Technology Attention Deficit Disorder

As advancements in technology occur more frequently, our satisfaction with that same technology decreases at a similar rate. When the iPhone 4S was released in October 2011, not a day had gone by before disappointed consumers were already speculating as to what new features would debut on the iPhone 5. This is now common, as new phones and computers are released monthly, each attempting to be the "next big thing" for as long as possible. Back during the release of the iPod in October 2001, instead of wondering when the next version came out we were busy being amazed at what innovation had given us! The focus was on what we had, rather than on what would come. If you wanted to own the best phone in today's market, and would rather wait for the next release than buy the current best just to have it be beaten, you'd never be able to buy a phone! You would forever be waiting for the next phone release so that you were sure you got the best. Such is the age of advancement that we live in, where we think more about the future than what is happening in our lives now. We need to remember to be satisfied with what we have and use it to it's full potential, rather than wait for the next release to be satisfied.
