Yes, but the steam machinery will fade away too...
The people that keep it going are a collection of the original engineers/farmers & families of those machines.....it'll all disappear, be afraid!
Find someone under 40 who has an active interest in steam-technology.....enuff said ;-)
MM.
I agree 100%, but my theory was if the steam stuff is still around now and has been redundant for umpteen years then pinballs will still be around for quite a while after they are out of production ( hope that makes sense!?)
Yeh, steam might be around, but in futile numbers and dwindling rapdily.
However, steam lasted longer coz nothing else surpassed it (until combustion engines took over), so steam technology had some longevity passing thru several generations.
Pinball is a lesser extent than steam-tech, and now when we look at 'Modern' tech, things like playstation 1/2/ xbox1, 86/286/386/486 pentiums theyre all GONE! most only lasted 1 year.
As we progress, we move faster through the stages, so nothing will really hang around like steam engines etc...
It's nothing bad about the technology, it's just shit marketing that makes everyone feel they need to move with it.
Probably why i dont have a mobile phone, i refuse to play the zombie game ;-)
