Technology manufacturers need you to upgrade all your tech every year, so that you (and not them) pay for their R&D (research and development) in order to obtain a quick ROI (Return On Investment) for their troubles.

With regards to your personal computer, you could be running a 6 or 8 year old processor, and according to the 'mainstream' you must update, because your hardware is 'ancient', but do you really need to update?
Well that depends on what you're doing.
