respect what you're playing with

i've been contemplating why I like electronic music from a decade ago better than what I hear now. The reason is not nostalgia. I think the obvious difference is in sound and substance.
Just a short while ago people were respectful of technology because the capabilities were so new. People who made music with computers were even a little intimidated by the tools they were using. So they were sure to tread carefully.
Now technology is so passe, and everything is taken for granted. So to me, you're not going to have a great influx of new music until people respect the tools they are using.
So maybe people need new tools.
