Is technology the cause for the recession ?

people seem to like placing blame on governments and societies for problems that a population faces. ive done some thinking and realized that things we call improvements and better technology has caused a recession. ask yourselves this , how long was the vcr in existence it was a main stream media device brought into existence in 1972 and ending its life span in 2000 , as well as televisions normal tube televisions have lasted just as long if not longer , vehicles have used the same exterior designs and interior engines for spans of 10 years or more .other long lasting technology such as fuel , home layouts and design and store fronts hell even how food is produced has had a lasting stability up until 1997 or so.
since 1997 we have had 4 different types of viewing devices released the tube televisions the flat screen tube televisions , projection televisions , and hd televisions, in the gaming market we have seen very short spans between the life of each system sold compared to before, vehicle engines have been revamped and over hauled more times than i can count as well as frame work etc , furniture everything you can think of theres many versions of when before there was only 1 version of technology distributed at a time, New = cost more new more cost and the less money we have to buy all the new , Ipod have come out with so many versions all continuously expensive because they dont take the time with their Original creation to make it cheaper they drop things and go to the next costing the companies money and thus causing what you see before you consumer impatience and greed has left us for dead company's are going bankrupt because of the new they produced that didn't sell because of insignificant differences. for example have you ever asked yourself when buying something well what makes this one better than what i have now ? back then that question was absurd . it was like asking whats the difference Between black and white tv and color tv . We have shot ourselves in the foot but we are to demanding and intolerant to see it do you agree?
