Well, when all you want is a 200 year old technology, another few years won’t bring much change. When you want to use technology that is still being developed and invented things are going to change a little more often. It’s not so much planned obsolescence as it is just using things before the development is mature. In 200 years maybe computer technology will be so mature that new things aren’t happening very often. Not everybody wishes to wait that long. Some of it is useful enough already. Next year it’ll be better. But that’s next year.
What does this newer technology give you on your wrist that the device in your pocket does not do better in every way? I freely and with peace and satisfaction reveal that I am a phone luddite, calling and texting with basic camera function has done me fine for many years, don’t need the bells and whistles and fees.
