    “Innovation” is not necessarilly improvement and “New” is not necessarilly better, and I say this as somebody who has spent most of his career at or near the bleeding edge of Tech.

    I even get the feeling (from myself and from comments I read sometimes) that techies who do or did bleeding edge stuff and with a few years behind their backs, like me (so, not the bright-eyeds naive young ones who haven’t seen much yet and which the industry uses as fuel), are less prone to be technology early adopters than the average person exactly because we’ve seen a lot of brand-new innovative glittered turds sold on hype, not on genuinelly being a good thing.
