And then there are those of us "late adopters" that only buy any technology when it has gotten so ubiquitous that life is impeded without it. I had a "dumb phone" until just a year ago, when I was asked to do a day of workshops and speeches at an important conference and needed some features of a smart phone. To this day, unless I'm traveling, I barely turn the thing on. I have never owned a TV, but did have CDs that I just got rid of when I sold my house. I either recorded to Mp3 or just let it go. What will replace Mp3? Well hopefully nothing soon.
