It seems you are not the type to run out and adopt the shiny new thing on day one. I commend you for this. You haven't bought a hydrogen car yet? That's ok.

You haven't tried a cordless drill? Well, alright. You don't have to. You can survive without one. But rather than ask others what the big deal is at this point, why don't you just try one the next time you have to screw a picture to the wall. Borrow one if you don't want to commit to owning. Figure out for yourself whether having a charger and having to swap batteries is worth it. Maybe you'll decide it isn't. Maybe you'll be disgusted that you have to buy a new drill every 10 years while your 40 year old corded model still works fine.

But don't be too shocked if everybody else makes the leap. Sometimes the shiny new fad really is the future.

And you can still keep your corded drill around for those times when it really is the better tool for the job.
