It's a marketing ploy (think back to the automobile industry of the
'50s for a precedent) and it works.
My personal corollary is that the technofreak, a person who has to have
tomorrow's technology at all costs, is best explained as someone who
does not understand today's technology and prays that tomorrow's
technology will be easier.
It is technofreaks that drive the market.
