New Technology

OK so been watching all the news on the IPhone 5.  I love it, I want it, but I'm not sure why.  Is it that it is trendy (oh yes it is), is it because it is the best out there (really been thinking about it), or is it just because it is new technology (and I love new stuff).  I have been really thinking about this lately.  I love technology but not sure if it because of the new ways it will help me, or is it because it is the newest stuff.
