Technology keeps getting cheaper and better. Generally, I don't much mind if my devices don't last beyond a few years, because in a few years there's something better available. The TV I bought last year cost less than a TV half the size that I bought seven years ago. Every computer I've purchased has cost less than the previous one, and been a significant upgrade.
With tech I'm often kind of glad that things don't last overlong, so I have an excuse to upgrade! I'm basically frugal and don't generally upgrade just for the sake of having something new and shiny.
