Low tech is a term used to describe the use of technologies that are considered outdated or obsolete. In other words, low tech is the opposite of high tech. However, this doesn’t mean that low-tech is somehow less sophisticated than high-tech. Indeed, many times it is just the opposite! Low tech can be as reliable and effective as high tech, if not more so.

Low tech is a blog that celebrates the amateur side of technology. We celebrate DIY, hacking and bricolage. We don’t care how to use a new app or what to buy for the next birthday. Instead, we focus on tips, tricks, and guides for those who want to learn more about the technology.
