As a man in this day and age , we are bound to like technology and we use them every day.
Now that the heavy opening sentence out of the way , i'm going to tell you my view about technology and people that uses them (in this case , phone ). I like phones and its feature, i like comparing them and looking a news about them, and watching a whole universe of big multinational industry revolving around them. Looking at my phone now (its Xperia z3 , if you're a tech nerd like me and wondering what phone do i use) i feel amazed. just 5 years ago while Nokia still sitting one the thrones of smartphone game . . . well when i said smartphone they weren't very intelligent back in the days ,anyway with the old Nokia i would struggle just to browse internet on it. The N70 i owned was basically a telephone with music capability on it , and i Loved it very much. Especially because it was the Express Music variant with an earphone that had a remote control on it ? it was brilliant. No processor "refresh" every 6 months cycle ,best yet you can play with your friends via bluetooth, pretty cool eh ?

Now skip forward to modern days. I use phone for everything starting for chatting and internet , then watching movies on the go with it. To be honest i'm still quite amazed how far we come from in just 5 years. Smartphones are truly smart now , the can tell you when to go set location reminder for you . Not only smart , some of the phone are made from appealing material like metal and glass, truly beautiful.
But with all that technological goodness , comes some bad things out if it.In the simpler days that is 5 years ago. the feeling that your device is Outdated rarely comes to mind. Almost everybody are on the same platform . . symbian. But now everything has changed first and most prominent example is phone forums. If you look at Xperia blog or any blogs that designated for a particular smartphone manufacturer comment section . All you can see are people bickering about update and trying to dictate how the manufacturer do so sell their phones. One would suggest more budget advert, and others who runs around with their hands over their head and suggesting a new feature. Worse than that more and more people demands fast update with fully redesigned software too often.Comes to think of it , our behaviour as nerds towards Phones are really irregular , no one buys a house and then rant on the manufacturer forum when they want a new, more efficient lights for their kitchen don't they?
I'm curious , why cant we just like our devices for the things we got when we fist unbox it? if everybody else already on the newer version of Android OS , why should we have them and why we got mad if the update cutting out a new feature ? can people just be more grateful about the thing that they purchased with their hard earned money? No one buy a new car and ask the manufacturer for an update don't they? . . . wait , they can do that now with Tesla model S ? oh boy . . .
