technology overload?

there are so many new kinds of technologies out there, such as twitter, wed designn programs, etc. that are meant to make our lives easier. but at the same time, i can help but feel overwhelmed that there are too many options out there. and we r expected to keep up with all of them, which is just impossible for me. as soon as i get the hang of a program, its replaced with a newer better one. as soon as i get used to navigating and interacting on facebook, they change the layout. why cant things just stay simple? keep it simple stupid.
