IPAD: A LUXURY OR NECESSITY?

Technology obviously has been gearing up. Man continues to explore, innovate and develop more to satisfy and meet the demands of the public. The advent of computer technology paves the way to global competitiveness in terms of production of handy gadgets that goes with the pace of this busy world.

Ipad is of course one of these amazing gadgets that answers to the demands of time. It delivers information as quickly as a click of a finger right before you anywhere and anytime. People of all walks of life need to quicken their steps to augment their income and make both ends meet. However, they need also a sort of protection for survival against the environmental and social challenges that may thwart their long- held dream to achieve their goals in life.

Ipad is one of the solutions to keep them abreast of the times and keep them aware of the earth shaking phenomena above all. It will also serve as their warning shot that they have to “stop look, and listen” to the pulse of this chaotic and busy world. Since it is handy, information is accessible even if they are trapped in a busy street waiting for the traffic jams to end or at a rest corner in a noisy mall taking a deep breath after long hours of heavy work or in a park while talking a rest or trying to breathe some fresh air or in a sea wall with their loved ones all along the way.

Yes Ipad may be useful at times and a necessity to cope with such above mentioned scenario but it is a luxury on the other hand for those who belong to the poverty line. For the elite or a few from the middle men who could afford to have such gadget, it is not a burden for their pockets but a basic need. Well, inasmuch as this product is presently in vogue and is like a proverbial hotcake among the upper class, it maybe coined as a status symbol, But time changes swiftly and this gadget will depreciate and soon become affordable and a need for the lower class. It is only a matter of come and go theory. This ipad will soon be a faded glory and will be replaced with a more advanced tool. Like for instance, before only the rich could afford to buy TV but time came that it has become easy to get for the poor.

The issue that Ipad is a necessity or luxury dies naturally as the influx of more advanced technological breakthroughs is uncontrollable. A want now may become a need as time goes by. The answer to the issue depends upon a consumer’s point of view. It is a luxury if his purpose is just to keep up with the Joneses even if it is already beyond his budget and income. It is a need if it is light to his pocket and is also fit for the nature of his work and his status in the society.
