>>I don't have any Amish stores around where I live, but there's some small shops here and there. I miss going to them (it's no fun going by yourself, but that's just me).<<
There are a few online options. Not as fun as shopping in person, but better than nothing.
>> True, it even depends on how long current countries' 2G and 3G will last for older devices.<<
The devil's treadmill of constant update demands has done a good job of discouraging me from technology. I'm more impressed by something that'll still be useful in 50,000 years.
>> A part of me wants to hold on to hope that this trend will continue to keep going up as time goes on; I think it'll be better for everyone's mental health in the long run.<<
Remember that everything is finite. It's not just peak oil or peak lithium. Every fuel or material has a limit, except for renewables like sunlight and bamboo. Look at how much modern technology is built on fossil everything and you can see that it won't be able to continue on this trajectory forever. That's before factoring in the civilization collapses probable from climate change.
