Peer pressure through technology

There is a lot of peer pressure to get the newest technology for example with apple everybody wants an upgrade from there newish iPhone 4s to get the latest iPhone 5. This is so people feel like they can understand the newest technology and also how it benefits them. Online security is for protecting your privacy and is used on all social networking accounts, bank accounts and other sites that may need to protect information about as person or things important to the person. I think that peer pressure on this subject is good though because if people have the latest technology then they will understand it better and it will make IT as a subject stronger and more interesting to learn about. There is also a lot of competition with not only the customers that buy these products but the different business’s that produce them… they all want to get a higher profit so they all try to make their technology to the highest quality but they all end up making the same thing there is really never that much difference in the product. This also links in with the advertisement as people are bought in by the adverts that these companies make for their product. Phones have not always been such a big part of people’s lives though as the first wireless phone was produced 1n 1947 where many family’s couldn’t afford a phone and you was considered very rich and cool to be seen with one or they would have one in their family home but it would be a house phone and wouldn’t be wireless it would have a long cord whereas in the last 10-15 years it is quite strange for people to not have a phone.
