And I could still live without it...

A better example would be high-speed internet or ever-faster CPUs.

People in places like ROK and Sweden brag on their 100Mbps internet 
connections, but 8Mbps is more than adequate for my needs, even when 
downloading movies.

Same with CPUs: an AMD64x2 4000+ and nvidia 7300 meet all my needs. 
 As far as RAM, I went to 1GB about 5 years ago, and it was Good 
Enough.  When I got a new mobo a couple of years ago, RAM was so 
cheap, I just had to go with 8GB, and I can't see myself needing 
more for quite a number of years.
