Technology. Isn’t it great? It powers the world around us, fuels innovation at rates never seen before, and binds us into a never-ending cycle of thirsting over the next shiny new thing. Frustratingly, while I’m lucky enough to be in a position where I might just be able to afford some of these shiny new things, I can’t buy them. More accurately, I won’t.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I’m deathly afraid of wasting what little money I have buying something that leaves me feeling like I just bought a bridge from George C. Parker.
