-685 Why do people still play old-fashioned instruments like clarinets, trumpets, and violins? Electricity and computers were invented for a reason, amirite?

Im pretty sure a robot would be good at dancong the robot. And if they sang Mr. Roboto then it would be just like going to a concert.

I'm not sure if there's any science to back this up, but I'm pretty sure playing the viola has improved my reflexes and motor skills, especially because I've been playing since I was very young.

When more electronics were made another breed of human was created as well: the idiot teenager who thinks he/she knows everything.

They actually once created a robot named Pavarobotti, which could imitate every sound that Pavarotti ever made. And you know what? It wasn't nearly as good as Pavarotti, because it was missing a certain spontaneity that only a living human could produce. Computers cannot make real music, because real music relies on that spontaneity.

Because people still enjoy listening/playing these instruments. Electricity and computer weren't invented so people can stop using classical instruments.

It's easier to shove an oboe up an ignorant person's ass than a computer.

You're obviously very ignorant. No that's and understatement. You a dumb-ass who needs to understand that electricity was NOT invented, and computers were not made for how we use them now. Fuck off dumb shit.

You're the dumbass. Electricity doesn't exist in nature. It is created when certain metals react chemically. And we harness this electricity, as well as other technologies, to eradicate old things like acoustic instruments. In time, you'll see I'm right.
