Or do while making sure you 100% know WTF you are doing. Some modern tech, like onion routing and encryption, are still very useful.

But if you're not the kind of person who can convert a 32 bit hex number to decimal in your head or recognize a JTAG port on a device when you see it, then yeah stay away.

Golden rule: always go for old tech, unless you have a specific reason for going modern.
