There are some people who feel like they can justify camping outside of a Best Buy for four nights in order to get the latest gadget. There are also those people who feel like they should still offer tech support for the lantern. As for me? I place myself right in the middle. The extreme technical name for my category is the early majority. We adopt new technology soon after it has been proven to be worth the money. The early majority does not adopt brand new technology like Angelina Jolie adopts African babies. I believe most college student will join me in saying that it would be easier to be apart of the innovators if we were a little more financial able. Of course almost every male out there wants the newest and shiniest gizmo that beeps and lights up. There is a certain amount of risk required to be an innovator. I found myself purchasing the LG Chocolat phone the first day it came out. Now, I did not plan it out years in advance. I needed a new phone and thought it was cool. Luckily, when I purchased the phone, I purchased the warranty as well. In a little more than a year, I have had to exchange the phone nine times for bugs and defects, none of which were my fault. I learned my lesson and now have pledged to only buy new technology after it has been proven in the market for a substantial amount of time. Hopefully, I will never fall so far behind new technology that I end up like my grandmother, a woman who still thinks her computer is broken because it won’t turn on with the remote.
