Notes... Notes...
Wherein I place my thoughts, random ramblings, which I was supposed to turn into a full-blown blog entry but have yet to do so.
- people will never be happy. they are never contented. constantly looking for thrill. once you get what you want, you want more. you get the best, you look for something better. but, looking at the bigger picture, a person IS happy. It's just that, you'll have your ups and downs, but you're generally going up. like so:
see the red line? the trend's increasing. the black curve's the actual. it goes down at some point, and another, but still, it's generally up. people just grew older, more mature (hopefully) and their expectations, wants, needs, have also increased. what they want (and finally got) could probably satisfy them then, but in time, it will not be enough anymore. - The problem with gadgets is that it's constantly changing. whatever you have then, it's going to be obsolete in a few years. you will have to change it, regardless if it still works. despite your tremendous effort at taking care of it, once it has reached the end of its life cycle, you will have to give it up for a new product. take apple for example. my mom recently bought the new iPad. I just heard earlier that a new new iPad will be released the same time as the iPad mini (around early november). the new new iPad is basically the old new iPad except for its charging dock (it will now use lightning, if i'm not mistaken). next thing we know, all apple charging docks will use lighting. another example would be our old playstation. it was the first PS. it was working just fine up until my 3rd year in high school (almost 6 years ago). we were bored with the games though. i mean, we've had it since grade school. unfortunately, no new game will work on the old ps. so, it was left in our closet until, one day, it wasn't working anymore. change is inevitable.
- on that note (second bullet), i'm now curious is that also applies to relationships. i've heard people who love each other but ended up breaking up. so relationships have their life cycle/useful life too?
