With age, I've realized that new shiny things don't do much for me. The opposite has become apparent, in fact. The value I derive from using something increases over time as it ages. This works better with some things than others. For example, a house or older audio equipment which doesn't tend to degrade quickly over time. As a result, I find myself spending more time enjoying those things which age better over time than new technology which does not.
