I"m trying to become that way. Not everything "new" works...but I am occasionally surprised to find something that fits a use case I'd not expected!!

Exactly this.
I remember one time back in the 80s when I was a young Sailor in the Navy and my wife and I went over to a group of friends apartment to play Scrabble for shots.
(Any word over 15 points and you got to drink... Hey - it was the Navy and we were young so it is what it is...)
I was newly married and she was being "introduced" to the guys I'd been hanging out with and had lived in the barracks with.
We're sitting there and Paulie had just gotten a new stereo system and he was dying to show it off. He turns it on and cranks it up and walks over to the table and........
.......sets the remote control for the stereo down on the table.
We were aghast and gave him crap for it all night long... Too lazy to turn up your own stereo and so on..
Little did we know what the future held.
Now we have remote control light bulbs in our house lamps..
Paulie and the rest of the crew are still in touch and they all still give me crap about this one. My wife is still here too - 40+ years later - and she pokes me with it every time I mention something I'd like to buy.
