in both views, but I'm also more of a View 2 rather than View 1 person, and that's why I prefer not to do those things. I also don't own a microwave, toaster, or coffee maker. Instead I use a French Press and an oven.
Realize that when you choose to do something differently from the way it was done in the past, there is necessarily a trade off to be made, either in your enjoyment of time, or the quality of your output, or both.
