I dunno I'm only just 30 and I am way less excited by tech than I was 10 years ago. Less and less of it is stuff that caters to me... For example I got one of the second generation kindles and it was fantastic, and after that finally died I got a Kindle Voyage because it had the page press pseudo buttons. I'd have preferred actual buttons but better than nothing.

Now I am terrified about what happens when that Kindle Voyage dies the only option I have for one that has page turn buttons now is the Oasis which only has them on one side, which doesn't sound too bad, but because I'm left handed I am more capable of using both hands for stuff than most people so when reading with a kindle I pass it between hands all the time. Sure I could do that with an Oasis, but I'd have to rotate it 180 degrees and wait for the orientation to change instead of just passing it across.

I know this is an incredibly nit picky complaint, but it's an example of a category of tech gadget I feel let down by.

Phones are similar, Samsung's new flagships don't have SD card slots or audio jacks AFAIK, meaning they are following a trend away from the things that made me go with them in the first place.

I can't remember the last time I saw new bit of tech or device and thought "wow I want one" really and it makes me really fucking sad. I have a good job now, I can actually afford enthusiast level tech... but now I don't want any of it really and whenever I buy anything I feel like I'm choosing the least bad option instead of buying something exciting
