Setting Myself Up For Being Obsolete

So...In a matter of days I will be going to the store and purchasing myself a brand-spankin' new iPod Nano...in a cool red color. Hmmm...the problem is that I already have an iPod. A green mini to be exact. So what is wrong with it? iTunes has been telling me that I can't put new music on it because the software is too old. Apple always is coming up with new technology...which in turn makes everything it has previously created null and void. Why can't we just be satisfied with something that works? Mac computers are the same way. They always have to have the new version of everything...but that makes the owner have to spend more and more money on the upkeep of the computer. I don't know...you could compare that we humans become obsolete also. It is the big time people, the movie stars, sport stars, any kinda star really, that get the attention. Same with high school. The popular kids are the ones you notice. But what about those that just live? Aren't they just as good? They may not be the best but that does not mean that they are not good enough. Ads every day come at us proclaiming that they have some new and better treatment of some sort that will make you a better person. Plastic surgery, botox, crash diets...all exist because we are fed the crap that tells us that we are not good enough, that we are becoming obsolete. All of this started with a new iPod...yet I am still going to get it.
