Not following technology doesn't mean being anti-technology or spending most of your time sitting at home and complaining about the modern advancements happening around you. Instead, it refers to a group of consumers who do not feel the need to adopt every new technology that comes out all the time. They gather information first to determine which technology truly suits them before making a purchase, and this helps them save money. So, how do they save money? Let's take a look.

Skip the latest version

     People who do not follow technology may not use the latest iPhone or fight through crowds to grab the newest gadgets just to be among the first to use them. Their intention is to wait and ensure which technology truly meets their needs, and they wait for the prices of these technologies to drop before making a decision to buy.

Buy older technology

     Older iPhones often see a price drop of about 3,000-4,000 baht when the latest models are released. Therefore, if you buy an older iPhone, you can save up to 3,000-4,000 baht, and you might save even more by purchasing a well-maintained phone from someone who loves the latest technology and wants to sell their current device.

Avoid buying untested technology

     People who do not follow technology can save money by avoiding the purchase of gadgets or technology that are still in the testing phase or under development. Some newly launched technologies may not be very stable, leading to frequent discontinuations of production and sales.

Avoid buying the latest technology

     While technology enthusiasts may experience excitement from using the latest gadgets, they may also face challenges with new systems, continuous upgrades, managing system bugs, and the risk of data loss if the technology is discontinued.

Avoid Premium Pricing

     The Premium Pricing strategy involves setting prices for products higher than similar items in the market. Brands like Apple clearly set their products at premium prices, whether it's main products or accessories, which are priced higher than other brands. If you buy technology or gadgets that use the Premium Pricing strategy right at launch, you may end up paying more because this strategy creates a sense of urgency to buy. Additionally, many consumers are drawn to these products, causing prices to soar during the initial launch period. However, for those who do not follow technology, they will wait before purchasing, as the popularity of newly launched products often wanes quickly, and prices may drop within just a few weeks.

     If you are not working in the technology field, like bloggers who constantly review and recommend new gadgets to consumers, there is no need for you to keep up with the latest technology. This can help you save more money and allow you to consider which gadgets truly suit your needs, so you won't waste money on things you don't actually want.
