Everything has changed. The way we shop has obviously changed. The way we entertain ourselves and interact with others has changed. We no longer have to be slaves of what the big machine dictates. We don't need to put up with whatever "next big thing" they choose to spoon-feed, shove down our throats, or otherwise foist upon us.
In his enlightening and highly recommended book, Buying In, author Rob walker has this to say:

People who incessantly chase after the "new thing" are doomed to a life of strife and, ultimately, crushing mediocrity.
Rise above, son - rise above.
