Technology Wars
So, i have (in this case, a phone) by company A, you have one from company G. We’re both happy with the product we have, there should be no problem, right? Wrong.
The amount of times i’ve been talking to a fellow company A customer about said phone and had a company G customer jump in and rag on our chosen product is now getting to a point of utter stupidity. Here’s some points for you.
i bought my first company A phone about a year before company G offered a product here in australia. i LIKE my phone, i like what it does so when the hardware seemed to be dying, i replaced it with the next version up instead of changing completely simply because company A was not only continuing to suit my needs, but was improving in that area.
i am happy to hear about what you like about your company G phone, or your company B phone… or any other phone (or other piece of technology on the market) that you may have. What i’m not interested in hearing about is how overpriced company A is, how bad the products/company practises/etc are. i know company A to be imperfect, but i also know companies G and B aren’t perfect either. if you are ASKED for this information, by all means, share. but when i’m having a conversation about company A’s product with someone else kindly do not jump in and rag on it, or us.
And this applies the other way around, too. i have seen company A customers to the same to company G/B/etc customers. This is just as unacceptable. Don’t do it.
Leave the tech wars to the manufacturers and be nice to people and respect their interests.
