Technology is growing faster every day; long ago we had to wait three or four years until our devices were old-fashioned but today, just look around! How many commercials of new devices do you see? How long has been since you purchase a new mobile device? Or since you thought you weren’t update with technology?
Companies help this growth of tech, in fact some of them create new companies to launch and distribute their new products and services like Barnes and Nobles, which creates a completely separate business for its Nook where you can find the e-reader but also a complete bookstore, which also makes you recommendation.
But… Are people ready for this mobile devices invasion? Smartphones, tablets, e-readers, wearable devices, they are all included in a large list that grows per second. However, the truth is that as fast as they rise they are abandoned.
Look for example e-readers, in 2012 there were 25 millions units at United States but, according to a research by the end of 2017 they would be less than 7 millions. As you see it is an impressive decrease that reflects exactly the key point: Is it necessary to control technology development when it comes to the market as a device?
Advantages and disadvantages of mobile devices
If we have to emphasize one category where this growth is spectacular among all technology sector, it would be mobile.
Searching on the Net we have discovered that is impossible to find how many new devices are launched this year. Time ago we published a list of smartphones launching this year and it was incredibly difficult to choose some against others because of how many there were.
Have you compared one mobile version with its next one, for example the Galaxy S4 and S5? If you don’t, try it and you will see that they are not so different. It is necessary to launch a new device every year?
For companies the answer is yes but as consumers we have to be clever and don’t let them create in our minds the necessity of purchasing a new mobile device every year. Before buying a new one think if it is going to bring you a plus of quality or if some upgrades doesn’t deserve a lot of your money every year.
