Whether should we buy new technological device immediately?
Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, the process of replacement of new technological device is so quick. Thus, many people think that you should better to buy it immediately when the new technological products be put into market. However, in my opinion, I prefer to wait until others have adopted it.
First of all, usually the new technological device has a higher price at the beginning of selling. That's because the technology company has invested fund to explore new product, they need to balance their cost in the exploration. Of course, if they don't set a high price at the beginning, their competitors may lower the price in the later and they may be influenced by this kind of price and therefore will lower it, too. Take my roommate for example, half years ago, he bought a smartphone with a high price about 3000RMB. This type of smartphone has some unique technology at that time to match its high price. But now, with its technology has been used by other smartphone company, the price has decreased to 1500RMB and the low price even makes my roommate regret.
Second, only through a period of time, the problems or shortcomings of those technological devices will be exposed to customers. In fact, new technology doesn't mean it is perfect or better than the old one. Even some new products exist potential risks for us. I learned from newspaper that one of the most famous technological companies in The South Korean recently produced a kind of most advanced smartphone. But what disappoints the costumers who bought it is that it may explode because of some flaws in battery. So many air plane companies have prohibited passengers bring it to plane. And the company has also taken measures to recall its products. You can avoid such situations if you choose to wait until others have adopted it.
Admittedly, buying it immediately can make you enjoy the advancements of technological quickly. But the speed of innovations in technological devices is dramatical.
