I'll agree also. And it's not always fast moving technology. I think it's a bit of intentional obsolescence. Many of the "features" added over the last several versions of different products already existed but just weren't included in these popular products (the classic examples are not having MMS, video, or cut/paste in the original iPhones). And yes, I've heard that they weren't quite ready for such high performance products, but I don't totally buy that.<br>

I hear you on that. I'm not one to run out and buy the latest gadget. I tend to stick with whatever works for me for quite a while. And I do get frustrated by the way this industry makes you feel like your one-year-old whatever it is is now a dinosaur. But then again, technology *is* moving that fast. It is hard to know where to strike the balance, though. <div>

<div>I am not sure if i am supposed to feel like this but I do anyway. Maybe someone will have an explanaiton that will make me feel better.</div>
<div>I do understand evolution and how things get better with time..after usage and with new technology. But i cant help but get a little upset over the fact that the iphone that i had excitedly bought a couple of years ago is now 'outdated'. It doesnt have any of the things that 4 g (right) have! </div>
<div>Am I supposed to stay committed to my existing phone (its cracked!) or go for the better one? When does one 'settle down' with a technology...does that happen when one dies or when one doesnt have any money ...and to me both sound like extreme. </div>
<div>What is the fine line between consumerism and getting excited with new technology? I have had these qustions bother me many times...I would love to talk about it if any body else feels the same way..if not i will wait around for the next topic on social :) <br>
