I think I know how the OP feels. I have a similar history with computers and I get bored maybe once a year. But in my case, some new and interesting problem always appears before long, benefiting from the use of new and interesting technology. This year it has been mostly NoSQL. Next year it might be something completely different. Technology by itself is only fascinating for a short while. Finding interesting problems and real-world projects where to use it is the cool part. I consider my own job a great one because the environment and people often make this possible.
