The Price of the Digital Revolution

Although the advent of digital imaging has opened many paths, it has also seemed to have devalued others. My old reliable Hasselblad equipment is a good example. In the past, it has always retained its value, even as it has aged, something 35mm cameras were never able to do. They were so reliable and well built, that the market for them was always strong.
Now, because of the digital revolution, a Hasselblad's value has fallen dramatically. I would be lucky to get half of what I paid for mine now. In some ways, this seems very sad to me. We seem to be devaluing our past accomplishments for the glitter of what is new and fashionable. I assume that every generation goes through this, and it is just my turn to do the same. Any comments on this and similar phenomena out there?
