While I'm not about to ditch social media and my smartphone (even I do look at it far too often), I definitely understand "the appeal of analogue". Give me a CD or a printed copy of a book over the intangibility of digital media any day.
According to author David Sax, who is quoted in Clea Skopeliti's article, humans have an innate need or desire to experience the world through touch and physical objects. A useful argument to have to hand next time I'm getting berated for buying more second-hand books.
