The major difference, though, is that most major technologies are not also accompanied by legislation that effectively penalizes the old methods. There's nothing legally penalizing me from using a bow and arrow, or buying hand-woven clothes, etc., whereas walking is effectively criminal in some parts of the US: https://www.cnn.com/2014/07/31/living/florida-mom-arrested-s...
Sure, but they're considered weapons and subject to weapons laws. Firearms are not inherently privileged over a bow and arrow, the way that cars are legally privileged over pedestrians in many cases.
