New Technology

[techtalk]

As I'm sure you have heard before, technology is always changing... getting better.  Now I absolutely love it, I mean i don't think I would be able to live without it.  There is also a downside to technology evolving so fast... there is always something new.  It's almost like whenever I get a new, really cool gadget, not a month later, a new, better and more advanced piece of tech is already being released.  That makes me so frustrated and angry!   I also hate how technology depreciates so quickly, especially when a new generation of the model you have is released.  You only end up getting a fraction of what you actually paid for the phone, and that's if it is prime condition.  Here is a web page with information on the release dates from the original iPhone, to the brand new announced today iPhone 5.  It has pretty much been a new iPhone each year from 2007 to today.  Now I wouldn't mind that if most phone contracts didn't last for two years...  Which makes it hard to upgrade to the version each year because you have to pay a contract early termination fee.  Adding onto that you have to start a new contract so that you can get the new phone for a much cheaper price.  It would be much better in my opinion, if mobile carriers shortened their phone contracts to a year so that you can keep up to date with the newest phones.  Thanks for reading and don't forget to keep up with the iPhone 5 unveiling twitter page.

Agreed...though that still leaves the issue of new ones coming out every year. Personally, I'm just as happy buying last year's model (or the year before that), in order to get a good quality product at about half the price.
