Buying new technology

Purchasing new technology can always be invigorating and thrilling, however there are many factors to consider when investing your money into something “new and advanced” like digital cameras.

Steps:

1. Remember all the consumer products that failed to become popular.

2. Remember all the consumer products that only sold for a few years because they were superseded by better technology.

3. Remember all the good technologies that were squeezed out by superior marketing strategies by manufacturers of competing technologies.

4. Consider the convenience and ease-of-use of the new product; these factors usually prevail over quality in the marketplace.

5. Think about retail changes necessary for a product to succeed.

6. Find out what technologies will compete with the one that interests you, and which is likely to be better.

7. Look for reasons why the technology might be flawed, or too gimmicky or complex to succeed.

8. Evaluate the quantity of advertising and marketing. Decide if promoters of the new technology are marketing it aggressively enough to ensure its success.

9. Make sure that several manufacturers will introduce products, and that the original manufacturer will license the technology to competitors.

10. Expect the first products to market will lack the performance quality and features of the next generation.

11. Remember that prices will be high until product sales warrant mass production - if that happens.

12. Make sure the product does what you want it to do, and that a more functional product isn't on the horizon.
