Me too, either old enough or poor enough. I had nothing but tapes and records until I seen a kid with a Discman at school and I HAD TO HAVE ONE. My mom got me one for Christmas finally and I had already traded up for every Nirvana CD, just had them there waiting.
I jumped to burning CDs as quickly as I could because I always wanted to be one step ahead with tech.
It’s crazy how far behind I am now. I always buy used phones, haven’t updated anything in my pc since 2014ish, still rocking a 2009 Mac Pro for music production.
Technology has really slowed down a lot since that time. There is less public investment and corporations sure as shit aren’t going to finance all their own R&D. So why bother?
There’s no virtue in needlessly cycling through new devices all the time just to satisfy one’s own emotions.
