We live in an exciting era, with new
technology surfacing so fast that sometimes a newly purchased device
is behind the curve before we open the packaging. We have to spend a
good amount of money to adopt new technology, with the understanding
that our investment will be outdated very quickly. If you have the
money to continually buy the latest upgraded models, then this might
not seem much of a concern, but I'm not really talking about
finances. I'm talking about adoption: we might find a version of
something we really like, but because of the developing market, we're
essentially forced to abandon it and embrace something else. Even
though we might sometimes like the newer version of something, it can
be frustrating to frequently have to spend money update everything.
What if you liked the way something was, but now have to accept the
new version and adapt to it because your older version is
intentionally phased out of functionality? It feels less and less
like we have a choice about the products we use, but are instead
being led around by the companies that rely on our business.
