There is a great deal happening on the tech front both by techies and more importantly by non-techies.
A sms lands on my odd sized and odd shaped but reliable and efficient Nokia (market leader in India), "Pls sms me yr mob no. as I lost all numbers in my prev ph and dont know how to tfr to my E90". I did not know whether to laugh or cry!
What is the message about?
- to find my mobile no which is meaningless as I received it on my mobile number, or
- about change of the phone by the person or
- about possessing E90
It also reminded me of a nice conversation with a tall fast growing professional who is a flashy personality (FP)
FP - I need an advise from you (with a serious face)
D - How can I help?
FP - I travel a lot.
D - Hmm
FP - Can't do without a computer
D - Hmm (guessing where it is going)
FP - Travelling is very stressful and is back breaking.
D - Hmm...hmm...hmm
FP - Blackberry does not fully open all attachments
D - Hmm...hmm....hmm (Come to the point man)
FP - Current laptop is actually very big and weighty. I need to move to a smaller one
D - Hmm (Just because boss's boss has a small one....)
FP - I am not going for the top of the range but a mid priced one
D - Hmm (it is more than twice the current laptop anyways)
FP - What do you say? Will it suit my personality?
D - Great idea. It will look fantastic. AND WILL WORK AS WELL AS CURRENT ONE ANYWAY
So, non techies are buying these top of the range gadgets for its efficiency, technology, option availability alone!
I hope developers of new technology are aware of this phenomenon.
This also reminds me of a great terminology used by a firang to describe such consumers
PEACOCKS !!!!!!
