By that I mean that you wallow in the mediocre technology of the masses, blissfully unaware of the benefits of more advanced technology.
Just like the serfs of medieval times, who tilled the earth, and lived a subsistence existence.
I, on the other hand, am like a feudal lord, enjoying all the creature comforts that my elevated station affords me.

And before you peasants start chiming in with the standard "Windows is good enough - I don't need all that stuff", think about this: THE LORD OF THE MANOR DOESN'T NEED A CASTLE, AND SHITLOADS OF FOOD AND BEER AND HOOKERS, BUT IT SURE BEATS LIVING IN A MUD HUT AND LIVING ON BREAD AND WATER.
