Everyone should do what brings them enjoyment.My preference is to simplify.I used to be a buy a new bow every two years guy,now I have had the same bow for 6 years and it still shoots better than I do,it is quiet,fast and rugged.It is all I need to hunt the way I want to.My carbon express arrows are vintage 3 or 4 years ago and they will be used until I don't have a half dozen perfect one's any longer.My release is a tru-ball pinky extreme and it continues to do what I need it to do,I am tempted the most by some of the new carter releases.We will see how that goes.My range finder is 12 or 13 years old and when it craps out I will buy one of the nice smaller one's.I enjoy trail camera use.I have two digitals that I will continue to play with.
I use a gps to navigate and to mark stand sites and area's that have sign or peak my interest in some way.
I think there is a distinction between beneficial technology and gadgets,although that is subject to an individuals opinion.My interest is becoming a better and better hunter.New broadheads,lumenocks,front of center arrows,the list goes on and on,is not going to contribute to that.
