WHERE IS THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY?
Core 2 Duo Processors are the latest trend today , Quad Cores will become soon and Dual Cores were couple of months back but Pentium 4 Processors are the latest trend and better than Dual Core? Well that is what according to a computer shopkeeper. It all started when I when with my friend to buy some blank DVDs.
We went to a shop which also turned out to be a computer hardware shop. A guy came there to buy a processor. As the shopkeeper and that guy were discussing about processors, he asked about the Dual Core processor. I was completely shocked from the shopkeeper’s reply.
Here are the exact words of him “Dual Core processors are low in performance when compared to Pentium 4 and to run Dual Core processors you must have minimum two ram modules.” And he is running a computer hardware shop!.
Well he was trying to empty his Pentium 4 stock by cheating the customer. I couldn’t control myself and said “Buy Core2Duo. It is the latest and the fastest.” As I’m only 17 years old, shopkeeper was surprised from my reply and didn’t say a word . But when I was leaving the shop, he said Core2Duo Processors are costly. I replied by saying 8000 Bucks is not much considering the performance. I don’t know what happened after that but what I’m trying to say is that we should help such customers who don’t know about new technology. There are many people in India who still don’t know about Dual Core Processors. They still think Pentium 4 is the latest processor. Everyone knows about the latest mobiles and their features but why not computers? Such shopkeepers are responsible for this and lack of awareness among the people. You can find lots of advertisements of cell phones on TV but Processors, Motherboards or Graphic Cards? Hardly one or two or not even that. Only tech magazines give ads of processors, Motherboards etc but how many average users buy tech magazine? Sadly answer is no one.
People should be aware of new technology and these shopkeepers. Being a computer geek I think it is my duty to save customers from falling into traps of such shopkeepers. So you all go out and save your friends , relatives and let the new technology spread in India.
So where is the Latest Technology??

Bro very True ! Good article too… You can’t really blame the Shopkeepers too, as they themselves don’t have enough knowledge.
What I feel should happen is Mags like Chip, Digit,etc should take an initiative and organize a seminar for such Shopkeepers and update them on Technology atleast once in 3 months.
*sigh* so true.
