Handmade Over AI: Why Young People Are Seeking Analog Experiences

The charm of handmade craftsmanship is on the rise in the age of artificial intelligence.

In an era where AI makes everything convenient and fast,

analog experiences that offer a tangible, hands-on feel are gaining traction instead.

Analog hobbies like knitting, embroidery, and film photography are surging in popularity among young people worldwide.

This trend was even reported by the Financial Times in the UK.

Michaels, a U.S. arts and crafts retailer, also revealed that search volume related to analog hobbies such as knitting, embroidery, and painting increased by 136% compared to the previous year.

Sales of analog products are actually increasing.

As we can easily see around us these days, people are frequently spotted using paper diaries or taking pictures with instant cameras.

Experiences that require sincere effort, time, and personal touch.

Perhaps this is the unique, irreplaceable value of human beings that AI can never replicate.
