I'm 52 and while I'm excited by some new technologies (I think AI art like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion are fascinating), I find I'm less and less excited by new gadgets, even though when I was younger I was an "early adopter" who liked to buy these things even in their first versions that often didn't work that well.
- mattkrause 4y agoMy interest seems to depend on why the device doesn't work well. - The problem is intrinsically hard --> fun regardless - The problem is hard but we're pretending it isn't --> maddening - The problem isn't that hard (anymore) but the code/gizmo was rushed out or is pointlessly convoluted --> enraging.
- mrandish 4y agoThis is exactly how I look at new tech too. Makes me crazy when something new could work but doesn't for stupid reasons.
