Currently, making a decision for purchasing a new technological device
plays a crucial role in daily life in many places where people play or work.
Some people believe that it is better to purchase a cutting edge device
immediately than wait until others have bought it. Both views have their
reasons to support their ideas. However, if I had to choose one, I would say
that people need to wait until many people have had a purchased the device. There are several reasons as
follows.
To begin with, buying a new technology device is not economically
effective due to the price of device. Most of a cutting edge
devices are is made up of new components,
functions, etc. Because of these technologies, a device’s price is too
expensive to buy immediately. For instance, when my younger brother was in a
high school, he wanted to purchase a laptop and my parents bought him a
laptop one. He was proud of his laptop in
his school. However, one month later, the price of the
laptop had been dramatically dropped, and the company had held a
discount promotion for high school students. Therefore, he regretted buying a
the laptop immediately, and realized that it is
better to wait for purchasing products what that
he wanted. This indicates that it is more desirable to wait a while.
On top of that, buying a new technology device is risky due to the fact
that their function is unproven. Generally, when a brand new product comes onto
the shop, most of people do not have a way of knowing its condition. So,
people need to put up with risky situations. For
instance, in Korea, a brand new cellphone called Galaxy 7 was established
launched last year by Samsung. Most of
people bought this cell phone immediately. However, one weeks later, the
device was malfunctioned due to the a
problem that was caused by the battery.
Therefore, the Samsung decided to recall all products that were released onto the market. As a result, people who
purchased Galaxy 7 were rewarded (여기선 안 좋다고 표현을 해야 하는데, rewarded라는 표현은 오히려 긍정적인 느낌을 줍니다. 차라리
given을 써주세요) another cellphone that launched previously. This implies
that people have to contemplate when they want to buy a cutting edge product.
All things considered,
I firmly believe that buying a brand new product needs to bear some risky
conditions and is not economically cost-effective. All in all, I think that it
is better to wait until a myriad of people have purchased it.
