Re/code:

The key rule in evaluating the flood of new hardware and software that’s constantly being hawked at you is this: If you’re happy with what you already use, if it works well for you, don’t upgrade.

Yes, the tech industry employs a massive marketing machine to get you on the upgrade treadmill and keep you there, but you don’t have to do so. Resistance isn’t futile.

Lack of funds may have something to do with it but I no longer need to be the first to have all the latest and greatest software and hardware. If what I use works and the new version doesn’t offer tangible benefits, I’ll stick with what I have.
