the constant updating of all things electronic means the day will come when your macbook won't work at all. At least computers keep on getting cheaper and cheaper. A year ago I got a new laptop, replacing one that was six or seven years old, and I was quite honestly astonished at how much less expensive the replacement was than the original.

My personal fear is that they will make all new computers touch screen and without a proper keyboard. I've used those things on occasion, and it makes me totally enraged because I'm a fast and good typist on a regular keyboard, but the need to call up a new touchscreen keyboard for capital letters or for punctuation makes me want to do real damage to the idiot that thought that up.
