Why not just limit your perusal of the new stuff? It's interesting enough if you're in the game to keep apprised, from a 10,000 ft pov, of what's around. A delimited once-a-day/week/whatever browse fulfils that. But stop there. Let all your further dives into new tech be driven purely by actual needs/uses (career or business or hobby etc). The solution to the Paradox of Choice is to opt out. Human minds aren't soul-stuff magic - they're evolved systems whose history hasn't equipped them to deal fluently with unlimited choices. That's just physical reality, so we need to comport with it, not with the blandishments of the virtual business/tech world. In many domains of contemporary life, one way to be free (and reduce anxiety) is to use volitional attention to restrict the range of choices we're presented with.
