I can see where you're coming from.

OTOH, if I look back to where I came 
from - playing acoustic 
guitar/piano/flute in the seventies, and 
electric guitar/synth starting from the 
eighties and onwards - I feel that there 
are so many new things today that allow 
me to make my own music in so many 
different ways in exchange for such a 
reasonable investment, that I honestly 
can't complain at all.

I'm sure extremely cool new developments 
will go on, but it's not like in the 
meantime we don't have gear to make 
music - and to me, making music is still 
what it's all about.
And things like those lightning cubes 
that have to be moved and placed on some 
surface to make sound; I think they are 
funny, but, to be honest, rather boring. 
And if they'll invent some new edible 
synthesizer particles that make sound 
while being digested during peristalsis, 
I don't think I would really care ;-)
