New Technology

High tech doesn't stay high tech for long in this world of fast moving, upgradable and downloadable technology. It seems like every week there is an update to make something faster, or a download to give you more content and a new version of what you just bought is on the shelf with new even more awesome features. So what are you supposed to do about it? Are you supposed to just sit on the sideline and watch all the cool stuff from a distance and not take the plunge into the awesomeness yourself?

That wouldn't be enjoyable and you would wind up missing out on all of the awesome new things that technology is offering. As long as you do not make technology the core of your life and depend on it 100% to get you through the day and are able to hold a conversation face to face without needing to do it in a chat room online, then you will end up fine. But sometimes holding out, waiting a little bit longer before purchasing that new toy can save lots of money and complications.

All new technology gets better after the first generation has been sold and all of the bugs have been worked out. The first iPod is nothing like the latest generation IPod, and I am pretty sure that all of the people that bought the first generation iPod have upgraded to a newer model since then. That is not to say that the first generation iPod wasn't any good, but it got even better after the first generation. But it was important that those first people bought the product because it allowed the developers to make an even better model afterwards.

So there needs to be a good mix of individuals who will jump on a new technology right away, and individuals that are going to hold back until the prices get a little more affordable. And it is irrelevant how great the technology is, if there are not enough people that buy that technology and prove it's profitable, then the developers and manufacturers will be unable to keep the technology moving forward and turning it into what it could be.

Without the popularity of the iPod and the iPod touch, Apple never would have been able to release the iPhone to the public. And without the iPhone, there would be millions of people that would not know what to do with their leisure time playing music and apps.
