I'm not sure what I said which gave you the impression that is what I 
mean.

I would say I am against advancements that are presumed to be 
advancements because they use "modern" technology. Most of us live in 
cultures which are infatuated with modern technology, and I do believe 
this affects our judgement. It is likely future generations will think 
we're stupid, or primitive, or <fill in general criticism here>, and 
only specific things will stand the "test of time". We can see this 
even over a short period of time. I do believe we have a responsibility 
to be patient about our progress (or lack of).

I'm glad Kawai has been using plastic piano parts, and if it proves to 
be a bad thing in the long run I hope Kawai doesn't get a bad wrap for 
doing it (though I've never been impressed with their pianos, granted I 
haven't tried out one of their EX pianos).
