I have a 10-year-old daughter who is talented at drawing. Despite living in a digital home, I intentionally have her use *paper and paint*, not an iPad.
Why? Because the "Undo" button makes choices cheap. On paper, a mistake is fatal. Dealing with that "irreversibility" builds mental toughness and true intent (Agency).
It reminds me of a quote from Shogo Makishima (the antagonist in Psycho-Pass), who insists on reading physical books in a hyper-digital society: "Books are not just for reading words. They are tools to calibrate your senses."
In a world of infinite digital slop, "Analog" is no longer just nostalgia. It is a discipline to keep our human senses calibrated.
