If you can't afford to update, fair enough, but then you should accept it's 
simply a fact of life the world will always change and not everyone can stay 
current all the time.  Everyone has different life circumstances and it's 
pointless blaming the rest of the world for not stopping to wait for the guy 
who's 5 years behind just so he can catch up.  Yeah it's disapponting not 
having money to update, but getting frustrated at the world is a totally 
useless emotion, especially as getting cranky at everything isn't going to 
change anything and you'll still have the same problem tomorrow, but with 
even less energy to do anything positive about it.

If the Sunrise in the morning blinds you through the bedroom window every 
morning, you don't get all cranky and yell at the Sun do you?  You know it 
is always like that and you change your house to solve the problem and 
adapt.
