We live in a magical world that is constantly changing and evolving. We see it every time we buy a new car, a new TV, or a new computer. We see it every month when the iPod releases a new improved model that offers more features, more disk space, and more, in a smaller package (not as they added video but, until then, gadgets were dwindling. While features were growing). The fact of the matter is that technology seems to be evolving at a level that is almost impossible to keep up with. That being said, you can really drive yourself crazy by trying to keep up with the pace of modern technology.
What you need to do to keep the right mindset is to decide on a level of professionalism that you are comfortable with and confident, and go with it until the time (according to need or desire) to improve. You do not have to be the first to buy the latest and greatest software in the software and gadget (this is my motto: I do not have to be the first to own a big bad toy, I will survive a gadget cut - I'm not working but always optimistic). The point is, you do not need to be the first to try everything new, and you will not have to worry about trying, but you will also have a bank account, credit cards, and a second mortgage. Technology is expensive, especially new and modern ones. If in doubt, go to Ebay and see how much the PlayStation 3 is currently on sale - mad and crazy don't start registering the amount of money people promise to pay for these devices.
Technology is amazing. It makes life easier for some and more enjoyable for others. The same is true for auto sound systems. Technology is there to make them more profitable for the car and the driver than ever before while offering more features than ever before. Today you are not limited to AM and FM either. You now have a selection of CDs, audiobooks, MP3s, XML, and digital FM radio, which offer a few bonus features to traditional radio. It does not matter if you have a completely new one. Most of us can enjoy the many amazing technologies available if we are willing to wait long enough for the prices to go down. I remember, and it was not so long ago, when DVD players were sold for no less than $100. You can get it now (about 5 years later) for less than $30. This is just one example of many. The PS2 was almost $400 when it first hit the market and can now be purchased for as much as $120. All around us technology changes and grows and prices fall.
The point is, spend your money where you want it to be spent, rather than on what you need to spend. If you are looking for an automated audio system, find the best one that feels that it meets your budget needs. You do not need to have a high-tech system in order to have a good sound system that will give you years of happiness. You alone are responsible for the decisions you make. It is up to you to decide where you want your money to be invested when it comes to technology gadgets and gadgets. Believe me, I am a gadget expert. I love playing with new toys and gizmos and seeing how they really work, for me it makes me happy. At the same time I realize that I can't always be the first to find the new toys I want to try so, I limit myself and decide which ones are the most important. You have to do this yourself when it comes to auto audio systems
