Neil Howe: Which Of Tech's 'Four Horsemen' Is Built To Last?

(06-07-2016, 10:50 AM)X_4AD_84 Wrote: American vidiots may finally be starting to realize what dufuses they are, renting iShits from the phone company, often using the phone company's expensive connection instead of WiFi, and forgetting to actually move the bits and bytes off of the wee little not-quite-a-computer into real storage somewhere.

And don't get me started about planned obsolescence (I just HAVE to get the iShit 7S+++ to BE COOL and BE SEEN!!!!!).

Smarter ones buy used iShits and sign up with a pre-paid outfit, use WiFi as much as possible, don't keep lots of bits and bytes on their wee 'puter, etc.

I'm a slow adapter. I consider alternatives, one of which is to hold out with the old technology as long as I can get away with it. I know the pattern, and I would become an early adapter only if I were in the business and had to know the product for the sake of my business activity.
