Groc's various musings

It's like I'm a half-demented taxi driver and you sit in the back - being polite but also appalled by my opinionated rantings and ravings.

The hi-tech refuseniks

"As the tech-savvy clamour to stay on the merry-go-round, there is a new voice rising above the "upgrade, upgrade" mantra. It says "make do, make do" and comes from a consumer group traditionally labelled "technology laggards", or "late adopters"; people who refuse to update.

These refuseniks question the logic of struggling to stay state of the art. Much to the chagrin of the technology industry, these revolutionaries are proudly using old devices and refusing to replace them with newer models"



-Oh, that'll be me then. Kthx. Bye.

Me as well. I think I'm one of two people in the office without an iphone. And I'm happy about it.
