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. <br>

<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help but get a little upset over the fact that the iphone that i had excitedly bought a couple of years ago is now 'outdated'.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>
