Depends on when you started. I began with changing tubs in TV sets and radios in the '50s. That's tech paleontology. So fossilized instead of marinated might be more appropriate for my cohort. After that, instant dinner tech or maybe transistor tech...then LED tech, laser tech...

@jalefkowit My grandfather, the bookkeeper for his church, in his 80s used a massive manual, hand-cranked adding machine with row after row of buttons. When I offered him my pocket calculator instead, he shrugged and said he just didn't want to learn something new at his age.
I worked with newspaper reporters who didn't want to make the jump from typewriters to word processors.
I started using PCs back in '77 when I bought a TRS-80, so I've marinated in tech for a long time.
