Gadget Accessories - Between Utility and Fashion Trends By Adi Moga

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

For some people, the only goal in life is to have the latest gadgets that can impress the world and everything around them, and I have nothing against this. After all, not everyone can find satisfaction in having friends you can trust, a family, a job that allows you to be more than a robot, and so on. Some people really do have to be full of high-tech devices, just to fill the void inside, but this is not a problem for us now because we are not going to talk about the man-machine relationship. The subject is much easier to digest, and quite interesting, I think - once you get a certain device, you need several accessories for it, but how many of them are really useful, and how many are purchased as a direct result of fashion trends Spinning around us?

First, we will have the laptop as an example. Lately, I've seen a lot of people do not really need, but end up buying just to look smart and impress your friends with one. Yes, it seems that owners of desktop computers are becoming one of the endangered species on Earth, but at least you can not stop spending money on accessories too, once you have a desktop computer. I'm not talking about games or expensive sound systems, but those little things that only one user can be portable - a box, custom vinyls, and so on.

To conclude this part, let me say that the only "fashion" that went through my mind since I got my desktop computer to my painting, but ended up dropping the idea, partly because of price but also because only a few people who have been privileged to see the artwork on the side of my computer case. If I had a laptop, then the designer and fashion freak hidden inside me that you have surely pushed me at least one (black obviously) and a leather vinyl habit for him, but not I'm there ...

Then our beloved (or not) mobile phones. As strange as it may seem, I know people who hate cell phones. I can not say that I love mine, either, but at least I do not treat it like a poisonous snake. If you buy an iPhone 3G $ 200, why not take a $ 500 leather case? Of course, one from Gucci or Louis Vuitton, not something the market around the corner, but ... Is it really worth it? Get $ 200 phone and $ 30 a nice leather case - which is helpful, but a case twice as expensive as the phone, that fashion slavery!

Finally, (almost) the whole world the pride and joy, portable media players! There is a custom engraved, in every possible case colors and styles, but when crossing the line between utility and the trend? For me, a rose is not something that I use, but if you like your user, and is not crazy price, which is useful, sure. Furthermore, the purchase of one of the Dior iPod cases available for inflated prices, but it is a waste of money. Do not misunderstand me - fashion trends tend to be spending money, but an expensive case for the iPod is certainly more useful than a pink hat for your dog!

Today gadget lovers, especially those on a budget, it is more difficult with each day to decide what's useful and what can be dropped along the way, and accessories market will always find themselves trapped between the provision of useful, inexpensive items and high-end accessories for those who have been conquered by boosting marketing assault various fashions and brands forward. In the end, I think most important is to see the best gadget accessories that, ignoring the fashion trends!
