psion1369What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die?
A lot of tech evolves and changes quickly, and a whole lot of people just dont like change, especially as they get older. It is also harder to learn new things as you get older. While it doesn’t apply across the board, the “can’t teach an old dog” addage generally holds true. This is not something that will go away. If you dont want to become that person, continue to exercise your brain as you age, and learning new tricks will be easier.
My dwindling interest in the the new hotness for tech is due to diminishing returns and how frequently it is change for the sake of change with zero additional benefit. I still learn new stuff, but only after it has been out long enough to find out if there is an actual benefit involved.
Seriously, the amount of things that are just repackaged stuff that already existed but now it is cheaply produced and unreliable is overwhelming. Brands don’t even stick to their purpose for a decade before selling out and letting quality slip.
