Even though we know it will be passé in the next few years, but we don’t mind camping overnight just to get our hands on that tech early.

We know that the price will reduce next few years hence, but we don’t mind paying for the exorbitant price now.

Novelty makes us feel good that we sometimes miss assessing the big picture.
