Yes, Technology are advancing a bit too fast. As soon as you bought new product, it's already obsolete by the minute you paid. Newer products have better options or hardware than previous one. But the thing are that even it's advancing too fast, It won't catch up on us till next year or so cuz too many people can't afford to replace hardware quickly.
Just like LCD, Plasma TV came out several years ago, many of us still own CRT tv till price dropped and CRT TV analog signal got cut off recently last year, forcing us to purchase newer TV with digital signal. As soon as I bought new LCD TVs, I learned that new internet TV came out just few weeks ago. It'll be my next TV for my basement as soon as I finished it. My kids love new LCD TV in family room with PS3 watching Netflix and BlueRay, they love watching BlueRay movie on 1080p crisp sharp clean screen.
Who knows we will have paper thin TV (OLED ect) coming out and we can just pin it on wall like a poster
Paper TV become no good, just crumble it up and toss it in trash or If you're so
over game, crumble it up and rip em up if you can afford to blow another $$$ for 2nd paper TV
Another thing are that sometime new technological advancement can be bad and you get lucky to keep older device that allow you do what you want while new one been locked out to prevent copying or hacking ect. So it's kinda moot point.
I can understand IT technician's pain on upgrading equiptments. It's tough to keep it up but if you read updates more often, you'll keep urself updated. It's MIND BOGGLING too!!
I am seeing newer computers (desktops) are getting smaller and smaller. Soon enough in few years, we may have powerful desktop CPU size of pencil holder
. I've seen ITX and Nano ITX mobo as small as palm of your hand already in market few years ago. It wasn't powerful but newer processors and hardware helped change all that.
If anyone have lived through 60's and 70's would noticed that back then everything was big or huge till today everything are small and tiny but powerful. We see that as a amazing technological feats!
