Reasons Why We Buy Gadgets

1. Because it Looks Cool - First and the most common reason why we buy our gadgets. Simply because they are very pleasing in our eyes. When I first saw the iPad, I had no question in mind and had to get one even though I knew that it was just a oversized iTouch. I looks so thin, clean and sassy.

And tons of other people buy their gadgets for the same reason:

Looks so big and glossy right?

Wanna get a pair of these? 

Would be cool to be walking around with a nice looking pair of beats!

How about the iMac?

If you had tons of spare cash would you cash in with one of these?

2. I Wanna Be The Latest - Some people buy gadgets because they just wanna touch the latest of products, without even minding the specs at all or knowing what that gadget does. As long as it is new and popular, we would grab em' immediately. What would the iPad3 look like? Its also cool to be one of the first to be walking around with the latest product from Apple. By then we no longer think about the specs and what it does and we just convince ourselves thats its all going to be good the moment we buy it.

3. The Fear of Being Left Behind - Once the iPad3 is released and everyone and even your friends immediately shifts to the newest and latest and having you sit there with the "then" latest product. Then a sudden feeling of awkwardness starts to creep in making you want to climb up where others are and be updated.

4. Addicted to Superior Quality - Some people just can't get enough with better and better quality. And especially the BIG numbers.

Some of us do not really understand what those words and numbers mean. But somehow even if we do not understand them, we are attracted to BIG figures. Like "high performance", X number of speed, "Ultra" this and that. Makes you wanna go mad just by reading the specs.

But this by far among the four is the most legitimate reason to buy a gadget since there is a logical reason involved and not just buying something all because it looks cool and new. 

And the last reason why we buy gadgets is:

5. Because We Actually Need It - Let's take the cellular phone for example. Most people, especially young people are the ones so crazed about the latest and overpriced cellular phones with lavish features and designs. And would switch to another unit whenever a new one arrives.

But to think, what most of these young people do with their cellular phones are just texting, calling and playing games. If you go it by that, this is what we actually need:

But then I was just trolling around. If you have lots of spare cash then why not take advantage with all of the advance features technology has to offer. But if you are spending cash endlessly with the top 3 reasons above. Then that would be a problem that shouldn't be ignored.
