The Problem With “Waiting For Better Technology”
While I am certainly prescribed to this idea of waiting for better technology over the course of years or even just months, I’m also aware that there are a lot of downsides to this way of thinking. Long story short, I really strive to get value out of my devices these days which ultimately means they not only have to perform well over a long period of time but they have to be durable in order to reach that long period of time I’m referring to. All this to say, I keep convincing myself that the longer I wait for technology to improve before buying a new device, phone or laptop, the better my experience will be since I’ll have a device that far exceeds my previous one. Here are the flaws in that logic.
The Time Proposition
A lot of improvements to technology over the years have been based on quality-of-life improvements. While there are certainly different meanings behind this idea, the primary one is certainly based around time. Faster speeds, easier to access features so on and so forth. So while you may be able to save some money, and some time by waiting for better technology to be brought to market, you’re also missing out on the time savings of faster processor speeds, loading times and of course just all around usability. So balancing the aspects of time can certainly be complicated when wanting to wait for better…
