How people end up with old stuff, the kind of thing they like to have most in life, but get the old outdated dysfunctional form of it, the answer is in that old popular stuff is what fueled the ideas and sustained itself and is visible to the attainer, and new stuff happens without and indicator of it, from few those who create it. You might chase for the best of idea and surely get a wrong thing out of it, or still a good thing in a wrong time which does not compatibly fit as one expects, because that expectation is based on old time information, not present. One needs to have real current information of whats happening, its not news, but events that are never told, and only obtaineable while engaging with conversation and events.

People look for a goal, and end up doing the work their effort allows them to do. I.e. they move effort*direction_towards_goal, and with enough effort they reach the goal.
