As a guy who is well into his 30's and very much interested in new gadgets (both software and hardware) I can't help feeling there is something wrong. I'll try to give some examples:
- Apple released the iPad in April 2010, and sold 3 million of the devices in 80 days [1]. Less than one year later and Apple is going to announce iPad 2! [2]
- How long can you keep hold of your TV? You bought the flat screen and the HD-ready is already on sell, you got the HD-ready and the Full-HD is on sell, you got the Full-HD and along comes the 3D TV, and I gurentee you that once you buy your shiny 3D TV, a hologram TV will be on sell.
- And don't even let me start on cell phones. The average life expectancy of a cell phone is 18 months, most people are 'forced' to change there cell phone way before that because of the new technology added to the new phones.
- Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, MSN, Yahoo!, LinkedIn, Flickr, Orkut just to name few social networks [3]. In my time, we had a handful of newspapers and magazines, now it seems there is a newspaper for every last person on the plant!.
