How many gadgets do you use for your daily life? One, two,
or three, or even more? Nonetheless, in this globalization era, everyone needs
tools to make life easier. One gadget is often not enough to satisfy one’s
need. Years ago, using a computer for studying, working and gaming could be
sufficient, eve for the whole family. But today, one person can own ultra book
for working, tablet for gaming and entertainment, smartphone for communication
and MP3 player for listening to music. The problem is, gadget developers launch
at least one product in a month. So, gadgets will be out of date in less than a
year. This is very overwhelming. If someone always tries to keep his gadgets up
to date, maybe he will be trapped in financial problem in the future. So, what
should he do? Of course, he should see this condition wisely. For this matter, I
have some tips to consider.
First, before buying any gadget, you have o as yourself. “Do
I really need this gadget?” if the answeris NO, just don’t buy it. But if the
answer is YES, ask yourself again, “What for?” If you have obvious purposeyou
may buy the gadget. However, due to the fact that the development of technology
is growing fast , you can consider to buy the latest type of gadget you want to
buy. Maybe it will cost you a lot of money, but you can use it for 1 – 2 years.
Second, see the gadget specification not the advertisement. We
have to be aware that not every gadget which is advertised on TV or magazine as
good as it looks. Advertisement can exaggerate it. For example, I-Phone products
always seem better than any android phones. But, if we see the specification,
there are some android phones which have almost similar functions to I-Phone. Of
course, the operating system is different. But the CPU, RAM, internal storage and
camera can comparable.
However, having the latest gadget is not everything. We have
to check our financial plan first before buying any gadget. Gadget is not
created to make us feel burdened. Some people maybe become a prisoner in this
modern erabecuse of the gadget development. Borrowing money from the bank is
unacceptable.
In summary, we have to face the technology development
wisely. Do not force yourself to keep up date. Consider the priority above
other things.
