I'm the same way wrt upgrading computer equipment. I still use my laser printer from 1992 and won't buy a new cartridge eater until I can no longer get the cartridges refilled (and I fear we're just about there). My "smart" phone is from 2008 and my main desktop CPU/Motherboard is from (I think) 2012.
I did actually study computer science, but I doubt I would choose to do so if I were the age I was back then now, as I don't think computers are much fun anymore. My first CP/M computer (Kaypro II) was so basic that I just about personally understood literally every byte in the operating system.
These days, I barely feel like I'm the one in charge of my own technology anymore. Modern smart phones in particular, have trained their "owner" to work for them rather than the other way about.
OK, rant over.
