when it comes to technology appreciation, usually, the audience breaks into three major groups:
the old, trans and the granted.
regardless of age, the old are the ones who, no matter what the device is and what's function is, the new is never as good as the old, and never will be. the new is always a disaster waiting to happen and a manifestation of the world falling apart.
nothing will ever be as good as what was because they reminisce in a hyper idealistic nostalgia that is self-serving, and anything that interferes with that, disrupts that ideal.
the trans are the people who ar living the change and adapting to it, whether for better or for worse, in good ways and bad, they comment on the problems of innovation, but cant help to want to be part of it. they acknowledge the past and give it a special place in their ideals, but, get excited for what's to come.
simultaneously, they tend to have a difficult time objectively differentiating between "different" and "better".
all in all, more power to them.
...AND the granted, predominantly the younger audiences. the ones who grow up with a set technology around them, and therefore... for the same reason, and probably to their benefit, take it for granted.
i for one, cant wait to see what will happen next.
