"A step forward and no stepping back."

"A step forward and no stepping back."

Well, that can be beautifully said for an ambitionless hopeful and a spiritually crushed individual -- that is, me -- for a resolution to uphold. But it cannot be the same for how technology advances and leaving everything 'aged' just plain obsolete.

Quicktime 7, for instance, cannot install on systems running Windows 98 and older. And likewise for Media Player 9. And the Xbox 360? Huh. Selected "well selling" titles are considered for backward compatibility.

It seems people love getting new toys and not caring at all to treasure them until newer models (oh how sleek and shiny) start popping up. Yeah, and all I wanted was an old iPod. Fuck that, it ain't coming.

I suppose there are "weirdos" (finger tweaking included) who keep 200-year old violins. And, oh, why is it actually worth spending so much on a piece of old junk when they can get a new violin from any damned music store? Same goes for wine.

And when people now get older in the not-too-distant future, they should be simply chucked aside. After all, who cares about old stuff anyway...
