You and your tech

IF you are fond of technology but not all that savvy about understanding its technical specifications then we have something in common. Do you get confused when deciding what your next mobile device will be? What factors influence your decision at the right time to replace your car, and what factors do you keep in mind when deciding which car to buy next? Do you have a solar generation system at home? If so, did you go for a hybrid system with a battery or a standard grid tied inverter? How did you make your decision on which system is best for you, and how did you settle on the size of the system to get? We are surrounded by consumer choices involving technology, but I am surprised at how people often make these decisions without even looking at the most important factors. Take, for instance, the individual who must have the latest iPhone in his or her hand yet uses it for little more than doomscrolling WhatsApp groups or basic social media feeds. One of the worst ways to view technology is as a marker of social status.
