First anyone who actually watched a Star Wars series must have realized that something was wrong. People were flying advanced craft, yet were often dressed like Jesus friends in Palestine, also they seemed to like living in quite primitive houses.
I think as well that if you look at the planet Earth from right angle, you will see diversity ranging from advanced boomerang weapons of the Aborigines in Australia, to most fashionable designs of houses on poles in the Amazon River on one end of spectrum, going right through the African countries and some maybe other third world countries where some people have mobile phones and cars, but most are happy when they have somewhere to sleep and something to eat.
Then we get to so called advanced countries, where we have reached a point where, any computer bought after 2005 will do fine with most basic things people do, like accessing standard to above standard websites, actually all word processing, many games, excluding the newest ones, though even there there is a function to lower the tech requirements by choosing earlier version of DirectX.
Most developers know that many people still use old devices and some use newest. So, the trend is to support old ones as well. It does not go forever, yet as far as basic functionality is concerned at least on the user end most if not all programs or websites will work, sometimes with additional plug-in.
Then of'course most modern websites run on Silverlight technologies, that many people
cannot access quickly without some upgrades.
New iphone and other smartphone features, tablets and alike.
My belief is though that some people may treat them more as nuisance than help.
I mean it is small and when you are out, you want to rest from your IT world.
Constant exposure to the net and games and work can be tiring too, so when you have an excuse not to use tech, you take it up. now, that excuse is vanishing potentially tying people up to devices and in some ways enslaving them.
So, for the society to move on and to stay mentally and economically healthy
it is good and normal thing to have different technological levels.
In fact, diversity goes much higher, as some of the advanced technology is available only to the most rich perhaps, some of it is even beyond THEIR reach.
I am talking about so called future or secret technologies, either in development or unknown but used by others.
So, technological diversity is as great as it can get.
In other words -- some people walk, some ride, some drive, some go beyond speed of light.
All that can happen in relatively small space of our own planet, often without us realizing it.
As far as dating, you need to know that it will affect you.
In fact, I am not sure if I like a woman who runs around with newest gadget.
First, she will be more interested in it than in me, second, you may feel that there is no time of rest.
All depends though. Everybody should look what works best for them. Also at one point might be this approach at another different strategy will more effective.
