I used to be a tech maven. I loved new tech. New computers, new operating systems, new phones, new stereos, new MP3 players, etc.. They were all wonderful.
Now, I find myself lagging behind. Part of this is because of money. I don't have much these days, and the new tech is an expensive habit. The rest is that I'm not that impressed by the tech anymore. Nothing new out there. Just variations on themes. Faster perhaps. Smaller maybe. Different colors. A few more bells and whistles, but anything game changing?
No.
Microsoft is going to try to change the game with Windows 8. While I applaud their willingness to attempt something sort of new, I'm appalled that their new is basically just taking a phone user interface and ramping it for desktops and tablets. Sigh. This is what tech innovation has sunk to.
So chase the new tech if you will. I will watch from the sidelines and sip from a Luddite drink. The taste is not unpleasant these days.
