Are we getting what we are paying for?

"HSDPA" "HSPA" "EDGE" "Adreno Cortex" "ARM" "Quad-core processor" "Dual-band"

You must have already heard of these terms for sure, isn't it?
What do we know what does this all mean & what does it directly or indirectly effects our gadget?

A review was done by Digit magazine in 2012 that most of us don't know the meaning of the above mentioned terms & many more like them but we never hesitate to buy the things which have these kind of complexities in it. So the ultimate conclusion of this is that we don't know what for we are shedding our money. A very simple question to ask, how many of us have used the GPS of our smart hand-held efficiently & independently? How many of us have done a video-conferencing from our hand-held to some other without any network fail? How many QR codes or bar codes are scanned by our phones give us a positive results?
          The answer for these questions are absolutely non-affirmative. So what's the use of buying the things which we can't use properly? Are we trying to follow the west? Are we foolish to buy these? 

For an instance, when we buy an iPhone in India we say that the Siri doesn't come up properly, the iMaps doesn't work, the iTunes store has nothing for India & what not we say. What does these mean?

The very childish meaning for this is the iPhone was not made for India (in general). Jobs never created that keeping in mind the 'great' telecommunication service which prevail outside US (like India). It was only meant for US not for 'us'. Not only with cellphones, this thing is applicable for TVs, computers & all other gadgets that we use.

The developing countries develop the technology for themselves not for others. The technology works there not here.
  • In US, one can find Wi-Fi hotspot atleast at every public place with minimum 16MBps downloading speed & in India (leave it I don't need to say that).
  • There you can get GPS networks with updated place data everywhere (even in villages). They have got 4G & 5G connections with full network everywhere. Here, do have a proper 2G signal in villages?
  • There you can get over 400 HD channels on their cable TV network. Here we have hardly 20 which we get after buying some Tata Sky or Dish TV & that too after shedding money.
 So guys get alerted. Google the things out & be careful while shedding your money.
