evolution in technology makes me feel like an idiot

one day you buy sth, say a broadband connection or a cell phone.
a week later (if not a day later) one of the following happens:
1. you can buy it half-price
2. you can buy it on the same price with extra features or peripherals or an extra gadget as a gift
3. you can buy a better device at the same price or lower

the thing is, i always have the sense that i am wasting my money or cannot get the best offer for myself, since there's always a better offer coming along a few days later. and an even better one a few days later than that. and so the story goes...

dear its not technology evolution its more of companies wanting to make more money by releasing the outdated models even though they have more high tech ones already available :P

it's both :) if technology didn't evolve there wouldn't be a new mpdel to release later and see the outdated one now anyway...no?

explaining it doesn't make me feel any better though. it's not like i don't understand it. it's more that i can't stand it! :)
