technology
I was reading matt's blog on cell phones and it reminded me of this video we watched in government. Someone in the video mentioned (probably a little exaggerrated) about how you buy the "new" ipod, but a day later another one comes out. I'm pretty sure this is a result of different firms competing against each other for the better product, but I have to say it's extremely frusterating at the fact that I got the "new" ipod for my birthday and my brother got the "new" ipod for his birthday (2 months later) and somehow I end up with a 4GB song/photo ipod and he gets a 30GB music/movie/photo ipod. It's just insane how technology has developed over a few months and then think about years ago when none of this was around at all.

I had the same issue when going to buy a cell phone arlier this year. I got the razr 2, which is really nice and I do like it. but there are parts of it that are already obsolete. I can't stream video and the internet application is slower than I would expect for the amount I paid for the phone and the plan. I'm already thinking of upgrading to a Blackberry in a year when I can get the "had my phone for a year" discount. How sad is that, spend $200 on a phone and only use it for a year? (then again, the keys will probably be shot with all the texting/email/internet usage I do!)
Holy cow! that's a huge difference.
'course, I'm sure Tanner would say it's just because he's cooler. Don't listen to him. I've had both of you in class. You're way cooler. lol
yea, i agree. They are constantly coming out with new ones that are more expensive. I always look for the older ones cause they're cheaper but they are all discontinued... YUCK!!
yeah, i agree, you're way cooler taylor! and i agree with your post too. i got my computer in september, and my dad got the same one a month later, and his is way better than mine! it goes faster and it even has different keys on the keyboard!
Yes taylor! i totally get what you're saying. It seems like everytime you turn around there's a newer Ipod, computer or cell phone. but I think you have it right, with competition comanies have no choice but to keep coming out with the newest fastest and best thing unles they don't want to make a profit.
