 So called *modern* [software](software.md)/[hardware](hardware.md) and other *modern* [technology](technology.md) might as well be synonymous with [shitty](shit.md) [bloated](bloat.md) abusive technology. It's one of the most abused [buzzwords](buzzword.md) of today, relying (successfully) on the sheeple [shortcut thinking](shortcut_thinking.md) -- in a [capitalist](capitalism.md) [age](21st_century.md) when everything is getting progressively worse in terms of design, quality, ethicality, efficiency, etc., newer means worse, therefore modern (*newest*) means *the worst*. In other words *modern* is a term that stands for "as of yet best optimized for exploiting users". At [LRS](lrs.md) we see the term *modern* as **pejorative** -- for example whenever someone says "we work with modern technology", he is really saying "we are working with as of yet worst technology". Is it shit? Does it abuse you? Is useless? Doesn't matter, it's NEW! Basically *modern* is a word that to a retard just communicates "buy it".

 Modern technology is also opposed by [neoluddists](neoluddism.md), a kind of anti-technology movements whose roots go back to 19th century. The word *modern* was similarly addressed e.g. by [reactionary software](reactionary_software.md) -- it correctly identifies the word as being connected to a programming orthodoxy of [current times](21st_century.md), the one that's obsessed with creating bad technology and rejecting good technology. { I only found reactionary software after this article has been written. ~drummyfish }
 
 Sometimes random people notice the issue, though there are very few. One blog (https://blog.ari.lt/b/modernism/) for example goes on to say that "modernism sucks" and the word *modern* is basically just an excuse for being [bloated](bloat.md). Those are indeed true words.
