High tech doesn't stay high tech for too long in this world of fast moving, upgradable and downloadable technology. It appears as if once a week there's an update to make something faster, or a download to give you more content and a new version of whatever you just bought is on the shelf with new even more magnificent features. So what are you supposed to do about it? Are you supposed to just sit on the sideline and watch all the cool things 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 1st generation has been sold and all of the glitches have been solved. The very first iPod is nothing like the most recently released generation iPod, and I am fairly certain that most of the people that bought the first generation iPod have upgraded to a more modern model since then. That is not to say that the first generation iPod was not any good, however it got better yet after the 1st generation. But it was crucial that those first people purchased the product because it enabled the developers to create an even better model afterwards.
So there needs to be a good mix of individuals who are going to jump on a new technology right away, and individuals that are going to hold back until the costs get a little more sensible. And it makes no difference how great the technology is, if there aren't enough people that purchase that technology and prove that 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.
