Most of these 'technologies' are really just products. At best you could call them tools. If I want a hammer, do I have to try out every hammer on thr market? Or do I just buy one good hammer and get on with using it.

Yes, I look … up to that moment of hearing "yadda yadda" echo in my head ... usually around 30 seconds.
But I have to look … kind of like trying to reduce beer intake and yet involuntarily getting up and getting one from the fridge.
Ever so infrequently though … there is something that sparks the curiosity and I say to myself "ooh … a seed of possibility" … something to watch as it gains traction and community … but then kind of never does anyway.
But these days that seed seems to only happen every several years or so.

Really, Why can't we just make the current tech stable and supported?
It's all about new fads and wasting resources just for things to have more lights and more sounds.
Enter IoT, the most stupid idea ever, just to sell you a new fridge or a new coffee maker, or worst, a new salt dispenser http://www.mysmalt.com/[^]

Yeah this is basically where I'm at. I've been a programmer just long enough to realise that we're looping back and reinventing the stuff I learned when I was a student. Except now the sofware only runs inside one of two or three web browsers instead of one to three operating systems.

Every "new" idea these days seems to be a repackaging of an old idea, with a few fixes and maybe a few more bells and whistles. In order to sell it, the marketing "hypesters" design shinny new packaging that screams "new and improved." Often more money is spent on the hype – marketing, advertising and sales – than on research and development and on testing.
To paraphrase Charles Dickens's characters, Ebenezer Scrooge, in A Christmas Carol: new product — bah, humbug.

Is a right way to look at new Technology, give anytime Information for all. The Way is the Future with more Tech at all new Devices. Give a new right way for new development.

It happens here all the time, I recently stumbled across Blazor, it is still experimental but CP has articles about it that are a year old. Now that is the new tech I like, where someone else has done breaking in.

I am in principle interested on new tech, but my ambivalence keeps me calm and makes me think... it is something you really want to start with right now? When I at the end start to use it, I often get frustrated because it is not really stable or secure and support sucks (if even exists), and at the end I find myself thinking: "damn it, I should not even have paid attention to it, it brings more problems that it was supposed to repair"

Especially if the fart is using the latest technology.
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on the tech being released I can have any of those feelings.
|
|
|
|
|
This, although I rarely feel anything when the announcement happens.
Most of the "interesting" announcements are things I've been waiting almost half a decade for. Sometimes longer.

That's the gamut. Only from time to time something truly catches my attention enough to interest me.

If it's something that's going to have a good user community and be supported.
I may not be that good looking, or athletic, or funny, or talented, or smart
I forgot where I was going with this but I do know I love bacon!

More than not, before a piece of "technology" has had a chance to mature, grow, and get really damn good, someone introduces the red-headed bastard step child as the latest and greatest thing, and then we are all pushed back to the start of the game. Rinse and repeat, and still, nothing great ever makes it to market and we are all stuck in a canoe, going up-stream, without a paddle, picking our noses and whistling Dixie.

As an Android developer it's really a never-ending story of "we changed the libraries here" and "all new stuff is there" and "now change to androidX! it's all better than ever before"
Google has gone so wild... They even propagated (and really pushed you with warning message like "if you don't do this now with 2 clicks you have a hard time doing it by hand later") the all-new app-bundles, which, OF COURSE, are the latest and best we ever had, at a time, where not even Android Studio did support it!
So in the meanwhile, we shall already switch to new technologies BEFORE THEY ARE EVEN RELEASED!
Wait a year or two and we will have to adapt our code as soon as they ANNOUNCE that they start developing something new... 
We can't do any releases for the next year but hey...! we are up-to-date then!
This madness has to end...

Ambivalent: There's new tech over second day. If it's important,,,,,,,,,, I'll end up knowing about it

Never - I'll let them suffer the slings and arrows of a rush to market. That's assuming I'm even interested in it to begin with.
Initially, they all are assumed to have the fine care and workmanship that was put into Windows Vista.

Certainly possible - but like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" saga, I've just stopped listening, or more accurately, I purge my mental cache. Why track ephemera? There are hoards of "me me me" fools standing in lines for days to buy little more than a model number or 'savvy developers' downloading the language-of-the-week. Those that survive a year or two might be worth a thought. The rest? Ephemera. I'd rather play Dungeon Crawl.

Yes, most new ideas will bite the dust. I'm not interested in everything that pops up but I am interested in some - especially if it's not too far from what I'm already using commercially. But as to how far I go with it - the constraint is whether it looks like there's a chance I might get to use it commercially. That can be difficult to judge.
A lot of the time, though, I file stuff mentally and wait a year or so to see whether it's a thing.

I wonder who voted for Excited.. hahaha

People who either never hear about the newest tech announcements or who are always excited.
I'm not sure which of those I'd prefer
