Your slow adherence to new fashionable technologies at times, in my view, are a good kind of conservatism: there is too much pressure to buy new things, each year there is a lot of competition between companies to releases new fancy things. People tend to buy smartphones like a piece of cloth nowadays, changing frequently (IPhone for instance is an immense marketing machine). Your slow reaction to that is in some way like a liberal act, because in a world where everyone goes in the flow of marketing and planned obsolescence for products, using products consciously of their utility not for their fashion, is a nice conservatism act (or liberal, in the sense that you don't go with the marketing flow) :) As in everything in life, the middle path is the wisest one, conservatism can be good sometimes too in some contexts :)
It is a big topic indeed, in future posts we'll talk more friend :)
